Jewish lobby (specifically The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations) reports that Hagel, intimidated by jewish lobby, apologized to jewish lobby for calling them a jewish lobby and for saying they intimidate people.

I particularly hope Senator Hagel will clarify and explain his comments about the “Jewish Lobby” that were hurtful to many in the Jewish Community.

Yes, to falsely and maliciously suggest that there exists a so-called “jewish lobby” is very hurtful to its non-existent members.

The League previously expressed concerns with the Senator’s record on Israel and Iran, and said of his record relating to Israel and the U.S.-Israel relationship that it was “at best disturbing and at worst, very troubling,”

That’s quite some open country. He has a record that ranges from disturbing all the way to troubling. Sounds like my high school transcript. I would wager that if there were a “jewish lobby”—as of course there is not—that it would take a dim view of Mr. Hagel’s nomination. Possibly even stating so openly on one of its very own websites—if of course one existed.

How’s this Tan,

“Two jews, three opinions, one concern.”
