Sen. Hollings defends column labeled "anti-Jewish" by some
Senator Ernest Hollings is defending statements he made in a newspaper opinion article he wrote that said President Bush went to war with Iraq to protect Israel and appease American Jews. Read it on the Senatorâs Site.Hollings, a Democrat, refused to talk with The State newspaper in Columbia about the article on Tuesday, but his office released a letter the retiring senator sent a constituent as a statement. Hollings wrote that he could provide quotes from Jewish leaders in the United States and Israel to support his position. Hollings says characterizations of his comments as "anti-Jewish" are ridiculous. Hollings column appeared in three South Carolina newspapers earlier this month. Abraham Foxman, president of the Anti-Defamation League, asked Hollings to retract his comments. Foghorn Leghorn has his talon in his mouth  Sen. Fritz Hollongs, D-SC |
