The far-left, pro-Israel J Street lobby, issued a statement following the wave of terrorist attacks.

"We express our sorrow and concern over the wave of terror attacks against Israeli soldiers, policemen, and civilians, led by extremist Palestinians. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we wish the speedy and full recovery of the wounded.

"The Palestinian Authority and its leaders must condemn the events and their operations and continue to promote security cooperation with Israel in order to locate those responsible and prevent the escalation of violence," they added.
