Reporter: A Heroine Even Liberal Jews Love
At the pro-Israel group AIPAC’s conference Monday, “there was one question on the minds” of the 18,000 attendees, reports Armin Rosen at Tablet: “Where does the US ambassador to the UN fall in the presidential line of succession?” Rosen says Nikki Haley is “rapidly approaching folk hero status in the pro-Israel world” — even among these activists, a majority of whom are “liberals uneasy with the current administration.” Why the love? Haley has delivered “tangible results” for Israel supporters, helping to kill an anti-Israel UN report, for example, and blasting both the Iran nuke deal and the Team Obama’s decision not to veto a UN resolution on settlements. Haley got “frequent” applause at the event, but the “crowd would have given her the biggest cheers . . . no matter what.”
