"As Romney is working to beef up his foreign policy credentials, he and the Republican Party should concentrate on hiring professionals who have a history of supporting a strong America and a robust US-Israel relationship," said Josh Block, Senior Fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute and former AIPAC spokesman who has also sharply criticized the Obama Administration on Israel, in an email. "Not people like Gary Howard who hail from the isolationist, anti-Israel, Ron Paul wing of the Republican Party or who follow the the old Robert Taft foreign policy which advocated against US intervention in World War II."
Block suggested the hire would anger the Romney campaign, which has planned a trip to Israel to beef up the candidate's foreign policy credentials.
"If I were the Romney campaign I would be looking at the RNC and and asking myself, 'With friends like these...'," Block said.
