One he loves, one he doesn't.

The "J Street" group presents itself as an advocate of Jewish issues but it's something completely different. Its words hail the Arab Spring, advocate relations with the Muslim Brotherhood, criticize the US for what it terms Islamophobia, and urge Jews to antagonize each other:

, "J Street: A dead end," American Thinker, Adrienne A. Price

"
Unlike most Jewish organizations which were birthed with grassroots support, J Street came to American communities already packaged with a board, a statement of purpose, and funding....
Sunday night, March 6, Daniel Levy, a J Street Advisory Board member and Director at the New America Foundation, appeared in a synagogue in Westchester on a panel with former Presidential Spokesman Ari Fleisher, and Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-Westchester), moderated by the Jewish Week's Gary Rosenblatt....
  • Mr. Levy opened by remarking on the uprisings now occurring in Arab countries as good news and predicted they will result in governments that will be a counter-balance to Iran and al Qaeda.
He said the revolutions are also good because they will allow us to deal with our Islamophobia here in the US. Concerning Israeli peace agreements, he said that the Israeli peace with Egypt and Jordan were flawed because that peace was with the regimes' heads and not with the people. Of course, he never explained how the Israelis were supposed to make peace with the people of Egypt and Jordan. On the road to peace, he thought it was a good idea to meet with the Muslim Brotherhood. If you are confused at this point, I was also....He would like the US government and American Jews to force Israel out of its "comfort zone" in order to force a settlement. He envisions an Israel ultimately behind the 1967 borders with a divided Jerusalem. He would like to see Israel immediately resettle 100,000 Israelis currently living in Judea and Samaria....

After the panel, a women from the audience asked Mr. Levy to explain why mega-donor Consolacion Esdicul gave over $800,000 to J Street. It is hard to explain why that question elicited a screaming tirade from Mr. Levy, but it did. He did not answer the question.
  • So much for transparency.
Certainly J Street and Mr. Levy have the right to their opinions and to say whatever they want. J Street, however, has presented the Jewish community with a fight for its soul. Mr. Levy, promoting division in the community, asked audience members to marshal "Conservative and Reform" Jews into a coalition to support his vision and force Israel to comply....It is a significant question whether an organization willing to lobby in the US against the policy of the Israeli government with respect to security and willing to sanction Israel in the UN can become accepted as mainstream in the Jewish community."...

"They (J Street) are trying to divide Americans by dividing us on Israel. They make no apology for it."...

3/26/10, "Binyamin Netanyahu humiliated after Barack Obama 'dumped him for dinner'," UK Times Online Sunday, Whittell and Hider

"For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”."...
