Are these "people" for real? No, of course not they are the worst kind of Jews, those J-Streeters that are....
J Street president, Jeremy Ben-Ami.
Given the large election majority received by President Obama and
many other of their favored candidates, a reasonable morning-after
position for a group such as J Street would be one of quiet
satisfaction, or even – why not? – gleeful rejoicing.
But J Street, which has rarely met a critic of Israel it didn't like, instead tried to promote itself as an integral part of the campaign, a driving wind propelling Democratic victories. So eager to claim a starring role, J Street released details of several exit polls they commissioned which, upon examination, tell far more about how little J Street matters.
But first, to refresh your memory regarding the quality of candidates supported by J Street:
In the Wisconsin race for U.S. Senator, the Democratic contender, Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, defeated former Wisconsin governor Republican Tommy Thompson. Although Israel was not much of an issue in the race, the Emergency Committee for Israel, a staunchly pro-Israel organization with conservative political roots, aired an ad attacking what they called Baldwin's anti-Israel position during her congressional career.
ECI said Baldwin was "nothing less than hostile to the U.S.-Israel alliance. She has accused Israel of war crimes, befriended anti-Israel groups, refused to sign bipartisan letters of support for Israel, and defended the libelous Goldstone Report."
Yes, that was J Street's candidate in that race.
J Street supported Cheri Bustos in the 17th Congressional District of Illinois, and she defeated Republican Bobby Schilling. Unlike Baldwin, Bustos has nothing whatsover to say about foreign policy. Her issues are jobs, the economy, Medicare and Social Security, and the second Amendment. But in losing Schilling, Israel has lost a great friend in Congress, with a 0 rating by the Arab American Institute.
There goes another J Street-targeted friend of Israel.
