Chuck Hagel, Knifed in the Back by the Lobby | Tikun Olam - Dec. 28, 2012 |

Many were whispering that Chuck Hagel's chances of becoming secretary of defense had died, what does it matter whether it's the Israel lobby or the Jewish lobby?  When you get a knife in the back, it doesn't matter who's putting the shiv into you.  In Chuck Hagel's case, he's getting stabbed in the back by Aipac and its true believers.  It's an unsightly, unsavory bunch including Likudists like Jennifer Rubin, Brett Stephens, Bill Kristol, Eli Lake, and Jewish apparatchiks like Abe Foxman.
