"I was one of the many journalists who asked the question and received in return something significantly less than the truth," Mr. Besser wrote. OK, it was a lie."
Let's not get the wrong impression about Besser's reaction to this. It's not that Besser is particularly teed off at Soros or J Street. It's just that Besser is concerned that J Street's image, one that Besser and the rest of his cohorts on the Jewish left have been doing their best to build up in the last 2 to 3 years, will be tarnished.
Here is Besser in his own words:
"I don't happen to think that Soros in the evil incarnate; his philanthropy has done a huge amount of good in the world. He has become a favorite whipping boy for the right, and a lot of that has seeped into the general political culture.
"I don't think he's anti-Israel, either - but there's little question his views on Israel are outside the mainstream that J Street claims to represent."
Go f yourself and die, may your name be blotted out. You lied lied lied lied. Drop dead creep. Your last name is very Jewish but you need to see a psychiatrist because all you do at J Street is betray the Jewish homeland.
The commie Soros we know about.
But what’s the background on the “single donor in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, named Consolacion Esdicul”?
Very odd.
so it was no surprise when White House visitor logs had J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami as a frequent visitor

A reader (see comments) located what he believes to be Ediscul’s Facebook profile.
The mysterious large donor, Consolacion Esdicul, is better known as “Connie Esdicul” and even has a Facebook page. She appears to be a middle-aged woman who lives in the wealthy Happy Valley area of Hong Kong.
Ms.Esdicul has some unknown relationship with the New York hedge fund Black Rock and represented them at a charity event in HK. She presented a donation for Quality Camp to actor, Jackie Chan, from the Black Rock Advantage Fund in HK.
Black Rock has close ties to Soros ever since one of its founders, Keith Anderson, was appointed Chief Investment Officer of Soros Fund Management 2 years ago.

Since J Street’s founding, Jeremy Ben-Ami has repeatedly lied about his organization’s dependence on Israel’s super-critic George Soros. Lake revealed that J Street’s US tax records prove that Soros and his family are major contributors.
J Street’s tax form 990 for the year ending in June 2009 showed that Soros contributed $145,000, daughter Andrea Soros gave $50,000 and son Jonathan an additional $50,000. That’s a significant percentage of J Street’s budget in its first years.
The IRS forms also list J Street’s five officers and directors – something J Street never before publicized. For good reason. The fifth listed is Mort Halperin, a veteran Washington foreign policy hand who also serves as senior adviser at Soros’ Open Society Institute. In October 2009, at the height of congressional condemnation of the Goldstone Report, Judge Richard Goldstone sent a letter to members of Congress defending his criticism of Israel. One enterprising reporter checked the document’s “properties” and discovered the real author: Mort Halperin.
BEYOND THE Soros contributions to J Street, equally troubling is a huge $811,697 contribution from a “Consolacion Esdicul” from Hong Kong. It appears that Consolacion is “Connie” Esdicul, who Google reveals is a member of the Hong Kong Rotary Club, living in the Happy Valley section of Hong Kong. But little is known about the woman. J Street claims she was solicited by Bill Benter, “a prominent J Street supporter from Pittsburgh.”
Why would a Hong Kong individual contribute as much as onehalf of J Street’s budget? Actually, Esdicul’s contribution is in line with J Street’s corrupt taking of money from pro-Saudi activists, Arab- American leaders, Muslim activists, State Department Arabists, a Palestinian billionaire and even a Turkish American who helped produce the anti-American and anti-Semitic film Valley of the Wolves.
According to the US Federal Election Commission, the largest contribution to J Street’s Political Action Committee is $36,000 from a Latin teacher in Teton Village, Wyoming named Bob Morris. How do you say “strange” in Latin? With such contributions, it’s easy to understand how J Street’s operation on Capitol Hill grew exponentially in the past 12 months.
