Anti-Israel Voices Exploit the Crisis in Egypt
Right out of the gate, Michael Scheuer, known for his vociferous, anti-Israel diatribes, once again exploited his podium to vent his bile against Israel:.
Israel is such an enormous detriment to the United States, our relationship with the Israelis, that it’s going to become clearer to Americans that this is just going to cost us blood and lives the longer we pursue this relationship with the Israelis.
Other serial Israel-bashers were not far behind. WBUR’s “On Point” radio program with Tom Ashbrook invited former New York Times‘ foreign correspondent Stephen Kinzer — who has blamed the murder of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy by a Palestinian on the existence of Israel — to present his views on the situation. Predictably, Kinzer turned the blame for the unrest in the Middle East toward Israel:
Sure, what people in Egypt want is an end to corruption, more economic development, and an end to political repression, but there’s something else that’s very important. These regimes that have come under such intense pressure in the Middle East are regimes that support American foreign policy in the Middle East. Fundamentally, they support the idea of accommodating Israel, supporting the settlement project in the West Bank, supporting the embargo on Gaza, and they also support the intense U.S. campaign against Iran.
