top State Department offi-
cial criticized for hiring a
pro-Palestinian activist to a
temporary position on his
staff fired back with both barrels this
week.
Speaking before
the Anti-
Defamation League
leadership confer-
ence on Monday,
Assistant Secretary
of State for Near
East Affairs Martin
Indyk read an
angry statement
defending his hir-
ing of Joseph
Zogby, a young
lawyer and son of
longtime Arab-
American leader
James Zogby.
Morton Klein
Indyk explicitly
criticized Zionist
Organization of
America President
Morton Klein, who
uncovered Zogby's
writings and
mounted a cam-
paign against him,
for "scurrilous
attacks and inaccu-
rate claims."
Zogby was hired
last summer for a
one-year stint as a
special assistant to
Indyk. Before corn
ing to State, he
was a co-founder
Martin Indyk
of the Palestine
Peace Project,
which brings American lawyers to
the West Bank to work with human
rights groups.
During that time, Indyk said,
Zogby experienced the Palestinian
side of the conflict "and that is what
he wrote about. He wrote in anguish,
not in anger; he was certainly critical
of Israel and aspects of American poli-
cy, but he was not then and is not
now an Israel hater, as he has been
depicted. "
Indyk, a former employee of the
pro-Israel lobby, expressed his dis-
agreement with Zogby's writings, call-
ing them "distasteful and disturbing."
But he said that Zogby accepted U.S.
policy in the region, which he said is
based on the view that Israel is a close
friend and strategic ally.
"He has been
thoughtful, intelligent
and very hardworking.
Most importantly, he
has been loyal and sup-
portive of the adminis-
tration's policies. That
is how we judge him,
and that is how he
should have been
judged."
Indyk said that he
had asked Zogby —
who attended the event
— to stay after his one-
year job ended, and
offered him a promo-
tion. "He is consider-
ing this offer, together
with other job offers
he has received. The
decision is his to make.
He has not been fired,
ousted, nor will he be.
Indyk's words were
enough for ADL direc-
tor Abraham Foxman,
who said that he will
not object to Zogby's
continued employment
in the Near East
bureau.
They weren't
enough for Klein, who
said the Zogby
appointment was just
one more example of
an administration that
has been hostile to Israel.
"The fact that Indyk would hire a
man who has written articles in an
anti-Semitic magazine saying Israel is
a 'monster and alien oppressor'
strongly suggests that not only are
Clinton and Indyk not pro-Israel, but
that they are biased in favor of the
Arab cause."
