Both events are sparking plenty of controversy. en-us aeden@jta.org Copyright 2010 2010-02-04T;19:49:00-05:00 david@hshco.com I cannot understand why JTA persists in spilling such an enormous quantity of ink (virtual or otherwise) writing about J-Street. They are a tiny, noisy anti-Israel wannabee organization that is best ignored. In its obsession with J-Street, JTA is losing site of the fact that “fair and balanced: does not meet giving equal weight and coverage to every fool’s opinion.
