New York Gets a Slimy New Consul

Aryeh Mekel, Israel's fairly effective consul in New York, is being removed to make way for a replacement, Olmert's own spokesman and media advisor, Asaf Shariv. Asaf Shariv back in Israel had worked to target journalists who wrote critical pieces about Olmert by leaking defamatory stories to the press about them. He of course has no diplomatic background but that's not the point. As a reward for his "service" another figure in the Kadima Mafia is being rewarded with a political appointment and his past service may fit him for a role similar to that practiced by Collette Avital who similarly collected information on opponents of the Oslo Accords and worked to silence them.

    How lovely. A new member in the mafia capital of the world. On the other hand, people have been known to be hit by stray cars flying onto sidewalks in NYC. I can only hope.

  3. Utilizing a Public Information Officer (PIO) as consul is definitely a strategic move on Olmert's part. No doubt about it. He wants to control the media and this is the ideal way to do it.

    Political clout with Kadimah/Olmert and controlling the media. No doubt whatsoever as to what Olmert is trying to accomplish with this.
