Surprise! Nazi Supporter George Soros Funding Islamist Run “Jewish” Group Dedicated to Destroying Israel

From Red Alerts (Thanks to Damien):

Supposed pro-Israel and pro-peace group J-Street has long been notorious for supporting positions that would kill Jews. Anyone who’s ever read one of their position statements, like this one on the Gaza war that literally called for Israel to stop defending itself against rocket attacks, could plainly see the group’s policies were designed to help Islamists destroy the Jewish state. Many thought J-Street was simply a naive group of liberals, but it has now been proven that they are simply another Soros funded attack on decency:

A former Israeli diplomat has asserted that J Street has been connected to Qatar through the U.S. public relations firm of Fenton Communications.

Lenny Ben-David, a former diplomat and now consultant, said J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami, a senior vice president at Fenton until the lobby’s establishment in 2008, could have been involved in a March 2009 project by Qatar to undermine support for Israel in the United States

The Fenton contract with Qatar was disclosed as J Street, regarded as close to the administration of President Barack Obama, was preparing its first annual conference, said to include 150 members of Congress. The lobby failed to ensure the attendance of Israel’s ambassador in Washington, Michael Oren.

“In early 2009, Fenton signed contracts with a Qatari foundation to lead an 18-month long anti-Israel campaign in the United States with a special focus on campuses,” Ben-David said in an open letter to Ben-Ami.

“Did you sever your ties with Fenton when you began J Street? Do you retain any role or holdings in Fenton today? Did you play any role in introducing Fenton to the Qatari agents or play any role in facilitating the contract? Were you aware of the negotiations or the contract signed on March 12, 2009?”

Ben-David said J Street’s 160-member advisory board included those listed as foreign agents for Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Middle East Newsline reported. His letter also cited J Street’s ties with U.S. billionaire George Soros, said to have long sought to undermine the traditional pro-Israel lobby in Washington.

“So, it appears that Soros has created an organization that competes with AIPAC, calls for inclusion of Hamas, and opposes sanctions against Iran,” Ben-David said. “His people sit on J Street’s board, and his other offspring from the New America Foundation and the National Iranian American Council, work in lockstep.”

Pastorius,

I'm glad you thought this was important enough to post here. You seem to agree with most of the stuff I send you. I wonder if this will get anyone to stop supporting J-Street.

You know, frankly, I don't know much about J-Street.

All I know is that Michael indicated to me that it is made up of the left-wing of AIPAC, which had, itself, been going leftward the part few years.

Pastorius,

I can bet that with little you do know about them, you already don't like them. I don't know much about them either, but this alone makes them sound pretty bad, does it not?

Yep.
