A fairly lengthy piece in Haaretz on Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's giving up his American citizenship and the Embassy's decision to snub J Street, the new dovish Israeli lobbying group seeking to offer a different approach than AIPAC. Some of us remember when Yitzhak Rabin (privately, though it promptly leaked) accused AIPAC of essentially representing Likud. Now that Likud is back in power, J Street is ignored by Israel's Embassy.
A reminder that 1) not all Israelis are a cheering section for the present government and 2) Haaretz can write things that the Washington Post would be lambasted for.
