"WASHINGTON SCENE""
"UNCLE JIM" Z0BBY STRIKES AGAIN
MID-EAST REALITIES - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 8/1/00:
The Americans have created "client regimes" in the Middle East
to do their bidding. And these regimes have in turned worked closely
with the American political establishment to create "client organizations"
in Washington to falsely speak on behalf of Arabs.
Case in point:
When Clinton was first elected President and started filling
the top foreign policy slots with graduates of the Israel/Jewish lobby,
including a former head of that lobby's think tank to head up Middle East
affairs at the National Security Council, Zogby was trotted out to proclaim
that Clinton's Middle East choices were good ones and that Martin Indyk
(the Israeli lobby think tank head) was a good friend of his and a great
choice for the job. For many in the media it was approval from the
Arabs for Clinton's stacking the deck as never before.
Now the same Zogby has been trotted out again, this time
to endorse Joe Lieberman.
Lieberman is one of the Senate's most prominent advocates
of Israeli policies, in recent years has been an ardent crusader to move
the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and has pushed hard to continue the genocidal
sanctions against Iraq. But according to Zogby, quoted in an overseas
Reuters report in August, "He's a fair guy, he's a good guy."
And then the Arab Americans wonder why with spokesman
like Zogby they are laughed at by their enemies, scorned by most of their
own.
