Yeah, some of the assumptions in that old way of doing things were deeply problematic.
For example, the idea that we couldn't touch security assistance for Israel and we need to give them a blank check because if we start to enforce or threaten or
just basically say, forget even threaten or leverage.

If you're not behaving in a way that is consistent with our policy and our interests and our laws, we're just not going to give you these weapons and not sell you these weapons, which is really what my position is now and where J Street is and has been for a long time.
We were advocating last week for 40 senators to vote against these kinds of weapons.
I'm not arguing for that the liberal Zionist old position of let Israel do whatever it wants and let's just work this out, right?
We can use leverage.
We do have leverage.

that then brought Netanyahu to power.

They're thriving off, building off each other.
