Is Obama’s new ISIS czar a documented terror sympathizer?

by: Sam Rolley 

The Obama administration’s new czar for countering the Islamic State terror threat is Robert Malley, a longtime Middle East expert with a history of sympathizing with extremists.
The White House announced Malley’s appointment during a press briefing focused on the Paris climate conference.
“The president recently elevated Rob Malley, the NSC [National Security Council] Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, to serve now as the Senior Adviser to the President for the Counter-ISIL Campaign in Iraq and Syria,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.

Earnest added that the new ISIS czar’s job will be to “support our reinvigorated diplomatic track toward a political transition in Syria.”
Malley isn’t a new face in the Obama administration. Malley served as a foreign policy adviser to the Obama campaign in 2008, but he was dropped from the campaign for having regular contact with members of Hamas.
Working closely with Hamas is just one of a number of Malley’s actions that have led to questions about whether he sympathizes with Arab extremists.

Via Judicial Watch:
Over the years he has published a number of newspaper opinion pieces urging the United States to reach out and negotiate with terrorist enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and Muqtada al-Sadr. A website that documents the networks and agendas of the political left offers details about Malley’s scary past and provides links to the egregious articles he’s published, including several co-written with Hussein Agha, a former adviser to Arafat. In 2007 Malley published an op-ed piece in a mainstream newspaper expressing strong support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a murderous tyrant who has been credited with helping ISIS rise.

Malley grew up in France and his Egyptian-born father was a key figure in Egypt’s communist party and a close friend of Arafat’s. His parents were fervently anti-Israel and huge supporters of several leftist revolutionary liberation movements, especially the Palestinian cause. Malley published a piece in a mainstream newspaper declaring that Israel was responsible for the failure of Bill Clinton’s peace talks with the Palestinians. Malley attended the 2000 event, which was held at Camp David because it was the site of the landmark 1978 Israeli-Egyptian peace accords.
Last year, the president made Malley the head of the National Security Council. Before that, after the 2012 election, Malley served as Obama’s senior adviser for Iraq-Iran-Syria and the Gulf states.

So, the guy who is now heading up the fight against ISIS is one of the same guys that should’ve been informing the Obama administration that the threat was growing for the past several years. Obama didn’t get any of those memos.
