"White House names Israel critic to top Mideast post"; "Robert Malley, to become NSC point person on Middle East, has drawn fire for saying the Palestinians weren't at fault for the failed peace talks in 2000."
"Has drawn fire" is Zionist-speak for not being on Israel's side.
The Jerusalem Post pointed to Malley's assertion that the Palestinians had been falsely accused of causing the Camp David talks to "collapse":
"Malley [US negotiator at Camp David] drew some pro-Israel criticism for his published assessment in 2001 of the 2000 Camp David talks, in which he said that the prevailing narrative, that the Palestinians were at fault for their collapse, was a misapprehension and ignored Palestinian concessions and Israeli failures at the talks."
The Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA) added specifics, pointing to Malley's breakthrough 2001 article, co-authored with Hussein Agha, for the New York Review of Books, starting with another Zionist speak term, "some pro-Israel groups":
"Some pro-Israel groups criticized Malley for his 2001 published assessment of the talks [that] was a misapprehension and ignored Palestinian concessions and Israeli failures.
"As the director of the Middle East Program at the International Crisis Group, a think tank, he also met multiple times with Hamas officials and said parties to the peace process must at some stage engage with the terrorist group, which controls the Gaza Strip."
"Some pro-Israel groups" is Zionist-speak that points to two cardinal sins in Lobby ideology -- one, not sticking to the pro-Israel narrative on the 2001 Oslo talks and, two, advocating talks with Hamas.
The Tablet received Malley's 2014 arrival at the Obama White House with the "reassuring" word that Malley would not be dealing with Israel-Palestine issues. Sorry, Tablet, that was then, this is now.
The Israel Lobby, which works diligently to promote the policies of every government Israeli voters put in place, has what my Urban Dictionary calls a "tude," short for "attitude," as in, "a bad attitude."
"Tude" is illustrated further in the saying, "Hey, you really got a tude, dude." The Israel Lobby embeds and enforces that "tude" (attitude) by infiltrating the thought processes, and/or buying off U.S. institutions with "hasbara," the Hebrew word for "propaganda."
It was this pro-Israel "hasbara" that paved the way for the ugly display of anti-Americanism on March 3 when Benjamin Netanyahu brought the U.S. Congress and visitors to their collective feet, on cue, with a campaign speech that delighted most of the crowd, and pleased one particular visitor.
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship described that visitor:
"Everything you need to know about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress Tuesday was the presence in the visitor's gallery of one man -- Sheldon Adelson (above left). The gambling tycoon is the Godfather of the Republican Right.
"The party's presidential hopefuls line up to kiss his assets, scraping and bowing for his blessing, which when granted is bestowed with his signed checks. Data from both the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics and the Center for Public Integrity show that in the 2012 election cycle, Adelson and his wife Miriam ...contributed $150 million to the GOP and its friends...
"But Sheldon Adelson was not only sitting in the House gallery on Tuesday because of the strings he pulls here in the United States. He is also the Daddy Warbucks of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu is yet another of his beneficiaries -- not to mention an ideological soulmate.
