Yesterday I reported, based on a Jerusalem Post report, that J Street supports exempting U.S. aid for Israel from sequestration.
Today I received the following response from its Vice President, Alan Elsner:
I saw the blog you posted yesterday and I wanted to formally deny that we are in any way arguing for an exception to be made for assistance to Israel in the sequester.We oppose the sequester and we also oppose any exception being carved out for aid or military assistance to Israel. I would like this to be very clear. We will be issuing a statement this morning and posting it on our website so there can be no misunderstandings.I also would ask you to check in future before attributing positions to us. I don’t know how you reached the conclusion which you reached but it was not on the basis of any first hand information. I hope that in the interests of accuracy, you feel free to reach out to me or one of my colleagues in future and I on my part promise to be totally open with you. We both have an interest in accuracy which enhances credibility for both of us.
My apologies to J Street. Here is the statement it published today confirming Elsner’s message to me.
I am worried that we have a blogger who is obsessively full of hatred. Have 100,000 dies in Syria yet? Do you care?
sanny, You are the most obsessive writer I have seen on the Tikkun blog. In psychology, your behavior is called projection. On the street it’s the pot calling the kettle black. You owe me two cents.
Jim,
I have been reading your continued condemnation of Israel on this board. Do you get as upset with events in Syria? I doubt you ever give it a passing thought. I think 100,000 have died thus far…100,000. But who care about Arabs killing Arabs?
So, Jim, only Jewish interest groups. disturb you? I understand
I want to use some of the content on my website. I’ll offer you a link on my page if that is okay with you.

Wonderful goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you are just too great. I really like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still take care of to keep it wise. I can’t wait to read far more from you. This is really a tremendous site.
Thank you for another wonderful post. Where else could anyone get that type of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.
