33. The Oslo Accord B/S was a scam

Bill Clinton made AIPAC hardliners Martin Indyk and Dennis Ross has "peace negotiators" for the I/P conflict. During the "peace process" Israel made the greatest expansion of "settlements" in its history to that point.

In 1982, Martin Indyk began working as a deputy research director for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a pro-Israel lobbying group in Washington.

In the mid-1980s Dennis Ross co-founded with Martin Indyk the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)-sponsored Washington Institute for Near East Policy ("WINEP&quot . His first WINEP paper called for appointment of a "non-Arabist Special Middle East envoy" who would "not feel guilty about our relationship with Israel."

Bill Clinton thought Dennis Ross' and Martin Indyk's backgrounds and philosophies made them perfect candidates to be his negotiators for the Israel/Palestine conflict. This is consistent with Bill Clinton's governing philosophy, and who he hired to run his administration.

Bill Clinton put the foxes in charge of the hen-house in the phony "peace process."
