J Street
claims to be pro-Israel. It isn’t. It’s anti-Israel.

(The video comes from Elder of Zyion, as posted on The
Algemeiner, “J-Street Speaker Calls for Destruction of Israel – to Applause
(VIDEO)”, March 27, 2015).
When enemies
of Israel speak about Israel, they use certain code-phrases. These phrases include,
‘took the land’, ‘displaced other people’ and ‘the ‘Palestinians’ are looking
for a place for themselves and Israel opposes them’.
These
phrases reveal the ugly truth about those who would destroy the Jewish state:
they want you to believe Israel stole land that wasn’t hers. They want you to
accept it has no right to say ‘no’ to ‘Palestinians’.
They oppose Israel’s
existence. They want Jewish Israel to disappear.
Marcia
Freedman, member of the supposedly pro-Israel J Street Advisory Council, seems
to agree with these anti-Israel, anti-Jewish sentiments. She wants the Jewish
Israel to disappear. She says Jews ‘displaced’ another people. She builds an
anti-Israel argument upon anti-Israel code-phrases. If she’s pro-Israel, why
does she speak of Israel using the language of Israel’s enemies? If J Street is
pro-Israel, why is someone this anti-Israel so closely tied to it?
Marcia
Freedman loves ‘democracy’. She prefers ‘democracy’ to ‘Jewish’. She wants ‘democracy’
to replace ‘Jewish’.
She argues
in this video that a Jewish Israel isn’t a true democracy. The foundation for
her argument is shocking: Israel can’t be a democracy because it’s too Jewish.
This argument is stunning in its anti-Israel chutzpa: for Israel
to be a democracy, she argues, Jews have to allow Arabs to govern Israel (presumably
upon winning a national election). Such a ‘democracy’, she claims, would actually
be better than what Israel’s got right now because, she says, that would create
“a homeland for the Jewish people in which we [Jews] are a minority”.
That’s nonsense. Given Israel’s demographics, when Jews
become a minority in Israel, Arab Muslims become the majority. The moment that
happens, Israel would cease to be a democracy.
The proof of such an assertion is everywhere in the Arab
Middle East. Name one Muslim Arab country that’s a democracy.
You can’t. There is none.
There’s only way for there to be a democracy in Israel.
Jews have to be the majority.
Marcia Freedman doesn’t accept that. She suggests that, in
the democracy she prefers, Arabs would have the rights they lack today—and the Jewish
homeland would be more secure. Her reason: Jews would become a ‘protected
minority’. The Jewish homeland would be secured by the ‘state’, no matter who was
in power.
Really? On what basis does she make such an assertion.
The idea that Jews would be a protected minority in an
Israel ruled by Arab Muslims is madness. Where in the Middle East do Muslims-as-a-majority
protect any minorities?
She’s not calling for ‘democracy in Israel’. She’s calling
to destroy the Jewish homeland called Israel. That’s about as anti-Jewish and
anti-Israel as one can get in polite company.
In fact, Israel the Jewish homeland is the only democracy in
the Middle East. It protects Arab rights better than any Arab country.
If Arabs took over Israel, on what basis does she argue
that the lives of Israeli Arabs would improve? On what basis does she argue
that Arabs would actually protect the Jewish minority?
Name one country where Arabs treat Arabs better than Jews
treat Arabs. You can’t. Neither can she.
She’s the true face of J Street.
J Street isn’t pro-Israel. It’s anti-Israel.
