Pro-Israel former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the
fact that John Kerry made no reference to Israel in his
convention speech raises questions about Kerry's support for the
Jewish State. "I have no real assurance of where Kerry is going
to be on Israel," Mayor Giuliani said. (August 2, 2004)

from backers of the mullah
