...Because (click here) of Mr. Dermer’s unabashed hawkishness and his role in organizing Mitt Romney’s 2012 visit to Israel, White House officials — including Denis McDonough, President Obama’s chief of staff — long resisted his appointment, according to people close to the administration. But in the renewed push last year for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, Secretary of State John Kerry, who attended Mr. Dermer’s Passover Seder this spring, thought having a Netanyahu confidant close at hand would present an opportunity to sway the prime minister.
That turned out to be a misreading. Nearly 10 months after Mr. Dermer became ambassador, it is clear in Washington that he is his boss’s ideological twin. “I can authoritatively speak for the prime minister here,” he said during a nearly two-hour interview on Thursday in the heavily fortified Israeli Embassy in Washington. “I think people understand that.”...
Who dumped Netanyahu's puppet at the doorstep of the USA State Department?
Evidently, the USA is suppose to follow his ? lead ? and abandon all conventions on the planet to satisfy an Israel government out of control and determined to destroy any hopes of a Palestinian homeland. His views are blind to any other outcome, except of that of Netanyahu. He is corrupt. He has to go. Can the USA State Department please get someone other than a puppet for the ambassadorship of Israel? It would be refreshing.
My god the money the Israel's PACTs are willing to spend to undermine peace is incredible. I tell you what, just let Israel pay Dermer's salary and the deal will be complete.
Secretary Kerry has been a champion for human rights for as long as he has been in office, regardless of what capacity. He should have smelled this one coming.
