Pro-Israel Groups Pro-Bolton
Fox News
Pro-Israel groups are pressuring New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton to abandon the Democrats' filibuster of U.N. ambassador John Bolton, who now has the firm support of the Jewish community. Both senators voted to block Bolton's confirmation last year, and Democratic leaders have refused to rule out another filibuster when his nomination is brought before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee again Thursday.
But the American Jewish Congress, which is behind Bolton, says the war in the Middle East should trump party politics. And the president of the Zionist Organization of America tells the New York Sun he believes Schumer and Clinton are "seriously reconsidering" their opposition.
