Soros-backed J Street mounts all-out crusade against Netanyahu’s speech to Congress

Special to WorldTribune.com

By Fred Fleitz

The J Street lobbying group is running a media campaign opposing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 3 speech to the U.S. Congress.

J Street claims to be “the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans” but is seen by its critics as a far-left, intolerant lobbying group funded by George Soros, that in no way represents American Jews and friends of Israel.


Netanyahu’s speech comes as the United States and other world powers are trying to finalize a “framework” agreement with Iran on its nuclear program by the end of March.

Because the Obama administration has ignored strong opposition to the nuclear talks by a majority in the U.S. Congress and the Israeli government, Netanyahu’s decision to accept an invitation to speak to Congress on this issue was highly relevant.

The Anti-Defamation League has called J Street’s campaign against Netanyahu’s speech to Congress “inflammatory and repugnant.” J Street has publicized its widely-criticized poll indicating most American Jews support President Obama’s nuclear diplomacy with Iran and that Netanyahu’s policies are harming U.S.-Israel relations.

J Street’s far-left extremism and hypocrisy have been decried by Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard lawyer and Democrat.

Dershowitz wrote in Haaretz last March that while J Street is demanding that pro-Israel organizations be open to speakers who favor opposing views, including those who oppose Palestinian recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, it will not allow speakers like Dershowitz, who oppose J Street’s policies on Iran and other security matters, to speak to its conferences.

According to Dershowitz, J Street does invite speakers who oppose Israel’s right to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

The Center for Security Policy has a special interest in J Street because its board of directors is headed by Morton Halperin, a former head of the ACLU who President Bill Clinton unsuccessfully tried to install as a Defense Department Under Secretary in 1993.

The Center for Security Policy played a key role in defeating Halperin’s nomination because of his far-left views and ties to CIA turncoat Phillip Agee.

So when you see J Street’s next ad blasting Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, consider the source.
