08/14/10 Hey, Jim Himes You Can't Just Say You're Pro-Israel, You Have To Be Pro-Israel

VIDEO: TV Ad Slams Greenwich Resident Jim Himes For Signing A Recent Letter That Accused Israel Of "Collective Punishment" For Enforcing The Gaza Blockade

The Ad which Is to run On NBC's Nightly News blasts Congressman Himes for signing a recent letter .

The the letter asks Obama to pressure Israel to relieve the blockade. It recognizes that the Gaza restrictions are born of "legitimate" fear on the part of Israel, but warns against allowing the blockade to result in "the de facto collective punishment" of Palestinians.

The real question is will Jewish, moderate and conservative Christian voters hold Jim Himes accountable for signing anti-Israel letters or doing anything else to undermine the US-Israel relationship.




FOR THE RECORD:

It is true that Jim Himes signed on to a letter with 52 of his liberal colleagues in the House of Representatives.

President Barack Obama responded to that letter by signing an Executive Order earmarking $20 million U.S. taxpayer dollars to "aid in the resettlement of Gaza refugees."

Recently President Obama announced that an additional $400 million will go to the Palestinian Governing Authority to aid in a "humanitarian crisis".

In a year of record budget deficits, unemployment and foreclosures this is how Congressman Jim Himes and President Obama are spending our tax dollars.

Did you support Obama’s healthcare bill? Jim Himes voted yes. Dan Debicella would repeal it and replace it with a reform that focuses on cutting the cost of healthcare.

The $800 billion stimulus financed by borrowing? Jim Himes voted yes. Dan Debicella wants to repeal the remaining stimulus and replace it with a payroll tax cut.

Cap and trade? Jim Himes yes. Dan Debicella no.

End the secret ballot in union elections? Again, Jim Himes yes. Dan Debicella no.

On Election Day, vote for whoever agrees with you.
