Chuck Hagel Quotes On Israel - I'm Liking Him More Already!!

[tommyj7648]

“I’m not an Israeli senator. I’m a United States senator"

“The political reality is … that the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here,””

“I support Israel, but my first interest is I take an oath of office to the Constitution of the United States, not to a president, not to a party, not to Israel. If I go run for Senate in Israel, I’ll do that,” the senator said.

Hagel also said he didn’t think he had ever signed one of the letters the American Israel Public Affairs Committee regularly circulates to demonstrate support for Israel or tough stands against its enemies such as Iran. “I didn’t sign the letter because it was a stupid letter,” he said in the interview with Miller, referring to one such missive.

In 2009, the pro-Israel lobby helped torpedo an Obama administration appointee viewed by some as unfriendly to Israel. Chas Freeman, whom Obama appointed to chair the National Intelligence Council, withdrew in March 2009 after coming under attack from figures such as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y).

you know what though on his issue of the murder state of Israel alone i have decided to support Hagel. I support Chuck Hagel, why? Because AIPAC and the ADL hate him. So if AIPAC and the ADL hate him then he must be doing something right.
