Yes, Pelosi is personally pro-Israel, yet she also supported Hilliard and McKinney to the hilt in their primary fights, giving more from her PAC to Hilliard than any other candidate, despite their criticisms of Israel. As a progressive leader, she supports other progressives regardless of their stance on Israel.

Why folks are looking to tear apart the most leftwing person ever to lead the House Democrats is beyond me. The rightwing is pulling out the knives to do her in. They don't need more help.
