It’s Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), taking the Hamas line of a one state solution with a single sovereign governing from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This, of course, would almost certainly result in the demise of Israel as a Jewish democratic homeland and, with it, the end of the Zionist dream. Since this eventuality is part of the reason why a two-state solution is the overwhelming consensus amongst American Jews, we must assume that Walsh is acting with open eyes in snubbing the Jewish community writ large and paving the way for the eventual dissolution of Israel.
I’d previously flagged Rep. Walsh as no friend to Israel or the Jews, and with this reckless gambit he’s cemented himself as among the most overtly anti-Israel politicians operating in Washington, D.C. today. For Jewish groups with a political bent, he should be #1 on any target list come 2012. Send him packing, McKinney-style.
