#JStreetFail J Street cancels event in Boston due to lack of attendance
I grew up in the Boston area, and it's probably the most liberal place in America east of Berkeley. If you can't get support for a Leftist cause in Boston, you can't get it anywhere. On June 20, J Street canceled an event in Boston because only seven people were planning to attend. The story came out when the cancellation was discovered on Facebook by a Washington Free Beacon reporter on Friday, and as soon as the reporter started to mock the group, they tried to scrub their Facebook page clean.
The event had been named, “Drinks and Conversation with Alan Elsner, veteran Reuters wireman and J Street VP.”
The event was to feature “free appetizers and a cash bar,” according to a cached copy of the event, which no longer can be accessed on Facebook.
“Hi everyone. Unfortunately, tonight’s event is cancelled due to lack of attendance,” J Street member Adam Steinberg wrote to the seven disappointed activists who had signed on for the event. “We look forward to keeping you informed of future events and opportunities in the future.”
Pro-Israel insiders said that this is yet another embarrassment for a group that purports to represent the will of the American Jewish community.
“Even by J Street standards, trying to scrub a Facebook event page is a new, pathetic low,” said one pro-Israel official. “You’d think [Elsner] would have built up a fan base somewhere.”
“Apparently not even the Israel haters that J Street caters to want to hear his propaganda,” the official said.
Another official at a Washington D.C.-based pro-Israel group offered J Street a piece of advice.
“All of this could have avoided if they would have just ponied up the money for an open bar,” the official said.BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
