Champ appoints Hamas Adviser to Senior Director at the NSC.
[Atlas Shrugs] President Champ has named Hamas adviser Robert O. Malley the senior director at the National Security Council (NSC). You may recall that Malley was foreign policy adviser to then-presidential candidate Champ in 2007, and was fired from his campaign team in 2008 because of his notorious ties to Hamas, the PLO and other jihadist, anti-Israel groups.Atlas readers are long familiar with this subversive jihad operative. As early as 2007 and 2008 (and repeatedly throughout the campaign and in my book), I warned Atlas readers of the troubling relationship between Robert O. Malley and Champ. Robert Malley told the NY Times that he had regularly been in contact with Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the State Department. [Malley]was part of the American negotiating team that dealt with Yasser Arafat at Camp David. He has presented a revisionist history of those negotiations since then: presenting a view that blames Israel for the failures of the negotiations. His version has been radically at odds with the views of Americans and Israelis (including the views of American Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross-also an adviser to Obama- and President Clinton). He has spent years representing the Palestinian point of view, co-writing a series of anti-Israel articles with Hussein Agha-a former Arafat adviser. Palestinian advocate. These have appeared in the New York Review of Books a publication that has served as a platform for a slew of anti-Israel advocates from Tony Judt to the aforementioned George Soros to the authors of the Israeli Lobby book Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer. Malley has also called settlements colonies implicitly condemning Israel as a colonial state. His writings have been so critical of Israel that the media-monitoring group CAMERA has a dossier on him. In a July 2001 op-ed (titled Fictions About the Failure at Camp David) which was published in the New York Times, Robert Malley (whose family, as noted above, had close ties to Yasser Arafat) alleged that Israeli not Palestinian inflexibility had caused the previous years Camp David peace talks (brokered by Bill Clinton) to fail. This was one of several controversial articles Malley has written some he co-wrote with Hussein Agha, a former adviser to Arafat blaming Israel and exonerating Arafat for that failure. Pen and phone busily at work. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-02-20 |
