Wasserman-Schultz, perhaps an even bigger partisan hack than former DNC Chair Howard Dean (if that's possible), showed her political ass in a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Clearly she is desperate in trying to effectively stifle debate in the Jewish community, as the Obama Administration and many in the Democrat leadership have a lukewarm, if not outright hostile, relationship with Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. She must know that sooner or later, many in the Jewish community are no longer going to give blind allegiance to a party that continues to spit in the eye of Israel and the American Jewish community.

In an unbelievably tactless act, DNC Chairwoman, Rep Debbie Wasserman-Schultz used a joint delegates meeting between Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanhayu, and the Republican Jewish Coalition and the National Jewish Democratic Council as a human shield for political campaigning in the upcoming Presidential election. With the PM present, Wasserman Schultz point blank asked the RJC to “pledge” they would refrain from using Israel as a campaign issue. Matt Brooks, RJC executive director, likened it to hijacking “these meeting in order to, in front of the prime minister, put a gag order in effect to prevent us from speaking out on Israel.”
It is highly unusual for a sitting DNC chair to try to use a foreign prime minister to pressure another political group to act in a way that she deems appropriate. But this seems to have been what happened yesterday.
Asked about Netanyahu’s reaction, Brooks said Netanyahu was “clearly uncomfortable and at one point said, ‘do you guys want me to leave the room and give you guys some privacy?’”
