BUSTED: Obama Advisor Working To Defeat Nethanyahu Worked For Israel Hater
January 28, 2015 by Charles C. Johnson
Off to try to defeat Nethanyahu, Obama advisor Jeremy C. Bird once worked for an anti-Israel activist condemned by the Anti-Defamation League.
Bird, then a student at Harvard’s Divinity School, worked for Edmund Hanauer, one of America’s most prominent anti-Israel activists, in 2002.
Bird worked for Hanaeuer while Hanaeuer wrote a virulently anti-Israel op-ed that accused Israel of “state terrorism” and “war crimes,” and called for the arrest and prosecution of Israeli soldiers.
Bird and Hanaeur also attacked Israel in speeches. Hanauer showed an anti-Israel film to a Harvard audience and gave a speech at Harvard in 2002. Bird also spoke about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and introduced Hanaeur.
Here‘s the Harvard Crimson’s description of the event:
“A viewing of a short documentary film on the Abu Ghneim Mountain Israeli Settlement Project opened the event. Hanauer later referred to the project as an example of Israeli expansion into Palestinian lands. It was followed by introductory remarks by Hanauer and Jeremy C. Bird, a second-year HDS student who has been working with Hanauer for the past year.”
“Bird said a “cycle of violence” has contributed to the tensions between Palestinians and Israelis. Rather than using violence themselves, both sides must peacefully campaign for justice, he added.”
Bird got his political start in anti-Israel and anti-Netanyahu activism while he studying abroad. Bird also took an influential class with socialist professor and activist Marshall Ganz titled, “Organizing: People, Power, and Change.” In one of Bird’s first classes he worked as a community organizer in Boston.
ZitatNow Bird, fresh off losing Battleground Texas’s pro-Wendy Davis campaign, is off to Israel to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu with a State Department-funded group called “OneVoice.”
OneVoice is an international grassroots movement that amplifies the voice of mainstream Israelis and Palestinians, empowering them to propel their elected representatives toward the two-state solution. The Movement works to forge consensus for conflict resolution and build a human infrastructure capable of mobilizing the people toward a negotiated, comprehensive, and permanent agreement between Israel and Palestine that ends the occupation, ensures security and peace for both sides, and solves all final-status issues in accordance with international law and previous bilateral agreements. The 1967 borders form the basis for the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state, with permanent borders and any modifications to be agreed upon by both parties. The Movement recognizes that violence by either side will never be a means to end the conflict. " http://onevoicemovement.org/mission

Gee, that description from OneVoice makes me feel all gooey inside. I need to find my checkbook to send them wads of cash.
