Winograd: Anti-Zionism for Congress

Democrat Marcy Winograd is primarying Congresswoman Jane Harman in California. Winograd, who is Jewish, is making the race all about the special relationship with Israel. She is accusing Harman of dual loyalty.

“I’m not clear who Jane Harman represents in Congress – the people of her district or a right-wing faction in a foreign government?” says Winograd. “When elected to Congress, I will represent the people of this district and the interests of the United States.”

Winograd's press release:
Winograd’s opponent in the 36th congressional district was previously investigated by the FBI for allegedly using her influence in Congress to get spying charges dropped against American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) analysts. Harman voted for resolutions in support of the Israeli siege of Gaza and invasion of Lebanon and was a featured speaker at the recent AIPAC conference.

This is important because we see someone invoking AIPAC, not as a way to shore up Zionist votes, but as a liability. We should pay close attention to this primary fight (and I would go as far as to suggest lending support to Harman's defeat).
