http://www.realclearpolitics.com/authors/?id=23005Author Fri, 01 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0500 I have been an active member of the pro-Israel community for most of my life. First, in community activities, supporting and serving on Jewish Federation boards, American Jewish Committee, and Anti-Defamation League, as well as in public office both at the state level and in the U.S. House of Representatives. No one can legitimately question my ardent and intensely personal support for Israel and for my advocacy for the unequivocal essential relationship between our government and the State of Israel.
