Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA), said in a March 21 podcast with National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar, “We disagree with [MoveOn’s] approach, just as we disagree with boycotts of Israel.”
“Even if you disagree with the policies of any one organization, I think that by excluding yourself and urging others to not have a seat at the table, you can’t expect your voice to be heard,” Soifer said. “So I think it’s important for all organizations to participate.”
She added that support for “the U.S.-Israel relationship should remain bipartisan.”
