Dennis Ross Offers No Praise to J Street

Published March 4, 2011 2:43pm ET



J Street’s second annual conference – at least, that’s what it was called until the organizers realized it had actually been two years since their first annual conference – took place this past weekend in Washington, D.C. For the liberal lobbying group, which proudly (and falsely) calls itself “pro-Israel” and “pro-peace,” it’s been a rough two years.

Let’s review: It was revealed that, contrary to consistent claims from J Street’s brass, left-wing financier George Soros had provided money to the group, amounting to approximately $800,000. Moreover, a mysterious foreign national donated about as much as Soros did to J Street. The woman’s name: Consolacion Esdicul of Hong Kong. To date, her interest in J Street remains unknown. Neither Soros nor Esdicul were at J Street’s conference this past weekend (unless they were incognito).
