Offended by J Street Leader’s Actions Toward Abbas? Vote For ZOA Coalition

(Courtesy of ZOA) Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Chairman Mark Levenson, Esq. released the following statement:

ZOA is deeply offended that J Street’s leader, Jeremy Ben-Ami, physically embraced and double-kissed Holocaust-denying Palestinian Authority (PA) dictator and Jew-killer Mahmoud Abbas.

This is the same Mahmoud Abbas who financed and helped plan the brutal torture, beatings, castration and massacre of Israel’s athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, and adamantly insists, to this day, on continuing to pay Arab terrorists more than $350 million per year to slaughter Jews and Americans. This is the same Mahmoud Abbas who repeatedly rebroadcasts his calls to spill blood to stop “Jews’ filthy feet” from “defiling” Jerusalem, and has incited waves of terror that resulted in the murder and maiming of thousands of Jews.

If you find J Street’s leader’s showing great respect and love for this Jew-hating “Israelophobe” as offensive as we do, please make sure to vote today for the ZOA Coalition (Slate No. 11) of 27 of the strongest pro-Israel organizations in the ongoing World Zionist Congress Elections today.

The ZOA Coalition (Slate No. 11) is leading the battle to defend Israel and the Jewish people’s rights at the World Zionist Congress and elsewhere. The ZOA Coalition initiated every single pro-Israel resolution at the most recent (2019) World Zionist Congress, and is endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s major ministers including Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Justice Minister Amir Ohana, regional council leaders, Speaker of the Knesset Yuli Edelstein, Knesset member and former Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, newspapers including the Jewish Voice and Jewish Connection and more.

Your vote is particularly important because J Street’s leader is running on the “progressive” slate in the World Zionist Congress election. J Street openly states that it is running to “divert” the funds of Israel’s national institutions “away from” 750,000 Jews living in Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria.

Ever since J Street’s inception 12 years ago, the positions, advocacy, statements and activities of J Street and its leader Jeremy Ben-Ami have been deeply troubling, even frightening.

For instance:

On Oct. 17, 2018, J Street senior leadership, including Jeremy Ben Ami, met with and expressed support for PA Minister Hussein al-Sheikh––within days of al-Sheikh giving Palestinian-Arab terrorists the funds and grenades to carry out a grisly terror attack against Jews in Jerusalem. In that attack, the terrorists murdered three Jews (including a Jewish woman who was pregnant with twins) and injured 100 other Jews. (“J Street and New Israel Fund Supported anti-Semitic Murderers,” by Caroline Glick, Nov. 9, 2018.)

J Street lobbies for anti-Israel United Nations resolutions. J Street lobbied for notorious UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which falsely declared that all of Israel’s lawful, historic Jewish lands, all of which Israel recaptured in a defensive war in 1967, including the Jewish Quarter and the Kotel and Judaism’s holiest place, the Temple Mount, is occupied Palestinian Arab land. (e.g., “Confronting J Street’s Candidates: How are you ‘Pro-Israel’?” by Abraham Katsman, published in The Jerusalem Post, Oct. 24, 2018.)

J Street lobbied against the Taylor Force Act. The Taylor Force Act called for cutting US taxpayers funds to the Palestinian Authority (PA), until the PA ends its infamous $350 million plus of annual payments to Arabs to murder Jews and Americans. (“Why Is A ‘Pro-Israel’ Group Lobbying To Preserve Payouts To Terrorists?” by Alex VanNess, The Federalist, Aug. 7, 2017.)

J Street honors and provides platforms at its conferences for leaders of the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, sanctions movement and leaders of anti-Israel lawfare movements, including Mustafa Barghouti, Sara Benninga and Michael Sfard.

J Street condemned the U.S. government for killing Qassem Soleimani, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s regime’s terrorist top commander who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, and who was preparing another potentially catastrophic attack on American targets.

J Street has received significant funds from anti-Zionist George Soros since 2008. Yet, for several years, J Street led the public to believe that Soros was not a J Street donor. (“J Street’s Half-Truths and Non-Truths About Its Funding,” by Chris Good, The Atlantic, Sept. 24, 2010.)

J Street aligned with “Jewish Voice for Peace” (which the ADL called “the most influential anti-Zionist group in the United States”) in its lobbying effort to remove pro-Israel language attached to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade bill. The pro-Israel language, which J Street lobbied to eliminate, was designed to prevent European trading partners from boycotting Israel. (“J Street’s Unreported Pro-BDS Partner — ‘Jewish Voice For Peace,’” CAMERA, June 18, 2015.)

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations overwhelmingly rejected J Street’s application to become a member of this large, mainstream Jewish umbrella group.

We urge you to help us fight for and defend the rights of the only Jewish State of Israel and the Jewish people, by voting for the ZOA Coalition (Slate No. 11) in the World Zionist Congress elections ongoing now.
