Liberal Jewish Group: "Rep. Allen West Is Anti-Israel"

I'm sure Rep. West would side-eye J Street's claim
Read on to find out why the American Jewish group makes this provocative claim against the conservative Republican Congressman. From Arutz Sheva (Israel): "J Street has launched a new campaign -- insisting that congressmen Joe Walsh (R-IL) and Allen West (R-FL) are 'not pro-Israel' because they support Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria [aka the West Bank]."

What statements sparked J Street's ire?: "'There is no such thing as a two-state solution, and no such thing as land for peace,' said Walsh, who introduced a resolution last year supporting a proposal that Israel annex Jewish communities located in 'disputed territories.' West, who co-sponsored the resolution, is a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, saying last year that a two-state solution would, essentially, mean the demise of Israel as a Jewish state."

The article continues: "The J Street ads single out the Congressmen’s claims, urging constituents to tell them 'the two-state solution preserves Israel’s democracy and its security.' 'Opposing it isn’t pro-Israel. It’s playing with fire,' the ad claims."
