This piece is online now, here. It was really fascinating to work on-- just as it has been really interesting to work with Dine on the US-Syria Working Group, as is mentioned in the article.

Th Nation has two linked pieces-- both by Phil Weiss and Adam Horowitz: American Jews Rethink Israel, and Israel vs. Human Rights.

Great work, Phil and Adam! I'm proud to be up there with you!

Thank you Helena for this report.... Illuminating; I had no idea. I seem to remember some of Dine's past boasts, about being head of the most powerful lobby in America. (which of course provided much fodder for the critics) And now a conversion of sorts on the road to Damascus? Enough to make me believe in miracles again. :-}
