The US State Department is also one of J Street's donors.
...A look into J Street’s donor list and a quick review of the organization’s website clearly reveals a very questionable pro-Israel policy.
According to the US Federal Election Commission, donors to J Street’s political action committee hail from forums aligned against Israel. J Street’s donors are affiliated with the National Iranian American Council, “Stop the Occupationâ€, AMIDEAST,
the US State Department
and the Arab American Institute -establishments not exactly known for pro-Israel views.
Among the many private Jewish and Christian donors to J Street, there are also a number of Islamic and pro-Iranian activists, as well as Palestinian and Arab American businesspeople. One such example is Zahi Khouri, a major Palestinian businessman with a Coke franchise in the West Bank. Khouri actually decried Israel’s attempts towards economic peace with the Palestinians in an article he wrote in the New York Times on September 9. source:
