Democrats Rip Calls to Reshape U.S. Aid to Israel
(Huffington Post) Igor Bobic - Democrats in the Senate aren't thrilled with proposals to link American aid to Israel's behavior toward the Palestinians. "I think that has no support here on Capitol Hill," said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), who serves on the Foreign Relations Committee. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said, "I think that people have to understand the challenges that Israel faces from Gaza." Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), another committee member, said he would oppose "anything that would suggest conditioning aid to Israel and Israel not being able to defend itself and not being able to be secure."
