United States

With election day fast approaching, you should know that Jerrold Nadler (NY Member of Congress- Democrat) recently published an article in Haaretz: Recognize Jews as refugees from Arab Countries; and that the World Jewish Congress recently quoted Israeli Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, as stating: I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing, in regard to our security, more than anything that I can remember in the past." in response to President Obama signing the Enhanced Security Cooperation Act. Also, Israel on Trial in New York in the Wall Street Journal mentions that Cynthia McKinney (GA Member of Congress) is a member of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (along with Roger Waters and Alice Walker) which is not just against Israeli policies but also against the existence of the Jewish state.
