Via Free Beacon: New York Times Ed Board Member Questions Whether GOP More Loyal to Israel than United States

A member of the New York Times editorial board suggested that pro-Israel Republicans were more loyal to Israel than to the United States on Friday.

“Should loyalty b 2 US or Israel? [U.S. and Israel’s] interests not always same: GOP, in Shift, Demand Lockstep Support for Israel,”tweeted Carol Giacomo, who covers foreign affairs issues for the editorial board. Giacomo linked to an article originally headlined “Republicans, in Shift, Demand Lockstep Support for Israel” that was published in the Times on Friday. The article’s headline was later changed to “For G.O.P., Support for Israel Becomes New Litmus Test.”
