The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the United States, called on Jewish community groups to boycott left-wing J Street because of its support for an arms embargo against Israel.
J Street, which was funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros and lied for years, often opposes the Israeli government in Congress, despite claiming to be pro-Israel and pro-peace. I am taking a position to do so.
Recently J Street supported Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vermont) attempt to limit certain weapons from Israel has failed.
ZOA Chairman Mort Klein said in a statement on Wednesday:
Blocking arms sales to Israel in the midst of an existential war and rising anti-Semitism means more Jews will die. It is truly treasonous and anti-Semitic for Jewish organizations to block the sale of these weapons. But shamefully, extremist groups J Street, Americans for Peace Now (APN), Trua, Progressive Israel Partners (PPI), and If Not Now have blocked $20 billion in US arms sales to Israel. Supported and lobbied for three joint Senate resolutions of disapproval. , sponsored by Israel-hating Sens. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Peter Welch (D-VT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Brian. Schatz (D-HI). (SJ Res. 111 (Tank Interdiction), 113 (Mortar), and 115 (JDAM Precision Munition).
Just as horrifying, J Street director Jeremy Ben-Ami falsely declared that it was “reasonable” for the anti-Semitic ICC to claim that Israel was “deliberately violating international law.” That's what I did. J Street incorrectly stated that Israel “uses starvation as a means of war and other horrific crimes against humanity.” J Street went on to say that Israel is “refusing aid to Arab civilians and Israeli leaders are deliberately pursuing further illegal activities.” J Street has now revealed that it is not “pro-Israel, pro-peace” as it claims, but anti-Israel and supports many enemies of Israel and the Jewish people.
ZOA urges the JCRC and Hillel to immediately remove these organizations hostile to Israel, including J Street and APN, from their official affiliations. We also urge the Council of Presidents to remove APN from its membership. Additionally, all rabbis and cantors on J Street's board and advisory boards should resign in protest of endangering Israel and the Jewish people.
As Breitbart News recently reported, J Street is raising money against what it calls the “nightmare scenario” of President Donald Trump retaking office while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office in Israel. .
