Because he is a greater threat to the state of Israel than Abdul Nasser ever was.
How can I say this?
Because he offered Larry Summers the position of head of Israel's central bank:
Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary and president of Harvard University, rejected a request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to become governor of the Bank of Israel, Channel 2 reported.
Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid have been striving all year to find a successor to Stanley Fischer, who announced in January that he would be leaving the post and who stepped down in June.
Summers was one of a number of overseas candidates reportedly approached by Netanyahu to have spurned the job. Summers had been widely seen as a possible new head of the US Federal Reserve, but withdrew from consideration last month in the face of rising opposition.
New Haven-born Summers is the son of two economists, Robert Summers (who changed the family surname from Samuelson) and Anita Summers. A renowned economist, Summers built close ties to Obama when he led the president’s National Economic Council in 2009 and 2010.
Larry fucking Summers? Seriously?
I'd rather have Amanda Fucking Palmer as head of a central bank. At least she can sing.
It really is remarkable just how much the discredited Reaganite/Thatcherite Wall Street driven "Washington Consensus" continues to drive crucial policy decisions.
