Posted by David Bernstein: A Real "Likudnik": http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_11_02-2008_11_08.shtml#1226006490
[1]Haaretz: "[Rahm Emanuel] is the son of a Jerusalem-born pediatrician who was a member of the Irgun (Etzel or IZL), a militant Zionist group that operated in Palestine between 1931 and 1948." Etzel, of course, was the predecessor to the Herut party led my Menachem Begin, which became the dominant member of the coalition of parties that became "Likud." Just imagine the outrage of Juan Cole, Joe Klein, etc. if such an individual had been made chief of staff in a Republican administration! But remember, it's only Republican Jews who get accused of being dual loyalty "Likudniks", regardless of whether they have any ideological or other connections to Likud.
