This is a compilation of statements. The inclusion of a particular statement does not indicate J Street’s agreement with the contents of those statements or the agendas of those who are quoted.

Trump recently nominated David Friedman to be the ambassador to Israel. Friedman is a friend of the settlement movement, he’s spread conspiracy theories and he’s said that organizations lose all credibility when they aim to work with J Street – whom, as you’ve probably heard by now, he’s called “worse than kapos.”

It’s unacceptable. And we’re happy to report that others – on the Hill, in the Jewish community and in the broader political sphere – have said so, too.

Here’s a running list of Members of Congress, Jewish communal organizations and papers who’ve spoken out against Friedman. We’ll be updating it as others add their names:

Members of Congress

Rep. Gerry Connolly

Trump’s pick of Friedman as US Envoy to Israel is an affront to US policies on settlements and a two-state solution. (1/2)

— Gerry Connolly (@GerryConnolly) December 16, 2016

Rep. Jerry Nadler

Mr. Friedman’s radical hardline positions place him far outside the mainstream of both American and Israeli policy, and of American Jewry.
