Martin Indyk is bad for Israel. If you don't want to see a snub politicker back undermining Israel and the U.S.'s strategic interests, then please, please voice your objections regarding Mr. Indyk's nomination/return as the U.S. ambassador to Israel!

Some items to remember concerning Mr. Indyk:

* Indyk repeatedly ignored Arafat and his Palestinian Authority's repeated violations of signed accords with Israel;

* Indyk tried his best (on more than one occasion) to subterfuge the moving of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (which is in violation of U.S. Public Law 104-45);

* Indyk, while serving as ambassador to Israel, publicly chastised Israel over and over again;

* Indyk participated in the Clinton's "snub politicking" toward former Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli government officials, who were duly elected by Israeli citizens;

* Indyk frequently made excuses for the Syrian puppet Lebanese's regime's active involvement with the Hizbullah attacks upon northern Israel;

* Indyk frequently ignored the plight of the South Lebanese Christian community's persecution by the Syrian puppet Lebanese regime.

Ask yourself one question: Does Indyk really have the best interest of both Israel and the U.S. at heart? Or is Mr. Indyk merely a mouthpiece for a Presidential ego?

Here's what you should do:

CALL/FAX the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and voice your objections!

Senate Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs Members, Staff, Jurisdiction and Contact Information: Phone: (202) 224-4651, Fax: (202) 224-0836

Remember, if you care about the future of the State of Israel, then help stop Clinton's nomination of his boot-licking buddy Martin Indyk!
