J Street and Bernie Sanders are lobbying to block the sale of U.S. weapons to Israel, jeopardizing Israel's ability to protect its citizens. This comes as Israel fights a war on multiple fronts and faces attacks from terrorist groups. J Street's actions signal a weakened and vulnerable Israel, while its enemies grow stronger. The resolutions are expected to be defeated, but the anti-Israel sentiment behind them is unpopular among most Americans. Pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and the Jewish Democratic Council of America are opposing Sanders and J Street. Their actions are seen as using Israel's security as a partisan political message.
