Yep- he is jewish- in fact he has always been very pro-Israel- but he’s a complicated fellow.
He’s the one who stood up on his desk after the GOP lost Congress in 2006 and said “F##K the Republicans”...
Talk about self-contradicting. I've detested him for years, but didn't know he's Jewish and pro-Israel. Apparently he doesn't see the contradiction in his positions. And I'm surprised Obama is hiring him, though it might be convenient to be able to trot him out to distract American Jewish voters every time Obama says or does something in support of "Palestine" or against Israel.
