Joel Mowbray reports: Dem congressman winks AT ANTI-SEMITISM
Our occasional correspondent Joel Mowbray (jdmowbra@erols.com) reports:
The growing predilection on the Left of accusing people who are pro-Israel of having dual loyalties has now emerged in a Democratic congressional primary in New Jersey, where two longtime Congressmen are squaring off because of redistricting. What’s unusual, though, is that the nasty charge is being tolerated, perhaps even encouraged, by a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Bill Pascrell.
Starting the flap was a piece at NJ.com by prominent local Arab leader Aref Assaf. Assaf called Rothman “Israel’s man in District 9.” He argued, “[T]otal and blind support for Israel becomes the only reason for choosing Rothman,” and concluded his attack on Rep. Rothman writing, “Loyalty to a foreign flag is not loyalty to America’s.”
