Talk about dissembling!
I enjoyed the letter defending Anna Kaplan by Toby Katz.
I only mention Toby alone because she apparently penned her “pure party” opinion and had the others sign with her. The sad facts are as follows:
1. The vast majority of AIPAC attendees were pleased with Trump’s remarks at the time whence he called out the traitorous actions involving Obama and Kerry in the Iran Surrender Plan.
2. The $120 million in annual dues to AIPAC are paid to run that organization by its members, including me, not by the staff who were concerned about the criticism of Obama from the membership.
Anna Kaplan’s statement attacked them and defended Obama.
3. Bipartisan support for Israel is essential but dwindling amongst Democrats.
The pro-Israel old guard – Hoyer, Pelosi, Engel, Lowey, et al, will soon retire. I blame the liberal Jews who fund the Democrats and who march with anti-Semitic groups for “the larger cause.”
These people do not possess the common sense of blacks, Hispanics and others who would not tolerate such treatment from the Democratic Party.
And no one knows the truth of this sentiment better than Great Neck Dem Leader Steve Markowitz. Liberal Jews allow the takeover of the Democratic Party by leftists.
They’re not alone, but no group contributes more dollars.
4. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We have a gem in state Sen. Phillips. I state this as a Republican who supports and has worked for many Democrats.
Toby Katz: How many not of your party have you supported?
