This is odd. The USA Kadima Party website plagiarized the Texas Democratic party platform and website. Their website developer has been fired for this. Suspicions were aroused because of its generic nature with little specific Israeli information.
New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, first brought the website similarities to light. Hikind told WND he thought something was "a little off" upon browsing the Kadima USA site.Google searches quickly revealed the source. The Kadima Party was developed quickly by former Prime Minister Sharon in late 2005. The Texas Democratic Party platform and site was developed in 2004.
"Things seemed very generic, almost like what should be descriptions of an American political party," said Hikind.
The right wing news site which reported the story was threatened by a spokesperson of the Kadima USA for revealing the plagiarism but that threat has been condemned by Kadima Israel.
The Texas Democratic Party should be proud that others want to claim its platform. This story would have been even odder if they had copied the John Birch Society freak show which is the Texas GOP website and platform. Many Republicans when they are read the specifics of the Texas GOP 2004 and 2006 platforms quickly disavow them.
