Sam Hart devoted hater of Israel:

Arab-Israeli Conflict

The transcripts recount more than a half-century of efforts by American diplomats to bring peace between the Arab and Israeli peoples. Despite the skill and sacrifices of our Foreign Service officers and political appointees, the situation is worse than ever. Men and women Arabists speak frankly about their reasons for pursuing this particular area of concentration and answer the common charge that they are anti-Israel. The political pressures on Department of State personnel regarding support for Israel are spelled out in detail by those who have experienced them.

"The Israeli Foreign Ministry and the intelligence service keep a dossier on every substantive officer in the embassy. Pretty soon you're put in one of the categories that they classify in: friend of Israel, or not friend of Israel. And not friend of Israel means that you're not actively supporting them on everything that they consider to be important. I was asked many times when I was in Israel, “Well, whose side are you on?” (as the chief economic officer out there). I said, “I'm on the side of the United States of America. That's where my allegiances are. I'm neither pro-Israeli, nor anti-Israeli. I'm pro-American.” That is interpreted as being anti-Israeli. Everything you send back to Washington, no matter how classified, has a very strong chance of finding its way into the Israelis’ hands. If you write it, you'll be identified to the Israelis as the author of the piece. And if they don't like it, they go after you, and frequently are successful in having you out of there."
--Samuel F. Hart (economic counselor, Tel Aviv, 1977-1980)

More on slimey Sam Hart:

SAMUEL F. HART


Enrichment Lecturer Holland America, Radisson, Crystal

Samuel Hart graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1955 and subsequently served as a paratroop captain in the U.S. Army. He was trained as a political economist at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Vanderbilt, and the JFK School at Harvard. His 27-year Foreign Service career included posting in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. He was U.S. Ambassador to Ecuador from 1982 to 1985. Since retiring from the Foreign Service, Ambassador Hart has been active as a international business consultant and as a frequent speaker at colleges, World Affairs Councils, and for the last ten years on several top cruise lines. Current U.S. foreign policy is his main topic, but because of his varied background, he often lectures on other global issues including terrorism, international trade and development, and cultural/religious conflicts. These are heavy and controversial subjects, but he treats them with humor and encourages the expression of contrary views

Topics: Morality and American foreign policy; the foreign policy of George W. Bush; Is peace possible in the Middle East?; the erosion of democracy in Latin America; America’s future role in Asia; how are we doing in the war on terror?

Every time I read of crapfests such as this I remember similar smarmy whinathons during the Viet-Nam war where the very evolved gathered to articulate their nuanced view that the commies should be let win. Those sob's helped stab us in the back then and this bunch is trying to do the same thing. may their names and memory be obliterated.
