Well... in an exclusive interview with JTA's Ron Kampeas, Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that Israel deserved the spanking it's been receiving from the Obama adminsitration:
The administration had, I think, real justification for being upset because a process was supposed to be in place that would keep it from being blindsided, and that process failed and once again the U.S. was blindsided and the Israelis have to get this right. They've got to put in place a system that keeps this from happening."
It's worth noting that, as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Berman has taken the lead in the push for new, tougher Iran sanctions and is a staunch supporter of Israel, with strong ties to AIPAC.
Another Jewish Democrat -- Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland and a member of the Foreign Relations Committee -- also has come out with criticism of Israel. Here's his statement:
“There is no excuse for Israel’s announcement of plans to expand housing units in East Jerusalem when Vice President Biden was on the ground meeting with the highest levels of the Israeli government. While the Vice President was on a mission to restart the peace process, such an announcement was a mistake.

New Ways and means Chair Stark anti Jew
1991: Stark singled out "Jewish colleagues" for blame for the Persian Gulf War, referring to then-Rep. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.) as "Field Marshal Solarz in the pro-Israel forces."

Just two in a long line of “gaffes”.
Today Stark is an Advisory Committe member of Progressive Majority, a political networking group whose aim is to elect as many leftwing political candidates as possible. Fellow members include such notables as Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, Peter DeFazio, Rosa DeLauro, Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., Jan Schakowsky, Hilda Solis, John Conyers Jr., Lane Evans, Bob Filner, Barney Frank, Raul Grijalva, Luis Gutierrez, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, Jerrold Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Henry Waxman, Lynne Woolsey, Eleanor Holmes Norton, John Corzine, and Diane Watson.
Stark has cultivated a reputation among his congressional colleagues for possessing a hot temper. On one occasion in 1990, for instance, he openly described the George H.W. Bush administration's Secretary of Health and Human Services, an African American named Dr. Louis Sullivan, as “a disgrace to his race and his profession” for opposing Stark’s proposals for socialized medicine. This prompted Sullivan to retort: “I guess I should feel ashamed because Congressman Stark thinks I am not a ‘good Negro’ … [and he is] not ready to accept independent thinking by a black man.”
In 1991 Stark impugned his “Jewish colleagues” for supporting the Persian Gulf War. He referred to New York congressman Stephen Solarz, who co-sponsored the Gulf War Authorization Act, as “Field Marshal Solarz in the pro-Israel forces.”
During a private 1995 meeting with Connecticut congresswoman Nancy Johnson, Stark called Johnson a “whore for the insurance industries” and suggested that her knowledge about health care was restricted to what she had heard during “pillow talk” with her husband, who was a physician.
In 1999 Stark attacked conservative California state welfare director Eloise Anderson (who is black and a former welfare mother), saying she would “kill children if she had her way.” Anderson’s sin was to be an advocate of welfare reform.
During a 2003 legislative mark-up session on pension funds, Stark hurled epithets such as “fruitcake” and **&^%#@ ( I blanked this one out: Ed) at Republican colleagues.
During debate on the House floor on October 18, 2007, Stark made the following remarks to Texas Republican Joe Barton:
“Republicans sure don't care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement.”
A professed Unitarian, Stark has made no secret of his hatred for conservative religious belief. He routinely attacks Republicans for their “blind allegiance to the Holy Rollers of the Christian right” and “the messianic Pharisees of the religious right.”
