Peretz like Ross is a Democrat with a generally realistic view of the Middle East. Ross learned a lot from his role in the Clinton Administration follies (i.e., the Oslo Accords).
After 9/11, he was on FNC a lot and seemed to be reasonably well informed and non-partisan. However, he disappeared after the Bush hatefest started and Dems tried to re-write history. In that sense, he is not exactly a profile in political courage.
I saw him on FNC a lot during the Bush years.
Dennis Ross has been pretty good in the past. He loves Israel. I think he joined the Obamma team in hopes of bringing some sanity to their Israel policy
He may not have even voted for 0bama but hoped to help in a positive way
Marty Peretz is old school. He loves Israel. I hope he wasn’t fool enough to vote 0bama. Wasn’t that the thing with John McCain? That conservative Democrats would vote for him?
When Marty Peretz owned the New Republic it was not a conservative publication but was pro-Israel and published some articles conservatives would agree with
