Anyone paying even partial attention realized a decade or so ago the New Israel Fund was bad, bad news and that the then new One Israel Fund is very, very good.
If so many everyday people could see for themselves without anyone having to inform them that the New Israel Fund was supporting Israel’s worst sworn enemies, why couldn’t the big shots of Federation and their paid staffs not? Is it because the “progressives” hired them and pay their salaries or were they all just plain dangerously naive and stupid? Were they conditioned to salivate at the cynically created brochures and promos that used the phrase “social justice”?
The terribly naive liberal rabbis with blinders on have been a big part of this problem. The rabbinical school faculty have been turning out enemies of their own people. It has just gotten worse and worse. They convinced themselves that giving away the store and the safety of one’s people would make Islamists love them and the flowers would bloom and everyone would get along just fine. They regularly used propaganda phrases, such as “Social Justice,” through what they were actually doing was preventing social justice.
The rabbis of the more traditional congregations don’t generally speak up, so that well-meaning, but foolish people follow the high profile Pied Pipers.
J-Street, which evidence shows to be a front group started by Israel’s enemies and launched just as Obama was launched, also has taken in the same smug and naively dangerous crowd as the New Israel Fund.
Understood. Soros type funding to try to destroy the Jews. A recent article:

Jerusalem needs to kick NIF and similarly seditious enemy agents out ASAP
