NSC Purge: McMaster ‘Deeply Hostile to Israel and to Trump’
Breitbart ^ | Aug 3, 2017 | Breitbart News

Posted on 08/03/2017 11:09:57 AM PDT by Syncro

Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick wrote Wednesday evening that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster is purging pro-Israel staff from the National Security Council (NSC), turning the administration against President Donald Trump’s policies.

In a Facebook post, Glick noted that “all of these people” whom McMaster has fired this week — Rich Higgins, Derek Harvey, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick — “are pro-Israel and oppose the Iran nuclear deal, positions that Trump holds.”

She noted that the firings were the latest evidence that NSA McMaster is “deeply hostile to Israel and to Trump”:

According to senior officials aware of his behavior, he constantly refers to Israel as the occupying power and insists falsely and constantly that a country named Palestine existed where Israel is located until 1948 when it was destroyed by the Jews.

Many of you will remember that a few days before Trump’s visit to Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו and his advisers were blindsided when the Americans suddenly told them that no Israeli official was allowed to accompany Trump to the Western Wall.

What hasn’t been reported: it was McMaster who pressured Trump to agree not to let Netanyahu accompany him to the Western Wall. At the time, I and other reporters were led to believe that this was the decision of rogue anti-Israel officers at the US consulate in Jerusalem. But it wasn’t. It was McMaster.

And even that, it works out wasn’t sufficient for McMaster. He pressured Trump to cancel his visit to the Wall and only visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial — ala the Islamists who insist that the only reason Israel exists is European guilt over the Holocaust.

Glick noted that the three latest firings were not McMaster’s first attack on pro-Israel officials, or those critical of radical Islam.

I looked back and McMaster was one of the first politicians to endorse Trump. I believe he was Lt. Gov. from South Carolina at the time. He’s a smart guy and may have thought it the best way to get into a Trump administration.

Don’t know why Trump didn’t purge DC of any/all Obama (and even some Bush) holdovers when he first took office.

Same mistake Bush made with with Bubba's people. These people are aggressive, terminal cancer.

That is a different McMaster. He took over as SC Governor when Haley got the UN gig.

Rockitz,

I hate to inform you but LTG H.R. McMaster has never been Lt. Gov. of South Carolina or any other state. He is a career Army officer.

You are thinking about South Carolina Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday, (posted January 26, 2016).
