Reports have J-Street having been a recipient of some $576,000 from the Obama administration in order to be an advocate for the nuclear deal with Iran.

So, are they just mercenaries? Can they claim to be honestly advocating for what they think is best for Israel when they are being paid to do so? Is it all about the money, or maybe if the money is there anyway and it matches with what they would be doing anyway, why not take it?

Does this revelation make J-Street look any worse than they already did in regards to their "pro-Israel" work?

The J Street Challenge is an important and timely documentary about a significant issue facing the American Jewish community.
Since it was founded in 2008, J Street's idealistic message has attracted many Jews, young and old, who are frustrated by the Middle East conflict and sincerely want peace between Arabs and Jews. J Street has been a subject of controversy. Critics claim that J Street has divided the Jewish community and weakened American Jewish support for Israel. "The J Street Challenge" lets viewers hear both sides of this important debate over the elusive solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The film explores the reasons for J Street's appeal, as well as the diverse and at times contradictory motivations of its leaders and followers. The film is being released at a critical time for the American Jewish community given the intense efforts by the United States to resolve the conflict and influence the community's leadership to support these efforts. The Kerry peace initiative has further divided the Jewish community, with J Street working to weaken the influence of AIPAC while strongly backing the administration.
The film includes distinguished scholars and writers from a wide political spectrum, including Harvard professors Alan Dershowitz and Ruth Wisse, Rabbi Daniel Gordis of the Shalem College in Jerusalem, Caroline Glick, Managing Editor of the Jerusalem Post, Professor Richard Landes of Boston University, Lenny Ben David -- former Israeli diplomat and author, and Bret Stephens, Pulitzer prize winning columnist for The Wall Street Journal.

J-street speaker says Israel should be destroyed - to applause

Quote Of The Day

Don't tell me that we don't have a partner for peace. Abu Mazen has never supported terror. He opposed [the use of] terror when Arafat ruled...

  --- Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, speaking at a JStreet conference

Olmert must have forgotten Abu Mazen's involvement in the Maalot massacre 38 years ago, along with his being in charge of funding the Black September group of terrorists responsible for the Munich Massacre among others..
