Jews slam New York mayor for backing AIPAC in speech
A group of nearly 60 prominent American Jewish leaders have strongly criticized New York's new mayor Bill de Blasio for pledging to be a loyal ally of the pro-Israel lobbying group, AIPAC. ● Last week, de Blasio praised Israel at a speech for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel lobby group in the US, assuring its members that “part of my job description is to be a defender of Israel.” The mayor asserted that strong support for Israel is “elemental to being an American, because there is no greater ally on earth, and that’s something we can say proudly.”
