Indyk and Ross are both Jewish.
Ross is the first Chariman of THE JEWISH PEOPLE POLICY PLANNING INSTITUTE (ESTABLISHED BY THE JEWISH AGENCY FOR ISRAEL) LTD.
At the inauguration Ambassador Ross said: "It is necessary for the Jewish people to develop thinking that will help anticipate and respond to future developments. The purpose of the Institute is to develop innovative thinking, assess future problems, and offer possible methods of action. The Institute will make recommendations to various governments including the government of Israel and Jewish organizations." In response to a question, Ross said: My activity on behalf of the Jewish people does not contradict my past or present activities in promoting peace in the Middle East. The will to be a proud Jew does not conflict with my political activities," he said.
THE Washington Institute for Near East Policy (Winep) was established in 1985, and soon became the most influential thinktank with effects on the United States government’s Middle East policy and US mass media reporting about the region. The institute’s founding director, Martin Indyk, was previously research director of the leading pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac).
I would consider Ross and Indyk to be pro-Israel.
By that definition, 90% of the American public could be described as "pro-Israel."
Dennis Ross and Martin Indyk-regardless of their religion-were typical State Dept. bureaucrats.
In other words, they bent over backwards in order to appease the Arab world, while doing everything in their capacity to convince Isreal to give up even more of its land in futile "land for peace" negotiations.
I'm not saying they're necessarily bad people, only that your description of them-and the implications of this study-are not accurate representations of the political beliefs these men hold.
