Kerry "I will impliment 'President Obama's Vision For The World', may hire controversial diplomat for advisory post.HT: FreeBeacon.

An anti-Israel diplomat who was kicked off the 2008 Obama campaign after he was caught negotiating with the terror group Hamas is under consideration for a State Department advisory post, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Robert Malley, a longtime government insider who worked for former President Bill Clinton and advised then-Sen. Barack Obama, is said to be on Kerry’s shortlist for deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs, according to reports and sources. He currently serves as the Middle East director of the International Crisis Group (ICG).

If tapped for the job, Malley would be in charge of the Israel-Palestinian peace process,according to Al Monitor.Another source familiar with the issue told the Washington Free Beacon that Malley has quietly been confirming that the Al-Monitor report is accurate.

Malley has a controversial anti-Israel history that includes chastising the Jewish state while negotiating with Hamas. He also has defended Hezbollah, as well as other violent and illiberal Middle East factions. 

A State Department spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

Malley’s most prominent misstep came in 2008 when he was fired from his post as an adviser to then-Sen. Obama after he entered into direct negotiations with Hamas.

One source close to the issue told the Free Beacon that the likely appointment “certainly raises eyebrows—not about Malley, but about Kerry.” 

“It is surprising that Kerry would pick such a high profile choice who has been involved in so many controversies,” said the source. “He’s been surprisingly slow to identify who his [Middle East peace] team is going to be. It’s a surprising decision from Kerry.”

Malley has long said that any Middle East peace deal would have to receive the terror group Hamas’ endorsement despite the terror group’s commitment to destroying the Jewish state.Hmmmmm.......Flashback: Dem platform and Obama still recognize Hamas.So really no surprise there, people just didn't take notice.....And Kerry told the Truth about 
implimenting' Obama's vision.Read the full story here.

Carl in Jerusalem has much more to tell us about Malley and Malley senior.

Quote: Simon Malley loathed Israel and anti-Israel activism became a crusade for him-as an internet search would easily show. He spent countless hours with Yasser Arafat and became a close friend of Arafat.
