Malley has seemingly followed in his father's footsteps: he represents the next generation of anti-Israel activism. Through his writings he has served as a willing propagandist, bending the truth (and more) to serve an agenda that is marked by anti-Israel bias; he heads a group of Middle East policy advisers for a think-tank funded (in part) by anti-Israel billionaire activist George Soros; and now is on the foreign policy staff of a leading Presidential contender. Each step up the ladder seems to be a step closer towards his goal of empowering radicals and weakening the ties between American and our ally Israel.

Worth asking about Obama's relationship with the good Professor. Does he condemn Edward Said, haven't heard it yet.
If not what does he think of Professor Said's choice of recreation, stoning Jews. OK, the IDF won't fire back, still shame on Columbia. Shame on Obama unless he speaks out.
Looks like fun. Something else they have in common, a tolerance for racism, anti-Americanism, and genocide. And yes, I know he's "denounced" his pastor's advocacy of a Hamas solution in the middle east, which refusing to denounce his mentor.
I have been unable to live an uncommitted or suspended life. I have not hesitated to declare my affiliation with an extremely unpopular cause.
Said or Obama?
Go to war with Israel, that's not outlandish, I'll hire her. Certainly doesn't approach calling Hillary a monster.
What we dont need is some kind of early warning mechanism there, what we need is a willingness to put something on the line in helping the situation. Putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing -- or investing, I think, more than sacrificing -- billions of dollars, not in servicing Israels military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a mammoth protection force, not of the old Rwanda kind, but a meaningful military presence. Because it seems to me at this stage (and this is true of actual genocides as well, and not just major human rights abuses, which were seen there), you have to go in as if youre serious, you have to put something on the line.
BTW, her book on genocide is very good. Perhaps academics should remain as academics, rather than entering the policy field.
Didn't realize he actively engaged in throwing stones at the IDF.
Obama is one of them, a Trojan Horse.
BTW, Powers also has a Soros connection. At a Soros sponsored conference she freaked at the media’s refusal to cover the war crimes committed in the Jenin Massacre. Just cause they’d already been debunked.
So, how does Samantha Power define which people are oppressed? Does she think that the Iranians are oppressed, how ‘bout the N. Koreans? Most of the leftists love Kim Jong IL.
That’s him in the last post, stoning IDF troops from Lebanon. Great fun!
So, which do you think came first, the Soros connection or the Rev. JWright? My guess is that Wright saw the potential in Obama as the ultimate political twofer (looks Black/speaks White)and Wright’s connections put Obama where he is today, somewhere along the way, attracting the attention of George Soros.
