But he is a Holocaust survivor & that counts for a lot in the Jewish community. Many people think of Lantos as a hero. Palestinians think of Yasser Arafat as a resistance hero though some of the things he believed were reprehensible. This is by no means to excuse Lantos' views just to explain the regard w. which he is held in some circles. I don’t like some of Lantos’ views esp. about Israel.

He is a hypocrite, a war-mongerer, one of the strongest and loudest voices in the "Israel is always right" crowd. He opposed US aid to Lebanon after Israel's assault. One wonders if Wexler knows who he's hanging out with. ellen Tom Lantos, whom Wexler puts in a group of like-minded people to him, is one of the most reprehensible people in the Congress.
