Perhaps that might be a bit of an, er, Achilles’ heel for most political campaigns. From the Jerusalem Post:

“The imprisoned global terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez – better known as the notorious Carlos the Jackal – issued on Monday a campaign endorsement of the Anti-Zionist Party by telephone hookup from the French prison Poissy to 300 supporters in Paris.

The anti-Israel party is fielding candidates in the June 7 elections for the European Parliament.

Carlos expressed his ‘solidarity’ with the views of the head of the Anti-Zionist Party, French comedian Dieudonné Mbala Mbala. The Anti-Zionist Party platform, calls for an end to ‘Zionist interference in the nation’s public affairs,’ and a rebuke of ‘politicians who apologize for Zionism.’”

Carlos, a Venezuelan-born leftist revolutionary, joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1970. He’s serving a life sentence in France for the murders of three people in a 1975 raid on OPEC headquarters in Vienna.
