Jamie Kirchick, last week:
One must presume now that Wexler and Frank, two of the most liberal members of Congress but certainly within the broad, pro-Israel consensus of American opinion, are also now part of the "vocal right-wing minority," despite J Street's endeavour to put a gloss over their gross misrepresentation of the congressmen's views (I guarantee that neither representative will be accepting a J Street endorsement this fall, and thus not join the, wait for it, 7 congressional candidates J Street has endorsed this cycle).Robert Wexler, today, upon receiving the J Street endorsement:
"I have been a vocal advocate for Israel and peace throughout my life and believe that we must do all we can to promote Israel's security. Israeli security depends upon a two-state solution between her and the Palestinians, a smart American policy towards Iran rooted in diplomacy, and active American diplomatic engagement with the entire Middle East. JStreetPAC stands for these principles, which are the right ones for America, Israel, and the Middle East, and I am proud to have their endorsement."
