NY Historical Society to host man who smeared Defense Secretary as anti-Semite

By 25

Elliott Abrams, the pro-Israel enforcer inside the late Bush administration– who called Chuck Hagel an anti-Semite with no evidence– will speak at the New-York Historical Society next Tuesday night, about his book on Israel policy. Tickets are $30. The society is on Central Park West. I hope there’ll be some sidewalk action.

Also, the man who organized death squads in Central America, and a convicted felon for lying to Congress. . .

RE: “Elliott Abrams, the pro-Israel enforcer inside the late Bush administration– who called Chuck Hagel an anti-Semite with no evidence— will speak at the New-York Historical Society next Tuesday night, about his book on Israel policy.” ~ Weiss

MY COMMENT: Elliott Abrams seems quite proud of the fact that his smear campaign of lies against Hagel has resulted in the U.S. having “a weaker secretary of defense”.

SEE – “Elliott Abrams: ‘Hagel will be confirmed, but he will be a weaker secretary of defense'”, By Noam Sheizaf, +972 Magazine, 2/22/13

[EXCERPTS] In an interview to the Israeli daily ‘Yedioth Ahronoth,’ the former neoconservative diplomat criticizes Hagel for his ‘I am an American senator’ remark.
Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea has today a short interview with Elliott Abrams on the issue of Chuck Hagel’s nomination to secretary of defense, which various Israeli advocacy groups have opposed.
Abrams opens by explaining why he believes Hagel is an anti-Semite . . .

• Abrams: “I don’t hate him (Hagel). I don’t know him in person. I have friends who say they have known him for years and never heard an anti-Semitic remark from him. I think that everyone who rules out an initiative by Jews to influence American policy is an anti-Semite. That’s my definition. “Hagel once said ‘I am not an Israeli senator, I am an American senator. My commitment is to the United States’. This wasn’t a gaffe.” […]
• Barnea: You know that eventually he will be confirmed. The Senate usually doesn’t interfere with the president’s appointments.
• Abrams: “Yes. I suppose he will be confirmed. But he will be a weaker secretary of defense. The fight against Hagel presents the Republican party as a very pro-Israeli party, which is a good thing. Second, it’s becoming clear to everyone that there is a strong pro-Israeli lobby that is relying mostly on Christians. This is not a Jewish lobby.”

Roger Hertog (junk bond billionaire and Israel-firster) is the Chairman of the NY Historical Society’s Board of Trustees. In fact, three of its four trustees are Jewish.

Let us not forget how Elliott Abrams helped trigger the Hamas counter-coup in Gaza, by conspiring with Israel to subvert the results of the Palestinian elections.
