کارشناس حامی اسرائیل سخن‌گوی بی‌طرفی نیست!

The Henry Jackson Society is a virulently pro-Israel think tank, described in 2012 by its founding member, Marko Attila Hoare, as “an abrasively right-wing forum with an anti-Muslim tinge, churning out polemical and superficial pieces by aspiring journalists and pundits that pander to a narrow readership of extreme Europhobic British Tories, hardline US Republicans and Israeli Likudniks.”

In a 2013 job advert for the position of its North American director, the society wrote it was looking for someone who could reach out to the “pro-Israel community.”

Lewin himself is the recipient of an “Israel research fellowship” — a one-year placement awarded to university graduates, under which they work for the Israeli government or an organization sympathetic to Israel  (he is listed as an alumnus of the class of 2009/10).

On its website, the Israel Research Fellowship (IRF) organizations says recipients of the award are “mentored by senior executives in their placements and informed by specially designed conferences.” It adds: “Israel research fellows, with their comprehensive knowledge of historical and intellectual trends, serve as articulate spokespeople for Israel. The IRF is a pro-Israel, apolitical, non-partisan enterprise that aims to serve in the best interests of the State of Israel.”

مجری بی‌بی‌سی موقع معرفی او به این جملات اکتفا می‌کند: «او از Henry Jackson Society است که یک مخزن فکری‌ فعال در رابطه با سیاست‌‌گذاری خارجی و امور دفاعی است». بیشتر مخاطبان راهی برای این‌که بدانند این شخص و مخزن فکری‌ او «از حامیان جدی اسرائیل» هستند ندارند.
