Making matters worse, Michael Goldfarb at The Weekly Standard notes that J Street may have been lying about their funding:
The Myth vs. Fact section of the J Street website makes clear that “George Soros very publicly stated his decision not to be engaged in J Street when it was launched — precisely out of fear that his involvement would be used against the organization.”
An just six months ago, Ben-Ami told Moment Magazine, “We got tagged as having his support, without the benefit of actually getting funded!”
But wait! There’s more. Aside from Soros, Lake’s story notes that the largest funder of J Street, which again claims to represent “mainstream American Jews,” lives in Hong Kong:
The [Soros] contributions represent a third of the group’s revenue from U.S. sources during the period. Nearly half of J Street’s revenue during the timeframe — a total of $811,697 — however, came from a single donor in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, named Consolacion Esdicul.
Note that this is the second major religious group on the Left that appears to have been dishonest about recieving Soros funding.

Why would they lie? Maybe because nobody wants to admit their organization(s) is(are) being funded by a Jewish Nazi?
