3. J-street
zelig ,   memphis   (05.01.14)
J street's as pro-Israel as: a.Adolph Hitler b.Bogdan Chielmeinski c..R. Moshe Hirsh d. Noam Chop Suey e.your average Tsar f. your average brain dead jihadi g.Norman Rat Finkelstein h.Western Europe i.all of the above
4. "pro-Israel lobby" objective reporting?
Abe Wolfman ,   Balestine, Tejas   (05.01.14)
"dovish" to those that come to kill jews-is that what it could mean because Jihad-Street wants Jews to go out of the land of their own name as Malcom Hoenlein wanted and/or never condemend Jews out of Azza, Hebron and Yamit. (Beit El etc ad nauseum).the program is Jews for Jews in the land of their own name. Alll else are usurpers at best and more accurately genocidal mass murdering extortionists who must go.
5. J street
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (05.01.14)
they were turned down for membership when it was discovered tha the "J" stood for JERK not Jew.....AM YISROEL CHAI
6. J-Street does not accept democratic principles
CJK   (05.01.14)
this anti-israel, pro-muslim group, financed by george soros, refuses to accept the democratic vote of the major jewish organisations of american jews. this group, which was even opposed to sanctions on the terror state of iran, cannot claim to be pro-israel. the rejection of j-street by the majority of american jewish organisations is not a surprise. j-street is the extreme left and is a mouthpiece of the obama administration.
7. Pro Israel?????
Howard ,   Seattle USA   (05.01.14)
Since when is J Street pro Israel?What kind of drugs is this writer on??????J Stree tis about as pro Israel as Islamic Jihad is.
8. If you don't like the Conference, why did you attempt to...
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.02.14)
...fool everyone by insisting that you are "pro-Israel, pro-peace" when in reality you are none of the two, only to be part of this non-representing Conference...??
9. How many "J Street" supporters would say "I do" to
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.02.14)
the following: I accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. Having attempted in another site to solicit such positive response, I have only been given excuses why they, i.e. "J Street" supporters, cant accept such a statement. Yet, this is an organization that calls itself "pro-Israel".....
10. kudose to Hoelein, put that faux jewish org
Jordan Is ,   Eastern Palestine   (05.02.14)

11. There are more Muslims that are Pro Israel
Yoav Naor ,   Haifa Israel   (05.02.14)
Than there are JStreet members,these people are delusional,they don't represent anymore besides themselves.....Self serving Leftist Loonies.....
12. Not Doves more like Hyenas
Yoav Naor ,   Haifa Israel   (05.02.14)
JStreet are more dangerous then Abbas,JStreet are trying to destabilize Israel from within......
13. whn you never disagree with our enemies....
ghilmeini ,   usa   (05.02.14)
how can you claim you are pro-Israel? I understand that there is a sizable faction of far-left Jews (whose grandchildren will not be part of our story) but to let them trample on the centerpiece of the Jewish world, our rebirth in the land of Israel is fratricidal on their part and on suicidal on the part of those of us whose grandchildren will be part of the future of the Jewish people. Just saying you are pro-Israel does not make you pro- Israel and, as for peace, I would like nothing better than peace but it is fantasy to believe peace is possible now. J-Street's funding from those who hate Israel most is reason enough to shun them.
14. J Street
ik ,   USA   (05.02.14)
I've already walked out on two J Street community meetings for their vitriolic bashing of all things Israel. No, they don't represent the American Jewry in any fashion. There's is a motion to disrupt the American diaspora from adhering to their decades-long love for the Jewish State of Israel.
15. George Soros
Ron ,   oc us   (05.01.14)
How can any group so aligned with George Soros be pro Israel?
16. J Street = Pro terrorism against Israel!!!!!
Father Abe   (05.01.14)
17. Ben-Ami's father would turn over in his grave
Noah ,   bronx New York   (05.02.14)
It's incumbent on everyone to read the book by Jeremy Ben-Ami's father Yitzhak "years of wrath days of glory." I accuse Jeremy of being a filthy collaborator with arab supremacists
18. J Street is a scam
Rozie   (05.02.14)
They are the mouth piece of a failed Obama Administration. The lie, lie and lie. I have been to many events and there is not a word of truth that they say. Their aim is to destroy Israel as we know it. Disgusting group.
19. post-Zionist organizations are not welcome
Israeli   (05.02.14)
Its time the Jewish community in the US and the state of Israel will act together to educate the Jews of the US away from post-Zionist and blatant anti-Zionist organizations.
20. Word of advice to Jeremy
Cynic #2   (05.02.14)
forget New York, move to London.
21. J street has nothing to do with Jews
Tomi Weiss ,   Israel   (05.03.14)
Jihadi street is hated by 9 out of 10 Jews. It was created by CIA; sponsored paid, and controlled today by Antisemitic and Islamist organizations in order to hurt the Jewish people and enable Ben Amis corruption and self doings. If it wants to join an umbrella group it could join David Duke, Brother Nataniel or Al Qaeda. Jihadi street has no right to speak in the name of Jews. It represent Jews as much as Kapos represent us during WWII
22. your filipinit would call it -
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (05.03.14)
"sour graping"
23. J Street is a fringe group that is
Reuven   (05.03.14)
working hard to destroy Israel. It wouldn't surprise me if CAIR donated to it.
24. All 23 talkbackers here, are....
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.03.14)
...a single mindless person suffering from a rabid right-wing disease
25. To #24
Ezra ,   SanDiegoUSA   (05.04.14)
No, they are 24 different individuals who usually don't agree on anything. It's amazing they agree to disagree with the pseudo Jewish group named J(erk) Street. The Land belongs to HaShem; given to the Jewish Nation as promised to Abraham. Can't change that.
26. #24:You've used 9 words, I'll use 1: PATRIOTS!
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.04.14)
27. Israel has not enough enemies
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (05.04.14)
Do we Jews need enemies from within? Who needs these rabies kissing behinds of our enemies? rememberamalek.blogspot
28. Constitutionality
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (05.04.14)
Like every group Conference has rules, regulations and a basic constitution. Everything was done correctly and the result is that J-Street will have to re-apply at some future date. Many of us see J-Street and NIF as naive and working against Israel's own interests. The PA, [Fatah, Hamas and Jihad] are not about to change their underlying determination to anihilate Israel, no matter how many colleges have chapters of J-Street. The Reform threat to leave if they cannot get their own way says a lot. Groups outside the Conference, like Agudath Israel and Chabad, probably do more for Jewish life than the Union for Reform Judaism and J-Street combined.
29. # 28 Sherlock H.
(05.04.14)
You are very wrong. While J-Street might be a stupid club of so called "rabbis" (I have zero respect for them), then the NIF is not naïve, on the contrary, it is a very dangerous, fiendish organization, supported by obscure sponsors and dubious receivers of anti-Israeli funds! they promote demonization of Israel and the IDF. please revert to: www.financingtheflames.com rememberamalek.blogspot
