Diehard Anti-Palestinian Congress Members Concentrate on Money Bills. (17 Jun 2006)

Previously, they seemed content to offer up a continuous stream of anti-Palestinian bills, resolutions, and amendments designed to burnish their pro-Israel credentials. As writer M.J. Rosenberg observed in the Israel Policy Forum, it hasn't mattered whether the measures are likely to actually become law, whether they advance U.S. policy goals or whether, if implemented, they would benefit Israel. According to him, the point is to go on record as blasting Palestinians in the hope that pro-Israel donors and voters believe that anything that hurts Palestinians helps Israel and that they will reward them accordingly.
