US Jews' Views about the Middle East

Musa Keilani, The Jordan Times | July 22, 2008

J Street, which emerged as a counterweight to AIPAC, released a new poll indicating that US Jews' views about the Middle East are considerably more dovish than frequently acknowledged. ++ Large majorities of US Jews favor diplomacy with Iran and support a two-state solution in Palestine. ++ Furthermore, 64 percent said they were in favor of the withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq, while 28 percent opposed it. ++ It is time for the Arabs to found groups like J Street as well to ensure that their voices are also heard.
