“Pro-Israel” J-Street sent out an email:
In 2018, Wisconsin will again be the site of one of the most competitive races in the country. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s seat has been named one of the most likely to flip in 2018, based on last year’s presidential results. If we don’t fight hard for Tammy Baldwin — if we take her reelection for granted — we risk losing a key J Street ally in Congress.
Chip in $9 now to support J Street champion Senator Tammy Baldwin.
What does Tammy Baldwin believe?
In 2006, HR 282 entitled “To hold the current regime in Iran accountable for its threatening behavior and to support a transition to democracy in Iran” was passed by a huge bipartisan majority 397-21.
Tammy Baldwin voted against it.
In 2009, HR 2194, the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act of 2009 passed by an even more lopsided, bipartisan vote of 412-12.
Tammy Baldwin voted against it.
In 2010:the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act passed with a vote of 408-8.
Tammy Baldwin was one of the few who voted against it.
When Baldwin ran for Senate, suddenly she started supporting Iran sanctions bills. But she clearly doesn’t really believe in them. It was considered a “full flop” by Politifact.
The Arab American Institute rates Baldwin a +4, “indicating pro-Arab pro-Palestine voting record.”
In 2010, Baldwin signed a letter that demanded that Israel lift the “blockade” on Gaza, saying that it was imposing “de facto collective punishment” to Gaza residents.
If you had to list the least pro-Israel members of the Senate, Tammy Baldwin would have to be in the top tier of that list.
So when J-Street claims to be “pro-Israel,” their support of Tammy Baldwin shows that they are anything but.
