Hikind: "The Democratic Party has a
serious Israel problem.'
By Adam Kredo
A prominent Jewish Democratic lawmaker
in New York City is launching a petition to force Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.)
to abandon his support for Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) to assume control of
the Democratic National Committee, the Washington Free Beacon has
exclusively learned.
Dov Hikind, a 34-year Democratic New
York state assemblyman and leading pro-Israel voice, disclosed to the Free
Beacon late Monday that he has started a petition meant to pressure Schumer
into pulling his public support for Ellison, who has long been accused of
holding anti-Israel positions that fall out of the mainstream Democratic party.
Electing Ellison to head the DNC would
send a message that the Democrats have embraced anti-Israel policies and no
longer care about being a centrist party in touch with mainstream America,
according to Hikind, who lashed out against Schumer and Ellison in a
wide-ranging interview with the Free Beacon.
