Leaked internal emails 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 Washington-based Israel lobby group CAP was doing what other 50 Zionist groups have been doing for decades – to blackmail and bribe American politicians to support the Zionist regimes. CAP was founded by Bill Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, John Podesta, and Israel-First Jew, in 2003.

    Hillary Clinton, in the memoir, ‘Hard Choices’, boasted her undivided love for the Zionist entity. She also said that Washington’s pressure on Netanyahu to put freeze on the new illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights, was a mistake.

    “I was concerned that we not be seen as pushing a longtime partner out the door, leaving Egypt, Israel, Jordan and the region to an uncertain, dangerous future,” she wrote.

    Neera Tanden, demon Democrat, AIPAC butt-licker, (upper-caste Indian?)

    When some idiot feminazi suggests that the world would be a better place if women were in charge, just add to the list of evil bitches this Neera Tanden, president of CAP (Center for American Progress) who advocates using the US military to subdue foreign countries and force them to pay tribute. Talk about setting civilization back a few centuries!

  3. The Pantsuited One, that bought-and-paid-for hack, is a confirmed Israel-Firster, as well as an armchair commando. But then, so are all the presidential candidates.

  4. come on, when clinton held a press conference out of the blue talking about the rise of antisemitism is when I know she is bought through and through.

    every single american politician is israel’s bitch.

    it is like a never ending horror movie, but it is real and happening right now.
