Sheehan reportedly made anti-Israel comments
The mother camped out near President Bush’s Texas ranch reportedly has said her son, who died in the Iraq war, was killed to “benefit Israel.”
Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Baghdad last year, told a Veterans for Peace conference earlier this month that she would tell the president, “You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine.” The Republican Jewish Coalition, which compiled the quotations, says Sheehan has aligned herself with anti-Israel “peace” organizations and several Democratic lawmakers and activists have given her support. The National Jewish Democratic Council questioned the authenticity of Sheehan’s quotes and said she should not be seen as speaking for all Democrats.
Sheehan recently told CNN that she didn’t say her son died for Israel. “I do believe that the Palestinian issue is a hot issue that needs to be solved and it needs to be more fair and equitable, but I never said my son died for Israel,” she said Monday.
