Dems, J Street anti-Israel

From Richard Baehr
Every day it becomes harder for Democrats or liberals who claim to love Israel and support a strong U.S, Israel relationship to defend the actions of members of their Congressional delegation, who now openly side with Israel's enemies. It is telling that the NJDC now chooses to honor David Axelrod, who is Jewish, but has been conspicuously absent from pro-Israel, or Jewish community endeavours in his long professional career. But Axelrod was part of the White House team, along with Rahm Emanuel, who encouraged President Obama to go public with his pressure campaign against Israel over settlements, a policy that resulted only in stiffening Palestinian resolve not to deal with Israel, and instead let Obama deliver the goods to the Palestinians.

J-Street has big problems with Christians who support Israel, but find it easy to get along with Christian groups who trash Israel. Let us not forget that Barack Obama is the one who brought J-Street into the inner sanctum of the Whie House as one of the key Jewish groups who deserved to be heard, and has appointed members of its leadership to White House and ambassadorial jobs. He has legitimized a far left group whose sole advocacy is to blame Israel, and get the U.S. government to pressure Israel : http://tinyurl.com/yerrn6j
It is past time for the official Jewish organizational world to sever ties to J-Street , as they have done with groups like Not in My Name, or Students for Justice in Palestine.
For the record, there are today and there have always been pro-Israel and Judaeophile Democrats. One of them was LBJ: http://tinyurl.com/ygkfj59
