Ruins of the 16th St. Baptist Church in Which 4 Young Girls Lost Their Lives

Wise Beyond his Years: Isaac Luria of J Street

African American leaders greeted with enthusiasm KKK plans to erect a church and cultural center on the site of the September 15th, 1963 bombing of the 16th St. Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama in which 4 young girls were killed. Leaders of the Alabama Democratic Party as well as national progressive personalities applauded the plans to construct the house of worship as an expression of healing and reconciliation. J Street, the "Pro Israel", "Pro Peace" organization joined in an expression of solidarity with the KKK.

Isaac Luria, J Street's official spokesperson, issued the following statement in response to opposition to the construction of the cultural center and church:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York added in support of the project, ""What is great about America, and particularly New York, is we welcome everybody, and if we are so afraid of something like this, what does that say about us? Montgomery should welcome this project as enthusiastically as New York would."

The fact that the Grand Wizard refused to name the KKK a "terrorist" organization was apparently not sufficient to deter the project's proponents from endorsing it.

Parody, Yes. Outlandish, definitely not. The fever of "Islamophobia" has popped the thermometers and sanity of most of New York's and the country's self-styled "Progressive" leaders to the point that at the site of the most murderous attack on U.S. territory in history, they will fight for the Jihadists' right to exercise their doctrine of supremacy and supercessionism by building the enormous mosque and cultural center at Ground Zero.

Just how influential, wealthy and powerful J Street has become is reflected in its inflated rhetoric and presumptuousness onto the national scene. Never has a group's behavior belied its stated purpose more than J Street's. Not only has J Street demonstrated its lethal plans for the Jewish State, but now it has unabashedly joined the ranks of the Jihadists in the United States.

And, to the discredit of the left wing Jewish community, who make up 99% of J Street's enthusiasts, they sign onto every obscenity put forward by Jeremy Ben Ami & Co. It is becoming increasingly clear that J Street's concern for Israel is but a stalking horse for George Soros and his cronies and their pretensions to national prominence. Ben Ami has always been about ambition within the Democrat Party and J Street simply became his free ride to notoriety. The group's affinity for all things Muslim - be they imagined grievances in The Middle East - or greasing the wheels for Sharia Law within the U.S. - now extends to providing a "Jewish" apologia for the coming theo-fascism. Can anyone imagine J Street supporting an initiative to build a synagogue in Ramallah, or for that matter, in Mecca? That would be, needless to say, "provocative" to Muslim sensibilities.

Remember, a phobia is an irrational, paralyzing fear not substantiated by reality. "Islamophobia" is a gigantic misnomer. Since 2001, over 15,000 terror attacks with lethal results have produced ample and real evidence for fear. Calling this reaction a phobia would be like accusing the residents of southeast Asia of "tsunamiphobia". J Street is leading American Jewry to the abyss and if George Soros has his way, they will fall in with smiles on their faces.
