Thoroughly disgusting LTTE attacks immigrant candidate

crossposted from Iowa forum"

Folks - I have a close friend running for the state legislature in the next district over. He is a very good man who immigrated to the US from the middle east 26 years ago. Today we had this truly disgusting LTTE trying to tie him to the middle east mess. It is an old Republican smear. It is a shame this happens in Iowa.



A young Palestinian is kidnapped and killed. Israeli law enforcement finds the perpetrators, and they will go to jail for an extended time. No comment from Mr. Dabeet.

HAMAS fires literally thousands of rockets to Israeli civilians. Not a peep from Mr. Dabeet.

It would be ever so nice to hear him condemn the continual violence committed by Palestinians and the HAMAS organization. Makes for a better balance.

And this is the man who is running for public office. One wonders: Will he take the same one-sided approach to state government issues?
