Chicago pro-Israel rally: Topinka stands up for the Jewish state

Republican candidate for Illinois governor Judy Baar Topinka had this to say at a pro-Israel rally in Chicago yesterday:

When Israel is attacked, we are attacked.

Her Democratic opponent, incumbent Rod Blagojevich, was not at the rally, which shouldn't be a surprise. Last year, Blago appointed a senior member of the notorious anti-Semitic Nation of Islam to the state's hate crime panel. Four Jewish members of the panel did the honorable thing and resigned in protest.
