[David Green]

Surprise surprise. Never an unpredictable moment when it comes to the liberal Jewish "peace" movement.

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
