   Richard, Nice work showing up the lies of SWU. I would add that their claim that Trita Parsi and the National Iranian American Council are the “unofficial lobby for the Iranian regime.” – which Barry Rubin circulated in a recent column they cite – is obscene, given that anyone who reads what NIAC puts out every day, for a long time, knows that they have been the American voice of the reformist movement.

   I would make one correction to your rebuttal though. You described Jimmy Carter as the president who “negotiated the only formal peace agreement Israel has ever signed with one of its former Arab enemies.” Israel signed a formal peace agreement with Jordan as well, which it fought in mutiple wars through 1967. Israel has two formal peace agreements with former enemies, not one!

   RE: “STAND-WITH-US LIES ABOUT J STREET”

   MY COMMENT: Mendacity is one of the traits that distinguish humans from lesser animals. “To lie is to be human.”

   DEDICATION: This comment is dedicated to ‘Big Daddy’ (sublimely played by Burl Ives) in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”.

   Harvey ‘Big Daddy’ Pollitt: “There ain’t nuthin’ more powerful than the smell of mendacity!”

   Margaret “Maggie” Pollitt: “Thank you for keeping still, for backing me up in my lie.”
   Brick Pollitt: “Maggie, we’re through with lies and liars in this house. Lock the door.”
