When you read the word "controversial" in the newspaper, just remember that what it really means is that the reporter disagrees with the idea:
During the 2000 election campaign, pro-Israel groups were among the biggest contributors to U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch of Florida. The Fort Lauderdale Democrat got $23,400, more than he received from groups representing education and health care interests.Controversial? The resolution passed, 352-21.But Deutsch says the pro-Israel money had nothing to do with his May 2 vote for a controversial House resolution expressing unequivocal support for Israel.
