(JTA) Ron Kampeas - More than half of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to President Joe Biden endorsing his policy of backing Israel in its war against Hamas, mounting a firewall against calls to pressure Israel into a ceasefire. The signatories include several outspoken critics of Israel, as well as all 24 Jews in the House Democratic caucus. The letter, dated Friday, was spearheaded by Jerry Nadler and Dan Goldman of New York and Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and was signed by 131 lawmakers.
