Having recently stripped thousands of Palestinian Arabs of their Jordanian citizenship, the Hashemite Kingdom warmly welcomed J Street to its pleasure palace last week.  In a display of cognitive hypocrisy, routinely practiced by J Street and the Obama administration, King Abdullah (not even shadow of his father, the erstwhile friend to Israel, King Hussein) blurted out the boiler plate demands for Palestinian "rights" (not in Jordan, of course) and statehood.  Joining in the chorus, J Street officials, no doubt blessed by their leader, Obama, somehow neglected to point out the mistreatment of Palestinians east of the Jordan.

Abuse of Palestinian Arabs has not been the sole activity of Jordanians, however. Some of the Great Expellers have included Kuwait (1991 - 400,000 along with hundreds of murdered Palestinians) and Libya (1998 - over a thousand were left to languish in refugee camps along the Egyptian border).

It is becoming increasingly clear that Obama is using J Street as his unofficial State Department (as he has done in the past with Robert Malley.) Pushing the two-state solution and an end to settlements is the constant refrain that Ben Ami will share with the Jordanians, Egyptians and the other 21 Arab States. It is also becoming clear that Obama may attempt to impose a solution to the conflict. Translate: Israel will be forced to concede anything Obama wishes with J Street backing him 100%. With the Mitchell mission treading water, BHO can always count on his J Street lackeys to ratchet up the pressure on Israel.
