Colin Cambell: Mr. Halloran said he received the “personal endorsements” of Israeli elected officials, including Danny Danon, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset; Yaakov Katz, a member of the Knesset and leader of the National Union Party; Yuval Steinitz, the Minister of Finance; and Rabbi Nissim Zeev, founder of the Shas Party.
Mr. Halloran’s Democratic opponent, Assemblywoman Grace Meng, is unlikely to be especially impressed, however. Just a week ago she slammed him in the Jewish Week for supporting Ron Paul’s quixotic bid for the Oval Office.
