The Middle East Media Sampler 3/7/2012: J-Street vs AIPAC

From DG:

1) AIPAC vs. J-Street

J-Street, the "pro-Israel, pro-peace" organization praised President Obama's speech at AIPAC:

We commend President Obama’s sensible approach to this urgent problem outlined in his speech to AIPAC (March 4) and in his interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic (March 2) – a commitment to continued international economic pressure and an open offer to return to the diplomatic table if Iran is willing to negotiate verifiable assurances that it is not seeking nuclear weapons.
