I’ve just written this remembrance of Tom Lantos for TPMCafe.
His shift on Israel-Palestine negotiations and American engagement with Iran and the Middle East writ large can’t be called a full-on conversion, but his shift in a progressive direction was significant and should be remembered.
I once talked to Lantos about Senator Chuck Hagel’s “no false choice” approach to the Middle East and the powerful House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman told me that Hagel was on exactly the right course.
