J Street tries to defend selling Iran deal for Obama
inn ^ | 5/2/16 | staff

Posted on 05/22/2016 9:20:01 AM PDT by Nachum

The leftist American Jewish group J Street on Sunday issued a response to the revelation that it received more than half a million dollars to advocate for the Obama administration's controversial nuclear deal with Iran.

The expose, revealed by Associated Press, noted that the Ploughshares Fund was named in an explosive New York Times profile of Obama aid Ben Rhodes, in which the President's chief propagandist listed the central groups responsible for creating an "echo chamber" in order to promote the deal. J Street was listed as receiving $576,000 to sell the deal, in a sum greater than that of any other group.

In response, the group that claims to be "pro-Israel and pro-peace" did not deny that it received the money to sell President Barack Obama's deal with Iran.

In a statement it said that it "acted in order to advance the nuclear deal with Iran out of faith that it was an important deal, that it had a great contribution also to the security of Israel."

"(This) faith is shared by us as well as many sources, both in the American government and in the Israeli security establishment, as well as among the Jewish public in the US, most of whom supported the nuclear deal."

The statement comes despite that fact that Israel's government fiercely opposed the deal, warning repeatedly that it paved Iran's way to a nuclear arsenal either by allowing it to cheat the deal which forbids international inspectors from checking Iran's covert nuclear facilities such as Parchin, or else by waiting for the limitations of the deal to expire in 15 years.

Liberal Jewish group doesn't deny receiving $576,000 from Obama to push nuclear deal, but claims it did so for 'security of Israel.'

Fake Jews.

My few Conservative Jewish friends are well aware of J Street’s treachery. Unfortunately, my Liberal Jewish friends are totally supportive of whatever the Obama Admin does. For Liberal Jews, Leftism/Socialism (perhaps even Communism) is their religion these days.

The only “outrage” is that ANY Jews still believe this is a pro-Israel group, and keep allowing their members to speak at synagogues and Jewish community centers.

These dumb J Street Jews are just like all the rest of the libs. They are too stupid to see the enemy right in front of them and accuse the rest of us, who do see the enemy, of paranoia and hate.

Traitors to America
Traitors to the Jewish people, too
Should be prosecuted and, upon conviction, imprisoned.
That will at least cleanse a bit of WashingtonDC’s CORRUPT TRAITOROUS Establishment. Soroz, as their key backer, should be given the lowest cell in the Inferno!

Just another example of the utter corruption in the White House and beyond. This same group (Ploughshares) also pumped money into NRP and other outlets for bought stories, plain and simple. This is just one story, but I’m quite sure it happens every single day of the week—cash spread around for favors, and the favors include positive press coverage, manipulation of public opinion, and outright lying.

All of these far left Jews need to be deported to Israel so real Jews can teach them that what is going on over there is not a political game. Low life, cowardly democrat ***kissers.

Doesn’t it mention in the Holy Bible, to “beware of those who say they are Jews, but are not, for they are the descendants of their father, Satan and they do his work”? ...a very close paraphrasing of the quote in Matthew?

So... a group of Jews acted as enablers for elements in Washington and Teheran who wanted to see a nuclear-armed Iran destroy Israel.

This is worse than the kapos at Nazi concentration camps - at least the kapos were under duress.

The money described here ($576,000) did not come from Obama or the Federal Government. It came from an org called the Ploughshares Fund which pushes the Obama line

The liberal Jewish group, which bills itself as "pro-Israel and pro-peace" but which critics say takes solely anti-Israel stances, was paid the money by the White House's main surrogate organization for selling the deal.

The Ploughshares Fund was named in an explosive New York Times profile of Obama aid Ben Rhodes

My guess is it is funded by wealthy libs like Soros with no gov't funding or a minimum. There are billions and billions floating around in loony left NGOs and "charities"
