NJDC’s CEO, Ira N. Forman, gives Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), who is the House Minority Whip and the only Jewish Republican in Congress, some advice in The Huffington Post following Cantor leading a trip of GOP Members to Israel where Cantor took the opportunity of foreign travel to criticize U.S. foreign policy in the print edition of The Jerusalem Post.

Here was Forman’s advice to Cantor:

1. Keep the partisan politics confined to home;


2. Before you predict any meaningful gains for Republicans among Jewish voters it would be advisable for you to review similar false predictions you and other Jewish Republicans have been making over the last 25 years;


3. Focus your “pro-Israel” energies on “converting” the majority of your own GOP caucus that has been voting against the critical foreign aid bill—a significant portion of which goes to the State of Israel.
