What Gravel Should Grapple

April 30, 2007 at 9:05 am

Mike Gravel speaks to the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington Tuesday morning.

At last week’s Democratic presidential candidates debate in South Carolina, moderator Brian Williams asked this of Barack Obama:

What are America’s three most important allies around the world?

Obama did not mention Israel, prompting this Williams follow-up:

I didn’t hear you mention Israel, and I ask because there is a quote attributed to your name. You said recently, “No one is suffering more than the Palestinian people.”

Perhaps Gravel will remind his Tuesday audience of that exchange?
