After J Street announced its opposition to the Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations, the leaders of the leftist pro-Israel group recently launched a new campaign lobbying members of Congress to support a new Congressional letter urging President Barack Obama to ensure that the U.S. will not cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority.

The letter to Obama was initiated by Representatives David Price (D-NC) and Peter Welch (D-VT), in which they express their concern about recent proposals to cut assistance to the Palestinian Authority, saying that such a step “would diminish prospects for peace and regional stability in the Middle East".

cut them off...NOW

As long as they have the backing (Palestine) of this White House no money will be cut.

So J Street is in favor of financing both sides of an armed conflict.

How screwed up is that?

Aid to PA = shakedown $
