74 Anti-Israel Democrats!
Even as Israel faces attack from Iran, Egypt and Gaza, 74 House Democrats joined up with J Street's position. J Street, (incase you're unaware) are a radical group that essentially advocates for the destruction of the State of Israel. J Street, as Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak has pointed out, has among other anti positions, opposed sanctions against Iran.
Recently, J Street has purportedly backed off of some positions, perhaps at the behest of the Obama administration, which has been feeling so much heat from the Jewish community that it reportedly asked Media Matters to dump its in-house anti-Semite.
The newest J Street initiative is a letter which advocates effectively forcing Israel into concessions with terror groups. Below is a full list of the signatories to the J Street letter; named after Cohen-Yarmuth-Connolly, the three members of Congress: Steve Cohen (D-TN), John Yarmuth (D-KY), and Gerry Connolly (D-VA).

J Street is an attempt to build a counterweight to AIPAC that could sucker Jews into supporting the Democrats no matter how anti-Israel they become. One crucial factor in accomplishing this goal is creating the perception that Jews in Congress, just must be pro-Israel since they’re Jewish. Actually many *DO NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL but back J Street!
J Street remains an extremist organization, and one dedicated to harming Israel. And the Congresspeople who signed onto this letter – with a few exceptions — are generally no friends to Israel. Chris Van Hollen, for example, urged the Bush administration to back a ceasefire during the Israel-Lebanon war that would have protected Hezbollah; Jim McDermott, when he wasn’t spending time flacking for Saddam Hussein, was voting against a House Resolution supporting
Israel. The Democratic Party has become the new home for many anti Israel and not a few anti-Semites. C) Ben Shapiro
