“At times we haven’t paid sufficient attention to the music,” said J Street’s founder and president, Jeremy Ben-Ami. “Our lyrics are correct, our policies and positions are in line with majority views in our community, but we’ve come on slightly too edgy, too ready to hit away at people we don’t agree with. That rough edge hasn’t been helpful.”
It's not a question of 'tonality' but of political tonsillitis: swollen egos, tender necks, soreness, making it difficult for others to swallow their policies, causing us headaches, giving Jews a fever and chills and major congestions of rational thinking. In their acute actions, J Street has sent bad breath and and drooling.
I don't like employing comparisons that might lead one to think of bacteria and viruses due to historical throwbacks but if Ben-Ami thinks it is just a situation of fine-tuning his tones, the probelm is deeper and might call for radical procedures.
