Are US taxpayers being scammed by foreign aid “good cop, bad cop” money grabs?
Soros has expressed outright hostility to Israel and Zionism time and time again. It’s no secret. So to discover Soros, is in fact one of the largest donors to one of the Israeli lobbies-—the J Street lobby-—— is a revelation.
J Street has suggested, time and time again, that Soros was not a supporter. But Eli Lake was quoted in in the Atlantic WRT Soros and his family giving J Street $750,000 to J Street over a one year period.
The scandal grows from a decision by Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder and president of J Street, to cover-up, over a long period of time, something he knew to be true: That George Soros, the billionaire investor and avowed of Israel, provided J Street with almost $750,000 in funding.
James Besser, at The New York Jewish Week, frames the impact of this cover-up in stark and simple terms: There’s no way this isn’t going to make the politicians supported by J Street and those who may be considering accepting its endorsement incredibly nervous. Instead of providing protection for the politicians they supported, J Street essentially hung them out to dry by lying about their connection to the controversial moneyman Soros.
An Atlantic reporter, Chris Good, was one of the journalists lied to by J Street; he ripped the organization a new one once he learned he was the target of J Street’s disinformation campaign.
News of the Soros donation, first brought to light by Eli Lake, an in-demand ace reporter, was accompanied by disclosures about a larger, and stranger, donation, by a resident of Hong Kong. J Street supporters on Capitol Hill are worried that the organization is using foreign money to provide money to American political candidates, and to support Israeli funding in US legislation.
