In March, in the United States, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Jewish National Fund against the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.

now not such big fans of chuck hagel. there was a time, joe made this point yesterday on the show, when chuck hagel s brand of republican reform policy and national security outlook was the mainstream of the party. he was vetted for vice president for by dick cheney for george w. bush in 2000. he was enough in the mainstream of republican thinking not that long ago, the last republican administration considered for the vice presidential slot. the party has moved far to the right. that s part of what s happened and chuck hagel has not moved with it. part of what s happening, some sense a lot of republicans talked about the israel question, a personal pique in the case of some people and john mccain may be one of them. really? joe made that point yesterday. there s some people in washington who personally don t like chuck hagel. they may actually like him personally but he rubbed some people the wrong way in the course of doing politics in d.c. what do you think is going on here wi
