Barack Obama's invidious mindset on Israel and the Jews is demonstrated by him AGAIN

Yet in February of this year, when Congressman Fazio and senior members of the Democratic House leadership, including Majority Whip David Bonior (D-MI-10), had the opportunity to vote for a resolution condemning the antisemitic, anti-Catholic, hate-mongering rantings of Nation of Islam leader Khalid Abdul Muhammad, they merely voted "present". Congressman Fazio and Congressman Bonior chose not to stand with 361 other House members to condemn a clear example of hatred and bigotry.

In 2002, David Bonior was one of only 21 Congressmen who opposed H.R. 392, which publicly affirmed Congress's support of Israel's right to self-defense and called for the dismantling of the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure.

In 2006, Bonior was appointed to manage the Jonathan Edward presidential campaign, sparking expressions of concern by American Jewish leaders. The executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Malcolm Hoenlein, called it "disappointing" that Edwards "chose somebody whose position is at such variance from his, specifically on Israel."
