"National Jewish Democratic Coalition (NJDC) Executive Director Ira Forman... issued a rare criticism of a Democratic representative, Jim Moran of Virginia.


"Moran reportedly told Tikkun Magazine that the pro-Israel lobby pushed for the war in Iraq, saying, 'AIPAC is the most powerful lobby and has pushed this war from the beginning … because they are so well organized, and their members are extraordinarily powerful - most of them are quite wealthy - they have been able to exert power.'


"Forman called on Moran to retract the 'irresponsible' and 'dangerous' false statements."
