Connecticut’s Lamont dines with Peres

Ned Lamont, Connecticut’s Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, dined with Shimon Peres.

Lamont, who narrowly defeated Sen. Joe Lieberman in an Aug. 8 primary, attended a small, private dinner with the Israeli deputy prime minister hosted last Friday in New York City by a mutual friend.

....

Republican Jewish activists have attacked Lamont for his association with figures such as the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and have alleged that his support comes from the wing of the Democratic Party least friendly to Israel.
