Scholar critical of Weiner’s Pro-Israel views hopes he steps down
As the parade of Congressman Anthony Weiner’s self-love skin shots continues to tramp across the internet, University of Michigan foreign-policy big thinker Juan Cole says never mind the man’s sad digital life; Weiner’s take on the Israel-Palestinian conflict is much more relevant and lamentable .
“Weiner is so blinded by his allegiance to Israel and so studied in his ignorance of the Middle East that he has played a uniformly sinister role in that aspect of foreign policy. If he were replaced by, say, an up-and-coming Dominican-American politician from Queens who had some sympathy with Arabs, that would be all to the good.”

At his blog, Cole compiles a list of the “Top Ten Things Anthony Weiner has Said that are Worse than Sexting” related to the Middle East.
