Bob Turner, the Republican candidate campaigning to replace disgraced Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, picked up a crucial endorsement last week when Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind threw his support to him. Hikind is the former leader of the the Jewish Defense League (JDL), which the FBI lists as a terror organization. He was also a confidant of the fanatical Israeli settler leader Meir Kahane, who called for the “slaughter” of Palestinians. Under Kahane’s direction, Hikind operated a front group with the JDL cadre Victor Vancier (aka Chaim Ben Pesach), who served 10 years in prison for carrying out numerous firebomb attacks on innocent people, and openly contemplated killing the renowned Palestinian professor Edward Said. According to journalists Michael Karpin and Ina Friedman, “Hikind had been suspected [by the FBI] of similar activities” including a string of six bombings against Arab-American targets across the United States.

What's another Zionist in the congress. That house is chalkful of Zionist extremist nutters.

Anthony Weiner's district (NY-9) has the second largest jewish population outside of Israel (Borough Park). No one with a non-interventionist foreign policy or who does not lean zionist politically will ever win that district, ever.

Bob Turner looks to be very fiscally conservative, which is a lot better than a professional community organizer type like David Weprin.

The race has been a pure referendum on Obama's treatment of Israel. That's why a (D) like Hikind (btw his wikipedia page is a little concerning) and Mayor Koch crossed party lines to support Turner. It really has less to do with David Weprin (the opponent) than Obama.

That is troubling. The story of America's tragedy and the results.
