But they emphasize that J Street was rejected not by the “Left or Right” or a “right-wing minority” but by the overwhelming voting consensus of the 50-member organization. Moreover, the sources say, J Street supporters were in a smaller minority than initially apparent because just two voting blocs controlled 8 of the 17 yes votes.Read the whole thing.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

To pick only the reform and conservative to disdain is the small view. J Street is an adjunct of the Obama/Clinton Progressive Democrat Wrecking Crew. I'm more concerned about the rest of the 50 (almost every one?) who are all in with J Street in standing with the lawless Dems in instituting oppression in America to supplant the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights.
