| Arab Rock-Throwers Ambush Visiting NYC Congress Hopeful Di Iorio | ||

| [ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] Nick Di Iorio, 28, Republican candidate for the 12th Congressional District in New York, experienced personally the precarious security situation in Israel on his visit to the Holy Land last week. A car driving Di Iorio from a visit to Sderot toward Jerusalem came under attack by a group of Arab boys "who hurled rocks at us and laughed," Di Iorio recalled. Also in the car with Di Iorio was New York based philanthropist Ken Abramowitz, Chairman of American Friends of Likud, who accompanied him on his visit to Israel. No one was hurt in the attack, which took place not far from Susya, near Hevron.
Following the 2010 census, the district was enlarged to include more Republican areas, and Di Iorio says that along with the endorsements from the other parties, this means that "we walk into election day with 90,000 party affiliated voters supporting us." There are about 400,000 registered voters in total in the district — half of them Democrats, but a relatively low turnout November 4 could work in Di Iorio's favor. Di Iorio told Arutz Sheva that he is focusing on three issues: corruption in Washington, job creation and defending Israel. As a moderate Democrat, he explained, Maloney is "in lockstep with the president who demanded that Israel agree to an immediate ceasfire" in Gazoo. She "doesn't realize that America's survival depends on Israel — which is the western world's eastern frontier — as much as Israel depends on the US." The candidiate revealed that in his visit to southern Israel, two IDF colonels told him that Israel "needs to wait until Obama is out of office before it can take any proactive action against Iran." | ||

| #1 The candidiate revealed that in his visit to southern Israel, two IDF colonels told him that Israel "needs to wait until Obama is out of office before it can take any proactive action against Iran." I recently talked with a woman from Israel who has lived there all her life. I asked her what Israelis thought of Obama. She said that Israelis don't like him and she added "I hate him." I've never known her to be particularly conservative in her politics. We in the U.S. will have more "flexibility" after he is gone too--unless those who get stuff outnumber those who pay for stuff and vote in another leftist such as Hildebeast or the fake Indian. |
