Martin Indyk’s Galloping Horse: Moral Crisis at Heart of Obama’s Peace | Ramzy Baroud
Ramzy Baroud -- World News Trust
April 23, 2014
To understand how thoughtless the United States' latest "peace process" drive has been, one only needs to consider some of the characters involved in this political theater.
One particular character who stands out as a testament to the inherently futile exercise is Martin Indyk.
Indyk, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, was selected by Secretary of State John Kerry for the role of Special Envoy for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Under normal circumstances, Kerry’s selection may appear somewhat rational.
Former ambassadors oftentimes possess the needed expertise to navigate challenging political landscapes in countries where they previously served. But these are not normal circumstances, and Indyk is hardly a diplomat in the strict use of the term.
