Remember this guy? Of course you don’t, but you have been lied to and this is why I am writing about this.
He is Robert Malley and he was thrown under the bus by the Obama Campaign back in May because of his long time radical anti-Israeli views and because Malley had been holding talks/negotiations with the terrorist group HAMAS.
This came at a time where Obama’s associations with radical Anti-Semites such as Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, Rashid Khalidi and the whole list of them were becoming news. Khalidi was a press agent for the PLO, Obama had managed to funnel money to his group when he served on the Woods Foundation and Khalidi helped to finance Obama’s college education. All that mutual back scratching…. the “change” you voted for.
Malley wrote a paper which received some notoriety that blamed Israel for the reasons why peace talks have broken down and exonerated his long time family friend Yassir Arafat. For those of you familiar with this period of history would know well what this means about Malley and if it had gotten out that Obama was using this man as an advisor the Jewish vote would be in jeopardy.
Malley’s family has been very close to the Arafat’s. France even through his family out of the country for their radical view’s and the Arafat’s intervened to try and help them get back into France. While Malley cannot help who his family is, it does give context to Malley’s actions.
More on Malley’s history and why Obama had to throw him under the bus in May can be found HERE and HERE.
May 10 – Times of London: Barack Obama sacks adviser over talks with Hamas
One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.
Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.”The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.

But look who is now the official Middle East envoy for the Obama Transition:
Report: Obama Sends Advisor Malley to Cozy Up to Egypt and Syria
by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) According to a report on Middle East Newsline, President-elect Barack Obama has dispatched his “senior foreign policy adviser”, Robert Malley to Egypt and Syria to outline Obama’s policy on the Middle East.
Malley reportedly relayed a promise from Obama that the United States would seek to enhance relations with Cairo and reconcile differences with Damascus.
The whole thing about throwing Malley under the bus and not working with him in the future was a fake out for the election. It was designed to sucker voters. Joe Biden said that no one stands for Israel more than he does, well Joe why is this anti-Semite a part of your transition team?
I recall Fox News’ Sheppard Smith taking Joe the Plumber to task for saying that an Obama victory would be a threat to Israel. Smith took the famed plumber to task saying that Obama has announced his support for Israel. As we have shown time and time and time again, Obama’s rhetoric often does not jive with his actions.
