Jeffrey Goldberg and Jeremy Ben-Ami, frenemies at last http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/jeffrey-goldberg-and-ben-ami-frenemies-at-last/ There’s a lively exchange over at the Goldblog over what J Street stands for; J Street’s Jeremy Ben-Ami gives as good as Jeffrey Goldberg has been giving him in recent weeks, and finally - finally -  removes the mealy from his mouth and actually tells us what he stands for. Agree with him, disagree, at least we now know: en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-10-23T;21:58:00-05:00 Comment by Saus saus@hashmonean.com “(If I’d known that’s what it takes to extract meaningful thinking from Jeremy was a little public abuse, I would have indulged ages ago.)” --- Ron, I think you’re slightly full of it, just like Ben-Ami himself who flows in the wind like a sail. All month the winds have been blowing badly for JStreet exposing the organization as way out of the Jewish mainstream views on Israel - So now he’s a huge moderate. At the end of the day Ben-Ami blows in whatever direction best helps Obama - Not Israel. “(If I’d known that’s what it takes to extract meaningful thinking from Jeremy was a little public abuse, I would have indulged ages ago.)”

This idea of a loose confederation of Israel-Palestine-Jordan will prove more effective . This notion was proposed 40 years ago by Arieh Eliav, who saw this “Benelux” formation as a way to provide not only the political identity the Palestinians want -but a real chance of economic progress for both Palestine and Jordan. This in turn provides rel security for Israel in the long run. Both “J” Street and Aipac would benefit by advocating the three-state solution.
