J Street had trouble finding its voice during Israel’s bombardment and invasion of Gaza. When finally found, its voice was on the one hand and on the other. A bit like Tikkun circa 1987 – without the moral outrage and the politics of meaning.

Now after some internal infighting and desertions, J Street is back, ostensibly seizing the moment with Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land on the West Bank. Yes, back it is, but to where is the important question.
