The only difference between AIPAC and J-Street, is that J-Street thinks apartheid is bad for Israel.

The advocates of these laws are indefatigable. If the proposals fail to pass through any of the necessary stages, they are resubmitted over and over again in the hope of wearing out their opponents.
