J Street Executive Director Jeremy Ben-Ami is interviewed about
the policy course of his new organization by Steve Clemons and Fadi
Elsalameen for Palestine Note.
Ben-Ami responds to questions about
Iran, Obama's foreign policy course, the effectiveness of
Israel-Palestine Envoy George Mitchell, and about the task and
complications of being a progressive, pro-Israel organization when so
many want to approach Middle East issues in a zero sum frame.

"We're both Pro-Palestine and Pro-Israel, and we actually think that to be Pro-Israel you have to be Pro-Palestine, because there won't be an Israel without a Palestine."
What's funny is that this statement, that by all objective standards should be regarded as ordinary, is truly extraordinary because of the times we live in. Let's hope that J Street's work along with its partners on the other side could make this statement simply ordinary and more importantly, accepted.
