ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Mideast politics have usurped traffic congestion and job creation as the hot topic in an upcoming municipal election, with a powerful GOP operative accusing a city council candidate of pro-Hezbollah and anti-Israel activities.
A letter by former state Republican Party chairman Shawn Steel has been circulating on the Internet accusing Syrian immigrant Belal "Bill" Dalati of helping sponsor an anti-Israel rally and associating with "zany left wing groups."
"There is much more to learn about Bill Dalati," Steel wrote in the letter. "Dalati would be a poor choice, who focuses on American's (sic) enemies in the Middle East. You have a chance to do something about it."
