J-Street, a group that touts itself as completely pro-Israel, is now re-evaluating its endorsement of a congressman who praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
It’s about time.
JStreetPAC actually lists Rep. Danny Davis, the Illinois Democrat who wouldn’t distance himself from Farrakhan, as one of several congressional members that received financial support from the group.

How can this be?
Jewish Breaking News has more:
JStreetPAC, the arm of the liberal Israel lobby that funds and endorses candidates, currently lists Rep. Danny Davis, an Illinois Democrat from the virulently anti-Semitic Farrakhan’s home base of Chicago, as a candidate it supports. The endorsement, first reported in the Forward, calls Davis “a longtime supporter of Israel and a two-state solution.”
But a J Street spokesman wrote in an email to JTA that the lobby is speaking with Davis’ office and reconsidering that endorsement.
“We take anti-Semitism quite seriously,” J Street’s statement read. “We are currently in conversation with Representative Davis’ office about this issue. We will get back to you shortly with a more extensive response.”
Farrakhan, a vocal anti-Semite for decades, recently gave a speech laced with anti-Semitic statements. There have been a rising number of calls in the speech’s wake for Farrakhan’s allies to disavow him.
Davis praised Farrakhan as an “outstanding human being” in an interview last month with the Daily Caller, a conservative news site. In another interview this week, Davis told the Daily Caller that Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism does not concern him enough to disavow Farrakhan, who heads a black separatist movement.
“I know Farrakhan, been knowing him for years and years and years and years and years, and every once in a while some writer or somebody will I guess try to think of something to say about Farrakhan, but nah, my world is so much bigger than any of that,” Davis told the Daily Caller. “The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth.”

Take a long hard look at the worms in government who are either muslims or sympathizers. They have islam, not America’s best interests on their little minds. Treason is the only way to describe islam, in comparison to an elected by the people government.

“We take anti-Semitism quite seriously,” J Street’s statement read.
Ha ha ha ha- that’s a good one. That’s why, for years, you’ve been supporting anti-Semites and those who wish to wipe Israel of the the map.
I’m sure SNL would have a place for you guys!

“Re-Evaluating” is code for “We’ll go through the motions and declare it’s okay.”.

Danny Davis and Louis Farrakhan have Black Privilege. A pass is given to them.

Danny Davis is just another “useful black idiot” who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about his constituents and only lives to kiss the arses of Muslims and whom ever will line his pocket with money! He is just as “worthless and pathetic” as Sen. Dick Dirtbag Durbin.

“We’ll get back to you shortly” J Street proclaims, “with a more extensive response.”
This is the same phrase imploring parents heard from the ghetto Jewish police, as their children were loaded onto cattle cars.
Sounds over-heated? It isn’t.
The J Street types will, in the end, kill us all.
