Powerful U.S.-Israel Lobby Group Failed to Derail Iran Deal: Why? Because American Jews want Peace

That left-wing Jewish organization today is J Street. While J Street is supportive of Israel and its right to defend itself, it also firmly believes in peace and diplomacy – such as a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite the fact that J Street lacks the virtually inexhaustible financial resources of AIPAC, the liberal Jewish organization was able to play a significant role in blocking the resolution to disapprove the Iran nuclear treaty. That victory is yet another demonstration that the power of money in politics has its limits – especially when it is opposed by passionate groups of committed people with history and good sense on their side.
