The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has called upon President Barack Obama to rescind his appointment of what it said was an anti-Israel, anti-Iran sanctions politician. Obama wants to appoint former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska to the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.
ZOA says Hagel, who is intended to co-chair the board, has a long and troubling record of hostility to Israel which has been criticized by both the Democratic and Republican Jewish coalitions.
