J Street shows its true self
J Street claims to be pro-Israel and its supporters often defend J Street’s positions in letters and columns published by the Chronicle. As Israel is literally fighting for survival in a multifront war against well-armed Iranian proxies bent on destroying Israel, J Street supported Sen. Bernie Sanders’ resolutions to block weapons from the U.S. urgently needed to fight this war (“Progressive Jewish groups back Senate resolutions against arms sales to Israel,” Nov. 20, online). By taking this position, J Street openly joined anti-Israel groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow.
It is time for J Street to stop claiming it supports Israel as it openly aligns with groups that show little regard for Israel’s security and survival.
