J Street is scheduled to have Rep. Jan Schakowsky as their keynote speaker at a conference this weekend in DC. Other speakers are so anti-Israel and so-far left that I’m surprised there hasn’t been a revolt by the few sane members of that organization. This includes BDS leaders who are among the most anti-Israel people in the world.

Then, again, if you belong to J Street, you are very unlikely to be sane in the first place.

As you yourself put it, there are NO sane members of J Street. These are all individuals who might call themselves Jewish, yet are activists whose goal is the suicide of the Jewish people. How sick!!!

Can't think of a better choice for keynote speaker than Schakowsky, except perhaps Cohen (D-TN), who participated in their boycott of Netanyahu's speech.

As it turns out, some Jewish leaders who were deaf to J-Street’s anti-Israel lean have decided that it is going too far this time.

“But on March 9, Fingerhut announced he wouldn’t address the conference because of speakers whom he found “problematic,” reported JTA news service. Hillel’s chief administrative officer, David Eden, cited as an example Saeb Erekat, the longtime chief Palestinian negotiator who had recently compared Israel to the Islamic State, or ISIS, JTA reported. The State Department and Israel deal with Erekat.”
