According
to an inquiry by conservative American media outlets, General Merrill
McPeak, Senator Barack Obama's military advisor and co-chair of his
presidential campaign has slammed Israel harshly for a long time.
McPeak,
who served as the chief of staff o the US Air Force before retiring in
1994, made headlines over the past week after accusing former President
Bill Clinton of McCarthyism.
Also, over the years he has
criticized Israel for failing to withdraw to the 1967 borders and
charged American Jews were preventing American pressure that would lead
to a Mideast peace agreement.
McPeak also slams Israel and pro-Israel Jews.
"Christian Zionists manipulates foreign policy"
In
an interview with The Oregonion about five years ago, McPeak argued
that the influence exerted by American Jews is responsible for the lack
of progress in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. According to the
general the problem was New York and Miami.
"We have a large vote here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it," he said.
In the same interview, McPeak spoke of his personal experience with Israel.
"I've
spent a lot of time in Israel, worked at one time very closely with the
Israeli Air Force as a junior officer," he said, "but that's maybe the
more cosmopolitan, liberal version of the Israeli population."
McPeak also said that Jews and Christian Zionists manipulated American foreign policy in Iraq.
"Let's
say that one of your abiding concerns is the security of Israel as
opposed to a purely American self-interest, then it would make sense to
build a dozen or so bases in Iraq," he said.
