Who we are
We fight smears on President Obama’s sensible approach to the Middle East with the facts. We believe that a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the only way to secure Israel as a Jewish, democratic homeland. We are pro-Israel, pro-peace, and pro-truth.
Obama Smear Busters is a project of J Street, the political voice of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement, and the Jewish Alliance for Change.
J Street was founded to promote meaningful American leadership to end the Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts peacefully and diplomatically. We support a new direction for American policy in the Middle East and a broad public and policy debate about the U.S. role in the region.
J Street represents Americans, primarily but not exclusively Jewish, who support Israel and its desire for security as the Jewish homeland, as well as the right of the Palestinians to a sovereign state of their own – two states living side-by-side in peace and security. We believe ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is in the best interests of Israel, the United States, the Palestinians, and the region as a whole.
J Street supports diplomatic solutions over military ones, including in Iran; multilateral over unilateral approaches to conflict resolution; and dialogue over confrontation with a wide range of countries and actors when conflicts do arise.

Obama waging campaign to weaken Israel’s security? That’s a lie.
Nasty rumors are yet again making their way into inboxes around the country, claiming that President Obama is trying to undermine Israel’s security and discredit its international standing by revoking Israel’s landing rights at US military bases around the Middle East and snubbing Prime Minister Netanyahu during their March 2010 meeting. That’s an outright lie.
