‘Matchless champion of the Jewish people': Israeli, US officials mourn Joe Lieberman

[IsraelTimes] Allies and opponents pay tribute to the former Connecticut senator, whose career in public service blazed a path for religious Jews in American politics.

Also a former Democratic vice presidential candidate (with Al Gore in 2000), followed by becoming a former Democrat in 2006, when the Democratic party made it clear they preferred their Jews considerably more liberal and considerably less Jewish. Connecticut's voters, however, liked Joe just fine, and overrode the Democrats to send him back to the Senate as an Independent.

Israeli officials joined their US counterparts in paying tribute to longtime US senator and first Jewish vice presidential nominee Joseph Lieberman, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 82.

from complications following a fall, it was reported.

In one of his last interviews released just last week, Lieberman heavily criticized US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for the speech he gave on the Senate floor calling for early elections in Israel.

Calling the speech “outrageous,” Lieberman accused Schumer of “crossing a diplomatic red line,” and dismissed the speech as “a case of a high elected official in the US taking advantage of a friend.”

#2 Yes, Joe was more of a "cut your throat so my life will be easier" champion of the Jews.

#3 One does wonder if he regretted returning to the Democratic Party when he retired, or endorsing Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden for president.

#4 Of course he didn't. Anything bad that happened was on the Clintons and Obama. Not on him.

Probably my only problem with Judaism.
