Seventy-four Democrats in the House of Representatives have joined the leftist J Street organization in supporting the Obama administration’s attempt to force Israel into making painful and possibly dangerous concessions to the Palestinian Authority.
“In our view, support for a two-state resolution is inseparable from such support for Israel, its special relationship with the United States, and its very survival as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people,” the letter asserted.
Seven Jewish members signed the letter, including Reps. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), Reps. Susan Davis (D-Calif.), Bob Filner (D-Calif.), Jared Polis (D-Colo.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also signed the letter.
J Street’s director of government affairs, Dylan Williams, noted that the signatories “are making clear that to be pro-Israel is to support active U.S. engagement in achieving a two-state solution.”
“If the U.S. Congress does not make a viable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a cornerstone of foreign policy in the region, then we are not truly helping Israel to face one its most critical challenges,” Williams continued, not mentioning that there are other possible solutions and that the two-state one might bring catastrophe upon Israel.
While J Street claims it is a “pro-Israel” organization, its policies have ranged from supporting the libelous Goldstone Report to opposing sanctions and military actions against Iran. The organization has provided a forum for radicals advocating boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel and has denied, despite evidence to the contrary, that it receives funding from George Soros, the multi-billionaire financier of radically left leaning organizations.
THIS ONLY BRINGS SHAME ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND PEOPLE
I AGREE INDEED THAT IT DOES BRING SHAME ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE WORD OF GOD-HE WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL
Most of ther democratic partyis spineless
Any Jews continuing to support Barack Obama and the Democratic Party are traitors to Israel! Remember the names of these traitors when it’s re-election time. They, too, will soon be running for their lives as anti-Sematism continues to escalate here as it is in Europe.
If the ‘Two State Solution’ was a solution for Israel, then Gaza would be peaceful and not seeking to kill innocent Israelis daily with their rockets and kidnapping IDF soldiers!! You can expect more of the same or even worse if you give God’s land away. Judea and Samaria belong to the Jews. Jerusalem is the undivided capitol of Israel. Anything else is insanity and suicide for the Jewish nation and the Jewish people.
