I teased J-Street and Americans for Peace Now a while back for their Horshack-like glee at having signed up 32 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives for a resolution urging "aggressive" U.S. engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. (Although I was impressed that a quarter of the 32 co-sponsors were Of the Tribe.) I pretty much said "don’t call me until you get to 100."
Well, they’ve topped 100 – 101, to be exact. And added another Jewish member – Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.) – who is very much of the pro-Israel mainstream. And at a time that an Israeli government that wants to slow-pedal the peace process has just been installed.
The break is heavily Democratic – 96 to five – but hey, it’s the majority party.
Anyway, after the jump, the full list of co-sponsors. Lots of pro-Israel stalwarts (at a glance, I’m seeing Charlie Rangel, Frank Pallone, Donald Payne) – this is not the usual suspects.
