One would think this would be a problem. But it’s also routine in the Biden administration which, in recent weeks, elevated Hady Amr, a terrorism supporter, to a top-tier emissary to the PLO and sent the FBI after Israel. This is just one in a series of ugly hate messages, the latest being to dispatch Secretary of State Blinken to address an anti-Israel group set up by George Soros and some Hong Kong money laundering.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be the keynote speaker at leftwing J Street’s annual conference in Washington, D.C., the organization announced on Wednesday.
Blinken on Wednesday announced that he will serve as the headline speaker at the annual conference for J Street, which as recently as last month trashed Netanyahu, accusing the incoming prime minister of “building and bulldozing [his] way to permanent, undemocratic control of the West Bank.” The group also advocates conditioning U.S. aid to Israel, routinely attacks the Jewish state for defending itself against Palestinian terrorism…
The conference kicks off this weekend, with Blinken set to address the confab on Sunday, alongside former Bernie Sanders adviser and longtime Israel critic Matt Duss, Daily Beast writer Wajahat Ali, a cadre of pro-Palestinian activists, and several Democratic members of Congress, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) and senator-elect Peter Welch (D., Vt.).
Duss, a Sanders ally, has gone well beyond being a critic.
Duss, whose writings have been described by a watchdog group, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, as “infected with Jew-hatred,” has been a leading voice in the anti-Israel movement for the better part of the last decade. His criticisms of Israel were too much even for the Obama White House, which said it was “troubled” by blog posts penned by Duss and his colleagues at the now-defunct ThinkProgress.
The Sanders ally gained notoriety in 2011 when he and several other writers at the Center for American Progress’s now-defunct ThinkProgress leveled charges of dual loyalty against Israel’s American supporters, calling them “Israel firsters,” a term that was widely condemned at the time as anti-Semitic.
In one 2010 posting on Israel’s deadly confrontation with a violent mob seeking to break its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, Duss claimed the country’s policies are like “segregation in the American South” and a “moral abomination.” Duss is also a defender of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and said in 2019 that congressional efforts to counter the anti-Israel crowd are a “con and Democrats need to stop playing along.”
Also there is Daniel Seidemann who had tweeted, “Israel’s policies have become so aggressive and unapologetic – defiant even – that even our staunchest supporters, if they have any intellectual and moral integrity – are compelled to acknowledge the systematic manifestations of apartheid in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.”
The anti-Israel program also includes panels such as, “Resisting Occupation: Non-Violent Activism on the Ground”, and “Demolitions, Evictions, and Displacement in East Jerusalem and the West Bank”.
A helpful reminder that the Biden administration is and always will be an anti-Israel operation.
J Street is a terrible organization that apologizes and rationalizes terror against Israel
your dangerously ignorant and an apologist for Jew haters – get lost, imbecile
Let the godless fools curse Israel.
They are the ones that will be cursed.
I am a witness that this is true.
With many better candidates to choose from, Biden managed to find the least Jewish, least competent Jews for his Cabinet.
they’re competent at their real job, being the public face of a radical corrupt administration while others do the dirty work behind the scenes
Court Jews can be capos. It is a serious mistake to expect more of them.
Since surrounding Arab countries have around 600 times more land
and all that oil as compared to Israel, I suggest West Bank Muslims
submit to the largesse of their rich oil sheik cousins/brothers and
they’ll feel more at home.
Saudi Arabians have Saudi Arabia, Jordan is for Jordanians, Iran is for
Iranians, Syria is for Syrians . . . any argument?
Tiny Israel is left for the Jewish people.
Learn to live with it.
If you want integrity, start with admitting the obvious, that J Street is an anti-Israel group funded by an anti-Israel billionaire.
You can also go ahead and poll the rest of the region, as to what Turkey intends to do with the millions of Kurds, Iraq with the millions of Sunnis and Turkmen and Kurds, the Saudis with their Shiites, Lebanon with its African population, etc…
The region consists of countries with sizable minorities and lots of tensions. Only one has its terror domestic campaign funded by the Biden administration and receives political support from it.
We might want to ask why? If integrity is in the mix, anyway.
Blinken is a good example of a Jewish Israel hater. He hates his own people, both Israel and the USA and works to destroy both because he hates both and advances their enemies every chance he gets. He’s basically a leftist (communist) first. They destroy to build back communist.
The vile Dhimmi-crats’ evil dhimmitude and Jew-hate/anti-Israel venom continue, apace.
The minute that a Dhimmi-crat injects the manifestly false, inflammatory and incitement-aimed slander of “apartheid,” “colonization” and “settlers” into the Israel discussion, they confirm themselves to be nothing more than useful idiot mouthpieces/trained seals/lapdogs excusing, rationalizing and showing deference to Arab Muslim supremacism, totalitarianism, violence against, and, genocidal aspirations for, Israeli Jews, while simultaneously seeking to erase Jews’ historical ties to Israel, which pre-date the founding of the wretched ideology of “Submission” by millennia.
