J-Street endorsed congressman sponsored anti-Israel resolution

Elder of Ziyon

Yesterday, I reported on a one-sided anti-Israel resolution that was considered (and tabled for further consideration) by the North Carolina Democratic Party st their state convention this past weekend.

The resolution, which blames only Israel for all problems of the area and calls to recognize Hamas as a peace partner, was sponsored by the 4th Congressional District of North Carolina, which includes Chapel Hill.

(See Page 12, name of resolution:
26. BRINGING A JUST PEACE TO THE MIDDLE 
EAST:  ISRAEL AND PALESTINE (4TH CD) )

The member of Congress representing that district is David Price, an eleven term congressman.

J-Street, the purportedly pro-Israel organization, enthusiastically endorses Price:


Apparently, J-Street agrees that US military aid to Israel must be eliminated, that Hamas must be recognized, and that the PLO bears no responsibility for anything.

Can J-Street explain to us exactly what makes this one-sided joke of a resolution "pro-Israel" and why they are soliciting money to donate to this nutcase?  I'd really love to know.

    If I understand your post correctly, the proposal was made at the state level. So if Price is a representative at a national level, he wasn't necessarily responsible for the resolution.

    From the text :
    “A halt to further construction of the wall;
    An end to the Gaza blockade;
    The establishment of a nuclear free zone in the Middle East;
    Redirecting U.S. Military aid to Israel to promote social and economic development for peace in both Israel and Palestine;”
    Translation: we’ll tie you down and wait for the terrorists to slit your throat.
    So many dumb things, borders, illegal settlements, the blockade, expropriated Palestinian land. Someone’s been drinking the J-Street Kool-Aid. This is even more uniformed than the Marrickville boycott from last year.
    It appears all the only policy the Dems think is a winner is hating Jews.

    Islam is ‘a religion of war,’ says son of Hamas founder on a visit to his ‘beloved Israel’
    Mosab Hassan Yousef rejected his Islamist upbringing to help Israel fight terror. If he had the chance, he says, he’d tell his father: ‘Leave Hamas. You have created a monster’
    "Mosab Hassan Yousef has a knack for controversy. The son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, he has already broken every taboo in the Palestinian book. He has worked for Israeli intelligence and converted to Christianity. Now he is developing a new film which is sure to be no less sensational: a biography of the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam."

    Why Is the Peace Process Dead?
    The peace process is dead because a majority in the Arab and Muslim world still has not come to terms with Israel's right to exist.

    Some of J Street's endorsements of "pro-Israel" candidates have been more outrageous, some less outrageous. (In the last election cycle, they endorsed a Jewish woman from the SF Bay area who was as bad on Israel as the most anti-Israel representatives in Congress. Fortunately, she lost by a wide margin.) It would be helpful to have a list of the most outrageous of them over time along with a capsule account of their records on Israel. Price could go on the list. Other nominees for such a list?
