J Street U Slammed for Insensitive Post Following Murder of Baby
More trouble for the campus organization.
10.23.2014

J Street U, the campus arm of the George Soros-founded organization which claims to be pro-Israel, is garnering negative attention after an insensitive post following the murder of a Jewish baby in Jerusalem on Wednesday.

Rather than simply express sympathy with the family of the murdered three-month-old, who was killed in a Hamas-endorsed attack, J Street U felt it was necessary to editorialize. "In Jerusalem, a baby has been killed and 8 wounded by a terrorist from the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan, the same neighborhood where last week new Jewish settlers moved in," the group wrote on its page.

(J Street) In Jerusalem, a baby has been killed and 8 wounded by a terrorist from the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan, the same neighborhood where last week new Jewish settlers moved in

"That's just a wrong post, in so many different levels. Allowing the blood of anyone who lives where you don't want them to live. So it's ok to kill any settler in the West Bank? J Street- your mind is just twisted," Hen Mazzig on StandWithUs commented on the post. "That's from an Israeli leftist."

Michael Dickson, StandWithUs' Israel Director joined Mazzig in chastising the campus group. "And in one line, you express no remorse for the 3 month old victim, you blame Jews for the murder of a Jewish baby and expose your amoral mindset," he wrote. "A disgusting justification of terror; you should feel ashamed."

“Are you saying the "settlers" are responsible for what happened?” asked Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Jewish Press. “That really is the soft bigotry of low (no?) expectations.”

Jewish Voice for Peace, a rabidly anti-Israel organization, proved wiser than J Street and elected to simply pretend the incident never happened on its Facebook feed. Hours later, J Street U linked to a two-sentence-long statement from its parent organization condemning the attack.

This is truly sickening. J Street is trying to defend this Palestinian Islamo Nazi for slaughtering this 3 month old Jewish baby because Jews are living in Jerusalem.
Who the Hell is giving money to these J Street Palestinian terrorist apologists.

This neighborhood of Silwan was established in the 19th century by Jewish immigrants from Yemen and most of its residents were Jewish. The Yemenite Jews living in Silwan were evacuated by the British authorities in 1938, during the Arab riots.
