What a good story for the first day of Jewish-American Heritage Month.

J-Street is not even Jewish, from what I have heard most of its funding comes from the non-Jews. Thus they represent the interest of the Jew hating administration and not the greater Jewish community. I don't know a single person who has said a good word about this sordid organization.

This is great news.
A special thanks to a number of people with ZOA that spend many weeks making phone calls and writing letters to a large number of the organizations that are part of the Conference of Major Jewish Organizations. Without their efforts, J-Street could have realistically been approved as part of this umbrella organization.
On the other hand, the following hideous organizations should seize to exist immediately:

Many members had been very closed-mouthed on how they planned to vote in the days leading up to the ballot, but confirmed “yes” votes as of Wednesday morning included big players such as the Anti-Defamation League, the Union for Reform Judaism, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Conservative movement’s Rabbinical Assembly. Other organizations included the Jewish Labor Committee, the Jewish Council for Political Affairs, Workmen’s Circle, the National Council of Jewish Women, Ameinu and Americans for Peace Now.
