Shapiro speaks Hebrew, regularly attends synagogue, has given his children Israeli names. A Jewish dude with two passports and loyalty disorder appointed as a US ambassador to Israel. Now I can sleep knowing that he will watch my back and look for my interests.
2. new US ambassador

3. 1 Split - 2 Passports?

Where do you come up with this stuff. The guy's from downstate Illinois. So he speaks Hebrew. Lots of Americans do. He'll be Obama's ambassador and speak for the Obama administration. More important will be who replaces him on the NSC. Maybe somebody from AAI since the current NSC does not seem to understand what is going on in the Arab street. Jim Zogby or Rashid Khalidi or Jim Abizaid come to mind.
4. 3 Correction - John Abizaid

Your problem is that you appear to be suffering from some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder that focuses all your animosity on Israel and/or American Jews. However, you're completely oblivious to the fact that some of the most malevolent American ambassadors were the ones who were posted to Syria and Iraq. Two in particular come to mind...Talcott Seelye and Edward Peck, both of whom never met an Arab despot they didn't love...even the most virulently anti-American ones.
6. 3 - Where do you come up with this stuff.
split ,   US   (02.23.11)
From Israeli media - Why don't we send a Chinese to China, a Korean to Korea a Jappanese to Japan or a Russian to Russia ? The answer is, because of the potential conflict of interest and a risk to compromise our security,...

Youre making my case :) Are they a Muslims or Arabs by any chance ? ,...
8. 3 - what is going on in the Arab street ,...

He screwed up as a head the Middle East Desk of the NSC and gets rewarded with an ambassadorship, like I have said, only in America

As said by talk-backer #5 you are channeling your hatred against humanity in your animosity everything Israeli and/or Jewish. To do that, you make up stories a la Grimm Brothers, and now you come up with the “revelation” that D, Shapiro screwed up the ME situation. The screw up was made by the Secretary State, her entire office, and all other agencies of the present administration. Naturally in your exalted mind it must have been done solely by a Jew. Did you ever seek medical help? You should do it. Read the talk-backs, you are a laughing stock, nobody takes you seriously, and everybody despise you. To NYC Girl #5: Was Ambassador Peck on board of the busted “Freedom Flotilla”? If he was, it shows what a “splendid” Ambassador he was.
