[Peace-discuss] JNS editor-in-chief: Eliot Engel is "more Likud than D or R"

[Robert Naiman]

Look how the editor-in-chief of the *Jewish News Syndicate* describes Eliot
Engel.

Such a person is the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the
principal spokesperson for House Democrats on U.S. foreign policy in the
Middle East, wielding decisive influence over what measures pertaining to
U.S. policy in the Middle East reach the House floor? And a member of the
"Congressional Progressive Caucus"? Really?

[...]
Nor is Engel like many Democrats who oppose Israeli policies while still
avowing their support of the country. Indeed, his positions resemble more
those of the Likud Party than the Democrats or Republicans, making his
continued tenure at Foreign Affairs a crucial matter for friends of the
Jewish state.
[...]

- Can pro-Israel Democrats hold off an AOC clone?
The Left's effort to take down New York Rep. Eliot Engel will be a test
case for the ability of the party establishment to keep a pro-Israel
veteran in a majority minority district.
