Good question. Darrell Issa and Tom Campbell are known GOP critics of Israel. Why does the Jewish Republican Coalition host them? It makes a point in condemning leftist anti-semites like Cindy Sheehan but turns a blind eye to GOP critics who are as bad or even worse, when comes to the support of Jewish interests and Israel. As Debbie Schlussel would argue, Jewish Republican support of GOP personalities must not be blind and uncritical. If they support Islamists and enemies of the Jewish State, they are no friends of Jews.

Will be interesting to hear what Hugh Hewitt has to say about this as he frequently has Tom on his radio show. I am sorta shocked to read what Debbie has written. Tom couldn't be doing a Clinton, could he? He get's our enemy cash for his campaign while supplying the enemy with those beautiful OC female Virgins? Unless they are like Arafat and would rather have the young blonde surfer boys :)

Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a BURDENSOME STONE for ALL people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH be gathered together AGAINST IT.

"Darrell Issa and Tom Campbell are known GOP critics of Israel."

Darrell Issa is a Christian Arab with a broad streak of dhimmi-complex.

There are many of them... I met a Lebanese Christian the other day who fled the civil war in '75 who firnly believes that the problems in the middle east are entirely caused by the US and England... not by the people who actually live there.

In their defense, while I don't know all the details beyond this article, Debbie has tied everyone to al Queda and/or Hamas. I think she even believes that Mr. Rogers was trying to train children to be suicide bombers.

Some Republicans are no better than Democrats. It strikes me that these are two of those. Anti-Semitism is the Dem stock in trade, as is a consistantly anti-Israel stance. If Campbell and Issa feel the need to cozy up to the muslimes, let them do so from the party that fits them. I also have the same attitude about pro-Arab blue-bloods like James Baker and the rest of that crowd who seems to be swinging US foreign policy in a direction that will lead to the destruction of Israel ("The Roadmap", AKA "Land for Being Blown to Pieces").

Israel is the US' only real friend in that sick part of the world, and if there are office holders who can't grasp that simple fact, or who choose to ignore it, then those same office holders should be turned out. If Issa suffers from a dhimmi complex, he'd better learn something and fast: THE ONLY REAL DHIMMIS ARE THOSE WHO REFUSE TO FIGHT THE BARBARIAN MOHAMMEDAN UNTIL HE IS DESTROYED. Cowards and traitors are dhimmis.....which one is Mr. Issa? I suspect he's equal parts of both. And if he is, he is unfit for any office above and including the county weed control board.
