That is what the Clam was referring to as part of the unsubstantiated baggage Issa carries.
The state of Israel recognizes Congressman Issa as a friend, and calls on him regularly to assist them in negotiations, for instance, of freeing captured Israeli prisoners.
That he has met with Palis is only a reflection of his steadfast desire for true Middle East peace. (I've heard him speak about this)
He is not dissimilar from the President in recognizing that REALISTICALLY for that to happen, both sides will have to make concessions.
He may get tagged as pro-muslim because of his Lebonese heritage (he's 4th Generation American, 1/2 Lebonese 1/2 Irish).
If you ever get a chance to hear him speak, be sure to ask him about it, his answer really opened my eyes.

Thanks! I wanted to hear another view on Issa. Glad he is pro life and pro gun too. :)
