    Pentagon senior adviser accused Pompeo and senior politicians of taking money and getting rich from 'the Israeli lobby'

    Fri November 13, 2020


    (CNN)A new senior adviser at the Pentagon repeatedly said the United States' support for Israel was the result of "Israeli lobby" money and accused prominent officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, of becoming "very very rich," from their support for Israel.

    Retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, who was appointed as senior adviser to newly installed acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller this week, made the comments in two media appearances in 2012 and 2019.

    "You have to look at the people that donate to those individuals," Macgregor said in a September 2019 interview when asked if then-national security adviser John Bolton and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham wanted war with Iran. "Mr. Bolton has become very, very rich and is in the position he's in because of his unconditional support for the Israeli lobby. He is their man on the ground, in the White House."
    "The same thing is largely true for Mr. Pompeo, he has aspirations to be president," he added. "He has his hands out for money from the Israeli lobby, the Saudis and others."
    An outspoken critic of American foreign policy and "endless" wars, Macgregor also said the Israel lobby has "enormous influence" on Congress and accused the lobby of wanting to instigate "military strikes" with Iran in a 2012 interview with the Russian-state media network RT.

    Trump calls on Ilhan Omar to resign from Congress for ‘anti-Semitism’
    February 12, 2019
    WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Donald Trump called on Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to resign from Congress for what he said was her anti-Semitism.
    “It’s terrible what she said and I think she should either resign from Congress, or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “What she said is so deep-seated in her heart that her lame apology, and that’s what it was, it was lame and she didn’t mean a word of it, was just not appropriate. I think she should resign from Congress.”
    Omar, in her first term in the Congress, said Sunday on Twitter that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee pays lawmakers to be pro-Israel.


    Following report came out after US Presidential elections and amid claims of his boss (POTUS) looking to punish among others 'treacherous zionists' who are 'helping with coup' against his Presidency:

    Pompeo plans unprecedented visit to West Bank settlement


    Barak Ravid, author of from Tel Aviv

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is planning to visit the Golan Heights and an Israeli settlement in the West Bank next week, both firsts for a U.S. secretary of state.
    Why it matters: Since 1967, all previous U.S. administrations have treated the West Bank and Golan Heights as occupied territory.
    The big picture: The trip seems intended to highlight the Trump administration's policy shifts on Israel. For Pompeo, it also has domestic political significance ahead of a possible presidential run in 2024.

    • Pompeo has repeatedly highlighted his close links to Israel, including by addressing the Republican National Convention from Jerusalem.
    • He was also the first secretary of state to make an official visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

    Pompeo expected to announce process for U.S. to label human rights groups 'anti-Semitic'


    The secretary of State’s decision, confirmed by three people, would address certain organizations’ alleged actions toward the Israeli government.

    11/11/2020
    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has decided to establish a new process by which the United States can declare groups, including NGOs, to be anti-Semitic.

    Supporters of designating Oxfam, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International as anti-Semitic allege that they back the BDS movement. But Oxfam representatives say their organization does not support the movement, while Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International say they do not take a position on it.

    These Pentagon advisers also probably take money from the Israeli lobby, so its pretty hypocritical on their part of accusing others.

    Agreed. Our uneducated electorate falls for clickbait like this because of the media-driven assumption that Israel is monolithic. They have major parties as well on their spectrum. It is quite possible for one set of DC insiders to be pro-Likud and another Pro-Labor. I'm sure it is possible for an Israeli to be pro-American and either support the far end of the Dems or the far end of the Repubs. It only matters where their toast get buttered.
