American or American Muslim being vetted if they were agents of Hamas.

Hint, being a Jew who supports Israel's right to exist is not the same thing as being a spy for Israel, but that is exactly the crap that some of those from the left assume, and it is just another version of anti-semitism..

Where have I heard similar bullshit?

Oh, yeah, I remember, "are you now, or have you ever been a member of the communist party?"

It is the same old "when did you start beating your wife".
