I agree with you on Hagel not being anti-semitic and their reasons for being ok with Kerry and not Hagel seem rather weak, when they say they are not that far apart.

I agree that issues such as gays in the military and the need to end the culture where rape happens too often are very important, that Hagel's poor positions on those issues ARE very important. I get why there are many outraged LGBT people (and others) who are absolutely against him because of this.

I agree that J Street is very in line with JK's positions.
