Undiplomatic behavior by a (former) American diplomat?

This incident was apparently related to the New Israel Fund (NIF). Ex-ambassador Indyk joined NIF's board, and in 2010, his effort to get NIF funding in Australia was cancelled after a series of embarrassments. Indyk wrote a crude column directed at the head of NGO Monitor, Professor Gerald Steinberg, blaming him for exposing the NIF facade. NIF tried again, as NGO Monitor published new reports detailing NIF's central role and cover-up in funding BDS-supporting anti-Israel NGOs like CWP, Adalah, etc. Apparently, the Australians did not buy the NIF-Indyk line, and this explains the emotional explosion today.

Sounds like someone needs to apologize for his temper tantrum.

Indyk always seemed like a sniveling, nasty SOB to me. That pic says a lot. Connivers.
Isn't he supposed to be a diplomat?
OT - well, not all the way OT - Carl, thanks for doing such a great job covering the conference. Your interesting posts will surely make more people want to try to get to Israel in upcoming years for this conference...
More kapos.
Knit, Madam Defarge, knit!
