"From Pro-Israel to Anti-Israel Apologist": . . . Martin Indyk?!?

You just can't make this stuff up. From The Jerusalem Post, this piece by Isi Leibler, entitled "From Pro-Israel to Anti-Israel Apologist." He's talking about . . . Martin Indyk.

Yes, that Martin Indyk. Formerly of AIPAC, formerly of WINEP, former Ambassador to Israel, former Assistant Secretary of State, Vice President of the Brookings Institution, etc. etc.

It's because of Indyk's New York Times op-ed, "When Your Best Friend Gets Angry."

So now when Israel's friends in the American Jewish community criticize policies of this particular Israeli government, that makes them anti-Israel apologists?

Perhaps the author should read the message again.
