J Street - The Great Friend of Israel


On March 16, 2010 a request was made to The Hon. Arne Duncan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education to protect the rights of Jewish students under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The request was made because of harassment on some college campuses of Jewish students by anti-Israel activists. The signatories to the letter were:  

American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists
American Jewish Committee
American Jewish Congress
Anti-Defamation League
B’nai B’rith International
Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life
Institute for Jewish and Community Research
Jewish Council for Public Affairs
Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America 
Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
Scholars for Peace in the Middle East
Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America
Zionist Organization of America 

Notably missing from the list was that great friend of Israel:   J Street.
