February 22, 2022 (Washington, DC) — Jeff Mendelsohn, Executive Director of Pro-Israel America, issued the following statement on J Street PAC quietly rescinding its support for Representative Marie Newman (D-IL):
“Pro-Israel America is glad to see that J Street PAC heeded our call to drop their support for Representative Marie Newman. To live up to their claim of being ‘pro-Israel,’ J Street should publicly condemn the Congresswoman’s anti-Israel stances and actions and ask that she return the nearly $15,000 they have already raised for her 2022 campaign.
Further, J Street should also renounce its support of other anti-Israel candidates, including Jamaal Bowman who just last week turned his back on the historic progress being made between Israel and Arab states by pulling his support for the Abraham Accords.”
