Not Anti-Semitic, Just Anti-Anti-Anti-Semitic
J Street, named for a byway that would be in Washington, D.C., were it not nonexistent, is a mostly Jewish anti-Israel group that claims to be a pro-Israel group. The Jerusalem Post reports that its latest effort is to oppose a congressional letter criticizing anti-Semitic incitement by Palestinian Arabs:

The letter to US President Obama, written by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-New Jersey) and Rep. Steve Austria (R-Ohio) in the wake of the Itamar murders, charges that “Palestinian incitement continues and there is almost no effort by them to promote coexistence and peace.”

It calls for the White House to “do everything possible to urge [Palestinian Authority] President [Mahmoud] Abbas to root out terrorism, return to negotiations without preconditions, earnestly work toward peace with Israel, and slam the door on any effort to deal with final status issues at the United Nations.”

In response, J Street sent an email to members of the US House urging them not to sign it and issued a statement attacking the its contents as “containing material omissions and misrepresentations of fact and presenting a biased and inaccurate picture.”

And J Street gets results:

“J Street’s opposition to the Rothman-Austria letter has only increased the willingness of members to sign on. It begs the question [sic] of what are J Street’s goals,” said one congressional staffer. “If J Street’s goals are to have fewer people sign onto the letter, they’ve already failed.”

So J Street is pro-Israel after all!
