I read about this from a Canadian source--but got too busy to post it.

Thanks.
(AntiSemitism, anyone? OR is this just Anti-Americanism resulting in "errant" attacks on Zionists?)

A better title for the article would be:

• Peace Protesters Become Violent

 

NOW a Democrat's at it--amd being rebuked!

The Washington Post reports:

"Jewish organizations condemned Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) today for delivering what they said were anti-Semitic remarks at an anti-war forum in Reston, in which he suggested that American Jews are responsible for pushing the country to war with Iraq and that Jewish leaders could prevent war if they wanted. . . .

"Jewish activists said the episode threatened to make Moran the Democratic Party's Trent Lott, referring to the former Senate majority leader from Mississippi who was deposed this winter for saying that the country would have been better off electing a segregationist for president in 1948.

"Moran's relationship with pro-Israel organizations and American Jewish leaders has steadily worsened in recent years over his pro-Palestinian stands in the Middle East conflict, interpretation of Israeli history and acceptance of campaign cash from individuals sympathetic to the terrorist organization Hamas or under investigation for terrorist ties.


At least Democrats are distancing themselves from Moran:
"State Sen. Janet D. Howell (D-Fairfax), an 11-year incumbent from Reston, said Moran's remarks were 'inexcusable and intolerable.'

"'For the congressman to scapegoat and blame the Jewish community for the impending war is intolerable. Whether we suport or oppose the war, we must respect all religious communities,' Howell said. 'There is no question that responsible Democratic leaders should distance themselves from him.'"
