"They were blunt words. But they reflect a blunt truth: J Street is deliberately driving a wedge between the United States and Israel." jstreetdotorg is many things, but it's not pro-Israel.
That’s very interesting. What’s the division based on? I’m not familiar enough with direct AIPAC statements and actions to know, but the ADL has similarly (to their claim) seemed intent on creating animosity.
Meanwhile, right next to that tweet, communist Bernie Sanders calls out AIPAC, and AIPAC calls out Bernie Sanders’ donors.
I repeat, there are factions within “Israel”. What are the factions, and what are their goals, specifically? Theae divisions are not simple, and can’t be dealt with by simplistic thinking. This is not a defense or attack, as much as a “stop skipping straight to emoting and judging and go find some damn sauce and start working on discerning things”.

As far as Massie goes, I see these:
