In your article “First Stop: Seattle” (Aug. 21) you neglected to mention that Federal Election Commission filings show that J Street has Muslims and Arabs as donors, as well as people connected to Palestinian and Iranian advocacy. Jeremy Ben Ami admits that at least 3 percent of their money comes from Muslims and Arabs. Now, it’s very understandable why the Arabs donate to J Street, but tell me why a “pro-Israel” group would accept such money unless they are not pro-Israel, which is what many observers feel. People should be aware of what they’re getting involved with if they think joining J Street is joining a pro-Israel or “pro-peace” organization.
