Exposed: Obama Admin's Former Chief Israel-Palestine Negotiator Paid $15 Million by Qatari Government
Disgraced former Israel-Palestine negotiator Martin Indyk, who served in his position just prior to the outbreak of a 50-day war between Israel and Hamas, reportedly has cashed a $14.8 million dollar check from the government of Qatar recently.
Qatar is known to be a fierce enemy of Israel and a staunch supporter of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Many in Israel and Egypt have called out Qatar for fanning the flames of war in the Middle East.
While serving as chief negotiator, Indyk was accused of deliberately planting anti-Israel stories in the press in an attempt to undermine Israel’s position in peace talks with the Palestinians.
In June, Indyk quit his role as chief negotiator. By then, negotiations had completely broken down, and the Muslim Brotherhood terror group Hamas had been firing indiscriminate rocket fire at Israel’s population centers. Only one week following Indyk’s departure from his failed effort, Israel was forced to commence a full-scale military operation to defend itself from the terror entity in the Gaza Strip.
Prior to the finding that Indyk has been largely financed by the Qataris, some have chalked up Indyk’s incessant animosity towards Israel to a personal rift with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Indyk took the $14.8 million dollars in his position as vice president and director of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution, a left-wing think-tank in...

What is unusual or surprising about that?
Do they usually get more?
How much did MooseShell get?
Here’s his background:
Martin Indyk was born to a Jewish family in London, England. He was raised in Australia, growing up in the Sydney suburb of Castlecrag. He graduated from the University of Sydney in 1972 and received a PhD in international relations from the Australian National University in 1977. His brother is Ivor Indyk. He emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized US citizen in 1993. He was formerly married to Jill Collier Indyk with whom he had two children, Sarah and Jacob.
Seems to me that this may be illegal. Wasn’t he on the government payroll?

Most transparent administration ever...
So the IRS gets $6,000,000 in taxes? It is income, and we all know this administration follows the law whenever practical.
even by standards of the Obama administration this is a wowzer...!
The MSM won't care... who wants to bet 'Meet the Press' misses this story...
This may cause the UC Regent’s pay to increase...
Yesterday, Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner approved the spending of $ 500,000,000 of US Taxpayer Dollars to “train” 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels in Saudi Arabia for one year.
Here are a few discussion points that were NOT mentioned by Boehner:
* Each Syrian Muslim Rebel will cost $ 100,000 to train.
* 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will be removed from the battlefields in Syria to a training site in Saudi Arabia for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with reduced protection from attack by Syrian Army troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with NO protection from attack by ISIS troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria will help both the Syrian and ISIS troops to more easily take over areas controlled by the Syrian Muslim Rebels.
BTW, before the US Senate approved Boehner’s Bailout Bill today did any US Senator mention that removing 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria, was in effect, “Giving Aid and comfort to the ENEMY” for the period of one year?
He was not a regular Government employee, he works for the Brookings Institute, a Democrat Party think tank.
They probably have some artful way to wash the money, but on its face, it is obvious corruption - he was representing the US Government.
I wonder how much is for his pocket, and how much he is supposed to share around the Democrat establishment?
That is a heck of a lot of money. I don’t see how this was ethical, or legal if he was a govt employee at the time.
500M for one year? Do you have a source on that.

When Israelis negotiate with Palestinians, they talk with themselves.
