It's Official: J Street Starts Its Election Smear Campaign

Remember Obama's infamous Truth Teams?
Well, don't look now but J Street has officially initiated its rapid response hit squad!

After lying about J Street taking money from multi-billionaire George Soros and taking over $800,000 from a Consolacion Esdicul in Hong Kong into J Street coffers, J Street decries in an email that we are in:

an election year, when tens of millions of dollars are poured into creating a false pro-Israel narrative based on misinformation, lies, and smears in the hopes of scaring and swaying voters.

It is therefore amazing how brazenly J Street claims in the video below that:

We know we can't compete with their money.
We don't have their millions

Yeah, right.

Take a moment to listen to the video below--the end is the worrisome part:



Luck concludes with a statement that reveals the real agenda of J Street: not to encourage discussion and debate, but to prevent any opinion of their own from being heard:

Together this year we are going to stand up and drown out the lies and smears with our vision of the future of pro-Israel

This is consistent with J Streets practice of smearing its opponents and silencing critics:

• J Street helped have Sarah Palin disinvited from an anti-Ahmadinejad rally at the UN and bragged about it.
• J Street pressured Jewish newspapers not to run ads by the Republican Jewish Coaltion

What is the J Street vision of "Pro-Israel"?

Apparently it includes J Street pushing to disseminate the Goldstone Report.

A report that even Goldstone himself later distanced himself from.

But J Street did the opposite:

• Mort Halperin, a member of the J Street advisory council council wrote the letter that Goldstone circulated, defending himself against HR 867 condemning his Report.
• J Street set up meetings between Goldstone, author of the report accusing Israel of war crimes, and members of Congress

Apparently J Street smears Israel as well as anyone who questions them.
The fact that the current government of Israel is democratically elected means nothing to J Street.

In their email, J Street proclaims:

We all know the next few months are going to be full of wild distortions, misinformation, and smears

They should now: it's been their stock in trade from the beginning.
