Just a week-and-a-half before the massacre in Pittsburgh….Ben-Ami and the senior J Street leadership met with and expressed support for the leaders of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah. Among those they met was the PA’s Minister of Civil Affairs, Hussein al-Sheikh.
As Stephen Flatow reported, before assuming his current position, al-Sheikh was a senior terror commander for the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade of Fatah, the PA’s ruling faction, headed by Mahmoud Abbas. In the framework of his duties, al-Sheikh paid for and provided arms to terrorists who used the money and the arms he provided to murder and maim Jews – including American Jews.
The Palestinian Authority et al seek to obliterate Israel. That anyone who claims to support Israel’s right to exist and oppose anti-Semitism could befriend such people is bizarre and revealing.
“Caroline Glick: J Street, NIF Accused Trump of Antisemitism While Boosting Antisemitic Terrorists,” by Caroline Glick, Breitbart, November 9, 2018:
It has been unsettling these past two weeks watching American Jewish leftist activists and organizations accuse President Donald Trump of responsibility for the antisemitic massacre of 11 elderly Jews at prayer at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27.
The problem is not simply that the likes of J Street and the New Israel Fund fail to provide any proof of their allegations. And it is worse than the fact that in accusing the president of responsibility for the most lethal antisemitic attack on U.S. soil in history, they seek to politicize Judaism and transform it into a political position.
The truly unsettling aspect of some of these groups’ slanders of President Trump is that they themselves work to legitimize and advance the fortunes of antisemitic terrorists who murder Jews.
J Street, for instance has been a leading voice accusing Trump of responsibility for the massacre in Pittsburgh. Two days after the attack, J Street, which bills itself as “pro-Israel and pro-peace,” sent out an email about the event to its supporters. J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami opened the letter with a nice call to “come together in support of the victims, their loved ones, the congregation and the entire city of Pittsburgh,” and “to grieve and comfort one another, standing together in solidarity.”
But then he turned to the real business at hand. Ben-Ami insisted that the gunman, Robert Bowers, was “motivated in part” by “by anti-immigrant, antisemitic thought that has been spread not only by far-right groups, but by President Trump and some of his allies in the Republican party.”
Ben-Ami provided no evidence for his incendiary claim. And he ignored the fact that Bowers had expressed hatred for Trump specifically due to the President’s friendship and support for the Jewish people and Israel.
Having made his unsupported accusation, Ben-Ami proceeded to make a pitch for donations for J Street and for Democratic candidates supported by J Street.
Whereas there is no evidence that Trump has incited or empowered or otherwise engaged in actions that provided any support for Bowers, there is direct evidence that Ben-Ami and his organization have tolerated antisemitic mass murderers.
Just a week-and-a-half before the massacre in Pittsburgh, on October 17, Ben-Ami and the senior J Street leadership met with and expressed support for the leaders of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah. Among those they met was the PA’s Minister of Civil Affairs, Hussein al-Sheikh.
As Stephen Flatow reported, before assuming his current position, al-Sheikh was a senior terror commander for the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade of Fatah, the PA’s ruling faction, headed by Mahmoud Abbas. In the framework of his duties, al-Sheikh paid for and provided arms to terrorists who used the money and the arms he provided to murder and maim Jews – including American Jews…..

I wonder if the time has come to clap SOROS in irons?
Too much of the chaos that we are seeing these days is attributable to his promotion and financing. SPLC, ANTIFA, J-Street, Media Matters and over 100 other subversive organizations are his creations.
Mac-101 says
Exactly. Soros, his sons and his NGO heads should be indicted as Financial, Domestic and International Terrorist. His little color revolutions have resulted in at least a 100,000 murdered. Not bad for a teenage NAZI Apprentice. His Nazi handlers would be proud, especially Francois Genoud! Operation Odessa was real!
Brian hoff says
Where is your proof hear say not allow.
gravenimage says
I see that “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–is once again trying to control what Infidels are allowed to say.
He has said before that when Muslims are in the majority in the United States that they can vote out the Constitution.
Mac-101 says
It’s everywhere. IT is well documented that Soro’s Color Revolutions brought down Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and THEY are still workin on Syria. Throw in the Ukraine and I’d say 100 thousand is most likely correct.
.
I the USA his money can be traced to most violent radical organizations and his financial terrorism is well documented with his grossest work is the financial destruction of Malaysia and England’s pound!
WPM says
You have the most pro Israel and pro Jewish president in years. Where can J street or anyone else point to any anti -Semitic remarks or policy of president Trump. There are plenty of remarks, policies , and outright terrorist activity linked to the ” Palestinian Government” .A Nazi who in his online remarks stated he hated Trump ,because of Trumps love and support of Jews ,he felt the Jews were given too much power in the Trump administration .He went out and killed Jews because of his hated of Jews ,not because of anything Trump said or did. So in the twisted logic of J street too much support for Israel ,being too aggressive in not blindly supporting the “Palestinian elected for life leaders” of the tin pot republic of Terrorstian will get Jews kill in America. The should get together with the Pope and sign an appeasement statement ,that they do not want to be defended against racist killers because it might be seen as political incorrect .Better to be polite, quiet ,and docile when the wolf is at the door then defend your people , your religion , your way of life .Trump is rude, crude, and aggressive ,sometime we need leaders who preach the truth in that manner to defend ourselves against Nazis, and Islam .Appeasing bullies only encourages their activities .I state this as a Christian that Israel is our only true friend in the middle east and should be supported 100 percent by America .

J Street and New Israel Fund boost jihadists while calling Trump anti-Semitic
…………………..
Insane projection.
Roland Tours says
As a Jewish Democrat, I think that contributors to J Street and New Israel Fund are either dangerously deluded or they are hard-core leftists with anti-Zionist animus and Communist roots. Whenever a politician in my state, usually a Democrat, gets an endorsement from J Street, I see that as a fairly reliable red flag about the politician. I then point out, where I’m not censored, that the J Street’s endorsement is problematic and does not represent the entire Jewish community. George Soros is antI-semitic and anti-Israel. He supports J Street and other anti-Israel NGO’s. It’s rather audacious of him and his children to claim that he is a victim of anti-semitism when he is criticized. .
Mac-101 says
SIr, how can you be a Jewish Democrat? Are the Democrats NOT workin to destroy Israel since Jimmy Carter. Did Bill Clinton NOT destroy Serbia to create an Islamic enclave in Europe which started this invasion? Did not da HIldeBeast receive her main counsel and satisfaction from da Sista of da Muslim Brotherhood? Did she NOT work with Obama and Soros to pull off the Color Revolutions to destabilize the ME? Did not Obama’s policies enabled Islamic Radicals around the world and assisted Iran in it’s Nuke development so they can destroy Israel? Do you want Israel destroyed?
jewdog says
Our daughter went to Israel on a program with the New Israel Fund. She was very offended by their efforts to indoctrinate the students with left-wing propaganda. I was worried about sending her on that program, but she was able to enjoy the benefits while resisting the brainwashing.
So many Jews are suckers for anti-racism hucksters, having been the victims of prejudice, and the jihadis know just how to play them like a fiddle.
Yitz says
The only people worse than nonjewish antisemites are self hating jews.throughoutbhistory they have caused more destruction to the jews than all others.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Ah, those silly self-haters!
