Leaked Emails From Pro-Clinton Group Reveal Censorship of Staff on Israel, AIPAC Pand

L[FONT=TIActuBeta-ExBold_web]EAKED INTERNAL EMAILS[/FONT] from the powerful Democratic think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) shed light on several public controversies involving the organization, particularly in regard to its positioning on Israel. They reveal the lengths to which the group has gone in order to placate AIPAC and long-time Clinton operative and Israel activist Ann Lewis — including censoring its own writers on the topic of Israel.The emails also provide crucial context for understanding CAP’s controversial decision to host an event next week for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That event, billed by CAP as “A Conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” will feature CAP President Neera Tanden and Netanyahu together in a Q&A session as they explore “ways to strengthen the partnership between Israel and the United States.” That a group whose core mission is loyalty to the White House and the Democratic Party would roll out the red carpet for a hostile Obama nemesis is bizarre, for reasons the Huffington Post laid out when it reported on the controversy provoked by CAP’s invitation.

The emails, provided to The Intercept by a source authorized to receive them, are particularly illuminating about the actions of Tanden (right), a stalwart Clinton loyalist as well as a former Obama White House official. They show Tanden and key aides engaging in extensive efforts of accommodation in response to AIPAC’s and Lewis’ vehement complaints that CAP is allowing its writers to be “anti-Israel.” Other emails show Tanden arguing that Libyans should be forced to turn over large portions of their oil revenues to repay the U.S. for the costs incurred in bombing Libya, on the grounds that Americans will support future wars only if they see that the countries attacked by the U.S. pay for the invasions.

Me neither. Pretty clear to anyone paying attention that while the democrats and their organs pretend to be firmly pro-Israel they really are nothing of the sort but calibrate their messaging to avoid having light shed on their real positions.

There is a real foundational issue with the modern left, and there really doesn't seem any way to stem the virus.

But sure, let the dems actually say what they think instead of having d-bags like Obama pretend they hold one set of views in from of the camera while demonstrating their real views in their policies. Would just make it easier for the majority of Americans to see where they are really coming from and reject them on that basis.

Incidentally, really enjoying the comments section of the article. very representative cross-section of progesvie westerners. A bunch hate the Jews, a bunch just want Israel the zionazis gone, and a bunch are the standard corporations and interest groups control everything and keep the little man down garbage.

Not sure it was your intent, but thanks for drawing our attention to the real views of the modern "progressive" left.
