What Does "Pro-Peace" Mean?
Goldblog reader David Marks writes:
If J Street supporters want to stop being so alienated from the rest of the Jewish community, a good first step would be to stop self-righteously calling themselves the "pro-peace" lobby. Everyone thinks that their view is the correct path to peace; and those who disagree with J Street think that J Street's view will only bring endless war. Calling yourself "pro-peace" only serves as an insult to anyone who doesn't agree with your views, who are, therefore, by default "pro war."
