Jeb Bush Adviser Slams Netanyahu, Israel at Left-Wing J Street Gala
Breitbart.com ^ | 24 March 2015 | Joel B. Pollak

Former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, a foreign policy adviser to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening at the Washington gala dinner for J Street, a Soros-funded left-wing group that is devoted to disrupting the close U.S.-Israel alliance. Baker said that Netanyahu had been too forceful in his opposition to a nuclear deal with Iran, and that he had shown insufficient commitment to peace with the Palestinians.

“If the only agreement is one under which Iran agrees to cease all enrichment, then there will likely be no agreement,” Baker said. Although UN Security Council resolutions ban any nuclear enrichment by Iran, Baker said Netanyahu’s position was too strict. On the Palestinian issue, Baker said: “In the aftermath of Netanyahu’s recent election victory, the chance of a two-state solution appears even slimmer of course, given his reversal on the issue.” Palestinians have resisted peace talks for years, despite Netanyahu’s agreement to impose construction freezes in West Bank settlements.

Baker, who has been close to the Bush family for generations, is known for his past opposition to Israel and is viewed by many Jewish voters with suspicion. Nonetheless, Jeb Bush approached Baker recently to join his foreign policy team. The former Florida governor and purported Republican frontrunner for the presidential nomination has not commented on Baker’s appearance at J Street, but did tweet on Friday that “Obama’s treatment of Israel…is misguided/disappointing.”

Baker drew loud applause from the J Street audience when he recalled how the first Bush administration opposed loan guarantees to Israel over the issue of settlements, and how Israelis elected a new, left-wing government in the aftermath. He touted “land-for-peace” as the best solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ...

What mental acrobatics these frauds go through to oppose Israel.

So, Obama might go through the UN Security Council to avoid seeking approval from the US Senate, for an agreement that allows some nuclear enrichment by Iran.. But that would require that the Security Council approve a resolution and agreement that violates previous SC resolutions that ban any nuclear enrichment by Iran.

So typical, they just want an “agreement” so they can say they have an “agreement”. Who gets nuked is not an issue.

You got that right. He was once described as the smart Bush. I think we were lied to about that.

The RNC wants an amnesty candidate.

Jeb Bush seems to be running hard for the Democrat Nomination. Could he be dreaming of being a "fusion" candidate? The ideal candidate for both fascists and communists? Corporativists and wacko lefties?

James Baker has a long standing reputation for hating Jews. It goes back decades.

They are a Uniparty on domestic and foreign policy.

I heard Bob Corker, Republican Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, speak of a “good deal” with Iran as opposed to Obama getting a “bad deal”.

How about “no deal” with a government America should never trust....
