Black, Jewish congressmen to discuss support for Israel today (Shlomo Shamir, June 20, 2002, Ha'Aretz)

Black and Jewish congressman are planning to meet today in Washington to discuss a joint action plan that aims to halt the erosion of support for Israel by black congressmen.

Last month, a series of congress votes expressing support for Israel revealed how deep the erosion has gone when 20 members of the black caucus voted in favor--but 11 voted against and the rest abstained.
