[The following, by May Long, was written subsequent to Sunday's rally for Jerusalem in Brookline, specifically in response to The Jewish Advocate's story about the event, then upcoming, J Street Won't Be Marching, which focused on J Street's unwillingness to join in.]
There was no room for J Street at the May 23 march and rally for United Jerusalem that attracted approximately 550 people outside of Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline!
There was room for truth and the celebration of the extraordinary coming together in friendship of hundreds of Jews and Christians who proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to their homeland with its capital -- an undivided Jerusalem.
Why would any factually informed organization that calls itself "pro-Israel" call the concept of a United Jerusalem an obstacle to peace? What could be their organizational goal?
Palestinian Media Watch reported last week that Palestinian children were being taught that they can vacation in any major city in Israel because Palestine consists of Gaza, the West Bank...and all of Israel, making all of Israel -- their country!
Recent studies around the US are reporting that some American public school text books are teaching the same lesson: Palestine is composed of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank! Do these lessons mean that the Palestinians are interested in peace if and when Israel carves up Jerusalem? Or is the real message "Palestine, From the River to the Sea"?
Every time Israel has sacrificed land for peace, the result has been less security and more violence as demonstrated by the tragic, unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. The obstacle to peace in the Mideast is the desire by Hamas, Hezbolla and all like-minded radical Muslim groups to eliminate the Jewish state.
Is the message of J street -- yesterday Gaza, today Jerusalem, tomorrow the sea?

Right on!
I have written a FAQ on why supporters of Israel should not support J Street

Sol,
Have you never heard pro-Palestinian demonstrators shouting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!"?
I believe it's not uncommon at such demonstrations. And in my experience, they seem rather serious about it.
In short: keep a sharp eye on the accusations Palestinians make against Israel. Chances are excellent that the Palestinians are doing it themselves... or that they would if they could.
respectfully,
Daniel in Brookline
Of course he has.
Sol has posted ictures of Roly-Poly Rolde and other moonbats holding up signs with that slogan. Note that Sol didn't write the piece and that May Long used the phrase in a clear reference to what the creeps advocate.
