Catholic repug Rep chastises American Jews for not being outraged at President Obama

Republican lawmaker says US Jews should be more pro-Israel
By Jordan Fabian - 05/26/11 06:45 AM ET

A freshman House Republican on Wednesday singled out "most" liberal American Jews for not being sufficiently pro-Israel.

Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.) questioned why U.S. Jews have not expressed more outrage over President Obama's demand that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process be based around the 1967 borders, with mutually agreeable land swaps.

"The short answer is that most American Jews are liberal, and most American liberals side with the Palestinians and vague notions of 'peace' instead of with Israel’s well-being and security," Walsh wrote in an op-ed for the conservative Daily Caller.

Walsh, who is Catholic, added that the American Jewish community should be more pro-Israel.

2. Hey Joe, where was your church during the Holocaust?
Where was the outrage then?

3. I always find most anti-semites will make statements about supporting Israel ...
while denigrating Jews in the next breath.
