Good-night, Chuck.
Controversial Obama nominee Chuck Hagel told a Rutgers audience in 2010 that Israel was “becoming an apartheid state” and accused Hagel of violating UN resolutions.
No wonder Obama likes him.
And, don’t forget…
Hagel also told a panel, “I’m a United States Senator, not an Israeli Senator”

Secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel said Israel is on its way to becoming an apartheid state during an April 9, 2010, appearance at Rutgers University, according to a contemporaneous account by an attendee.
Hagel also accused Israel of violating U.N. resolutions, called for U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas to be included in any peace negotiations, and described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “radical,” according to the source.
Kenneth Wagner, who attended the 2010 speech while a Rutgers University law student, provided the Washington Free Beacon with an email he sent during the event to a contact at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The email is time-stamped April 9, 2010, at 11:37 AM.
