George Mitchell, who handled the Northern Ireland peace process, is being eyed by the Obama administration to be a top diplomatic envoy to the Middle East. In 2001, Mitchell produced a report on the Middle East which recommended that Israel freeze all its settlement activities. Without a freeze, a cessation of violence would be “particularly hard to sustain,” he argued. While Mitchell’s impending appointment is earning a great deal of praise, the Anti-Defamation League’s Abe Foxman complains the diplomat is too fair and balanced for the post:<BR/><BR/>“Sen. Mitchell is fair. He’s been meticulously even-handed,” said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. “But the fact is, American policy in the Middle East hasn’t been ‘even handed’ — it has been supportive of Israel when it felt Israel needed critical U.S. support.”<BR/><BR/>“So I’m concerned,” Foxman continued. “I’m not sure the situation requires that kind of approach in the Middle East.”</I><BR/><BR/>http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/21/mitchell-foxman-envoy/<BR/><BR/>If there is a more odious sack of shit other than the ADL's Abe Foxman, I am at a loss to find that clunker in the toilet bowl.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'd better check inside the plunger, perhaps a Zionist turd got stuck there, hmm?<BR/><BR/>Let's see how far MItchell makes it in the nomination process.<BR/><BR/>If he does survive and goes in front of the Senate for confirmation, he'll be savaged by traitorous US Senators on the committee that are loyal to Israel, not the USA.Greg Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110469235589724960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-49175884910927113492009-01-22T10:20:00.000-05:002009-01-22T10:20:00.000-05:00Greg, you guys are great!

The body, known as the<B>National Information Directorate</B>, was set up eight months ago following recommendations from an Israeli inquiry into the 2006 Lebanon war. Its role is to deal with hasbara - meaning, in Hebrew, "explanation", and referring variously to information, spin, and propaganda. The directorate's chief, Yarden Vatikai, said: "The hasbara apparatus needed a body that would co-ordinate its agencies, coordinate the messages and become a platform for co-operation between all the agencies that deal with communication relations and public diplomacy."<BR/><BR/>The directorate acts across ministries and decides key messages on a daily basis. Of its core messages for the media, there has been the advice <B>that Hamas broke the ceasefire agreements with Israel;</B> that Israel's objective is the defence of its population; and that Hamas is a terror organisation targeting Israeli civilians. "In general, we think we are succeeding in getting the message across," said Vatikai. Israeli officials have also enjoyed a clear edge with coverage. An Israeli foreign ministry assessment of eight hours of coverage across international broadcast media reported that Israeli representatives got 58 minutes of airtime while the Palestinians got only 19 minutes. ...</I><BR/><BR/>http://saltspringnews.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=18647<BR/><BR/>Eight months ago?
