That's surely wrong.  It's obvious to the world "which injustice is greater or 
came first."  The attempt to equalize the crimes is disingenuous at best.

So is the suggestion that the violence may be "out of control": it is entirely 
within the control of the US and Israel.

And so is the suggestion in the next lines that the US is "wait[ing] ... before 
intervening ... as they did in the Israel-Lebanon crisis of 2006."  In both 
cases the US was actively "intervening" and very much in control of the 
continuous Israeli crimes.

J Street here tips its propaganda hand.  --CGE
