The below article in Jewish Ideas Daily shows the fraudulent front that is J Street, a recently-formed organization that calls itself, "pro-Israel-pro-peace". This organization was formed as a leftist counterpoint to AIPAC. In reality, the organization is comprised of left-wing Jews who do NOT support the state of Israel. J Street takes the pro-Palestinian position on virtually every point.
In this article, we learn the role left-wing financier George Soros has played in funding J Street-even as the organization denied it. We also learn that a co-founder, Daniel Levy, doesn't even believe Israel has a justification to exist.
Also keep in mind that President Obama's pick to head up a State Department office on anti-Semitism is none other than Hannah Rosenthal, a J Street official, who began her duties by going to Israel and publicly criticizing Israel's ambassador to the US, Michael Oren for declining to meet with J Street.

So what?
So the point is that J Street lies about its agenda, that's what.
I don't see any lies. You have made out a clear case that the Jews who belong to J Street have a different political viewpoint than the Jews you like to associate with.
I am reminded of the time I mistakenly understood an orthodox rabbi to have told me that Reform and Conservative Jews are not Jewish. He clarified, no, I didn't say they're not Jewish, I said they're not practicing Judaism.
So, J Street are what they are, and they say what they say, and you find it abhorrent. They don't meet the Fouse/Findalis Test for Jewish Political Correctness.
Well, anyone running for office who says the word "bipartisan" too many times is practicing that kind of deception.
If they haven't called for the destruction of Israel as a nation, then they can legitimately claim to be "pro-Israel" but opposed to its current government and policies. You happen to like Bibi, but just because some southern California Methodist likes Bibi, and voters in Israel gave him a plurality, doesn't mean every Jew in America has to say "my Bibi, right or wrong" to be "pro-Israel."
Siarlys,
A co-founder of J Street, Daniel Levy is on record stating that Israel has no foundation to exist. It is not a questiuon of not being , "Israel-right or wrong". They consistently take the pro-palestinian point of view.
A co-founder? What does the organization's charter say?
An endorsed candidate of the Republican Party says the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is unconstitutional. Another says social security is dead. Are these the official positions of the Republican Party? If another Republican candidate disagrees, has the party committed fraud?
Siarlys,
With all due credit to LBJ, he could not have gotten the Civil Rights Act passed without the help of the Republican Party in 1964.
True Gary, true indeed. Those pushing for a Civil Rights Act and those most desperate to obstruct it were BOTH in the Democratic Party! The Republicans who voted for it held the balance. That makes it all the more ironic that today, the heirs (politically, and in many cases biologically) of the die-hard opponents in the Democratic Party of 1964, are now the dominant presence in the Republican Party of 2010!
So, back to my original question...
