J Street Whitewashes Palestinian Terrorism to Smear Pro-Israel Groups

J Street finally showed where it really stands on Israel in particular and terroristic violence in general, and it also supported terrorism by denying the role of Palestinian society in promoting it. Majority of Jewish Americans Support J Street’s Views, Not ECI’s says,

“The American Jewish community has a choice politically in 2012 and in the years ahead.

Save us some time, J Street, and just put on your Obama for President campaign buttons while chanting "Yes We Can!"

There’s a part of our community – represented by the Emergency Committee for Israel – whose supporters led the charge to war in Iraq, who ally with the Christian Zionist movement, and who affiliate with the Tea Party.

This is clearly propaganda whose purpose is to whip up animosity between Jews and Christians, and undermine Christian support for a fellow Judeo-Christian democracy. J Street goes on to reward the Palestinians' ongoing litany of terroristic violence by calling for a two-state solution and an end to settlement expansion.

The “J” stands for jackass. They are a front for Soros, one of the most repulsive men in the world. What is wrong with the Tea Party? Nothing! Christian Zionists? The best friends the Jews could have (and I am speaking as a Jew). In fact, unlike the BOZOS of J Street, they recognize that Israel is not some “piece of real estate” but a holy place.

Thank you for the tip: http://jstreet.org/blog/explanation-of-george-soros-j-street-funding/

George Soros and his family decided to donate to J Street in the fall of 2008, well after our launch and two years after he publicly stated that it would not be helpful for him to assist in getting the effort off the ground. The family contributed an average of $250,000 per year over the last three years (2008-2010) and their support amounts to just over 7 percent of the total funds raised by the J Street family of organizations. I accept responsibility personally for being less than clear about Mr. Soros’ support once he did become a donor. I said Mr. Soros did not help launch J Street or provide its initial funding, and that is true. I also said we would be happy to take his support. But I did not go the extra step to add that he did in fact start providing support in the fall of 2008, six months after our launch. J Street does not reveal the names of donors to its 501(c)(4) corporation or the amounts of their contributions. Neither do nearly all such entities in the United States. The law guarantees donors their privacy and confidentiality. Nevertheless, my answers regarding Mr. Soros were misleading. I deeply and genuinely apologize for that and for any distraction from J Street’s important work created by my actions and decisions.
