Graham is mistaken if he thinks he would ever get away with having all Jews on a cabinet. The anti-Semitism that courses though the right would never allow it any more than it would be allowed on the left for the same reason. He is also mistaken to conflate pro-Israel support with garnering votes from the Jewish community, but like his finance comment, it is another example of the "soft anti-Semitism" oh so popular among way too many; much like the inclusion of the Gallup poll. It is articles like this that perpetuate anti-Semitic myths.
