Per JTA, AIPAC makes an announcement that manages to be both obvious and yet timely, given the disgraceful partisan claims about support for Israel.
You mean to say that Green party activist Cindy Sheehan and GOP funded Al Sharpton are not the voices of the Democratic Party? That Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, Durbin, Dean, and the Clintons are among the faces of the party? That the 39th President is less the voice of the Dems on Israel than the 41st President (H.W.) and his Secretary of State (James Baker) are the voice of the GOP, despite H.W. being the President's father and Baker a critical governmental voice on Middle East policy.
I'm stunned!
AIPAC: Both parties support Israel
Congressional support for Israel will remain steadfast no matter which party wins next week’s election, AIPAC said.
The unsolicited statement sent to media Wednesday by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee appeared to be in response to a barrage of recent Republican Jewish Coalition ads saying support for Israel has eroded among Democrats.
“In recent weeks, some have suggested that it is better for Israel if one party or another is in control of the House or Senate,” the statement said.
“AIPAC believes that strong bipartisan support for Israel exists in both parties and, regardless of who is in control, that support will remain steadfast. AIPAC works closely with leaders on both sides of the aisle, each deeply committed to strengthening the bonds between the United States and Israel. No matter who wins the upcoming elections, AIPAC is confident that Congress will continue to support a strong Israel and a strong relationship between the United States and its most reliable ally in the Middle East.”
