In addition to concisely cataloguing lots of better-known Hagelian slams on Israel and\/or Jews, Murdock shows that Hagel even snubbed Jews in his own home state while a senator:  \u201cDuring his last year in office, we knew he was not going to run again, he never returned any of our calls,\u201d Jewish activist Gary Javitch told the Algemeiner website on December 21. \u201cI have always gotten callbacks, even as a turn-down.\u201d  \u201cHe was not the most responsive politician in Nebraska to me personally at the Jewish Press and to the Jewish community as a whole,\u201d said Carol Katzman, the former editor of the Omaha Jewish Press. Nebraska\u2019s representatives otherwise \u201cwere all very responsive,\u201d she said. \u201cIt didn\u2019t really matter what their party affiliation was, if we were soliciting them for an interview or a greeting ad for Rosh Hashanah or Passover.\u201d However, \u201cHagel\u2019s office never even responded. . . . We would make repeated calls\u201d that went unanswered, she added. \u201cIt was pretty obvious that he and his staff were dismissive.\u201d Katzman concluded: \u201cHagel was the only one we have had in Nebraska who basically showed the Jewish community that he didn\u2019t give a damn about the Jewish community or any of our concerns.\u201d  Are  Hagel\u2019s words anti-Semitic? Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them what you think.  As Murdock is anything but a neocon, this shows, again, that the objections to Hagel are anything but limited to one subset of the conservative movement.\" target=\"_blank\">devastating litany<\/a> of Chuck Hagel&#8217;s less-than-kind remarks and actions with regard to Jews and Israel.
