The Jewish advocacy group J Street has long denied being funded by George Soros, but an investigation by The Washington Times has led the group to admit that Soros is the man behind the curtain.
According to the Times, Soros and his two children gave $245,000 from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 — which represents a third of the group’s revenue from U.S. sources during that period.
With the funding now in the open, J Street executive director Jeremy Ben Ami has changed his group‘s stance on the Soros’s contributions. In an interview with the Times, Ami said that the $245,000 was part of a $750,000 gift from the Soros family to his organization made over three years, and admitted that during that same period Soros had raised $11 million for J Street and its political action committee.
I’m not surprised at all. Nearly all the advocacy groups on the left are funded by George Soros either directly or indirectly. Unfortunately for J Street they’re going to have a lot loss credibility now that our suspicions about them have been confirmed. Soros is a man with bad intentions and therefore the groups that he funds ultimately have bad intentions as well.
