Dennis Shulman, the Democratic rabbi seeking to upend incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett in New Jersey’s 5th, put out a statement criticizing Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas leaders.
Dennis Shulman’s Statement Concerning Jimmy Carter and Hamas
Demarest, NJ – “As a Democrat and a proud supporter of Israel, I am deeply disturbed by President Carter’s decision to treat terrorist leaders like Khalid Meshaal as if they are dignitaries,” said Shulman. “I support efforts to promote peace, but I see no signs that elevating Hamas before it renounces terrorism and its opposition to the very existence of Israel will help bring about peace.”
