[edit] Similarity between Independent Jewish Voices and J Street

Independent Jewish Voices, which is based in the UK, appears to be similar to this new American J Street group in motivation and purpose in my opinion. I am surprised that no one has made the explicit comparison yet. --John Bahrain (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

J Street is very new. There are several older American Jewish groups that are analogous to IJV, such as Brit Tzedek v'Shalom and Jewish Voice for Peace. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] j street aipac and 4 more is a 6pack

not all jews agree on everything except maybe israels existance security and the holocaust.It shows the world that jews and israels have internal debate discussion and dont have a singlemind. Jews are openminded nonracist. Maybe more pacs will start in europe or in south america. Who knows? If israel continues as a leading technological country.maybe 1 day americans will lobby israeli politicians to help the states get what it needs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Murcia fluent (talk • contribs) 09:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should the video be linked from the article?

There is this video released by J Street:
