There is an old adage in Washington: “Personnel is policy.” The meaning is obvious enough: The people appointed to top positions make policy through their daily actions, and those actions and policies are often influenced by their own agendas, biases, and ideologies.
 
The Biden administration’s shocking betrayal of Israel is raising serious concerns about Maher Bitar, the White House Coordinator for Intelligence and Defense Policy.
 
That post is almost always filled by a senior CIA officer. All intelligence from all agencies sent to the White House goes through Bitar’s office. This left-wing extremist decides what goes on to Biden, who is losing mental acuity by the hour.  
 
For years, Bitar was deeply involved in anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and pro-Palestinian activism. He was a leader of Students for Justice in Palestine before he launched his Washington, D.C., career. Students for Justice in Palestine is a seriously compromised organization that is linked to Hamas.
 
If Bitar was at Berkeley or Columbia today, he would be lowering the American flag and replacing it with the Palestinian flag or the banner of Hamas.
 
In 2006, he led a seminar on how to turn churches against Israel. In 2007, he assisted with an event featuring Joseph Massad, a radical professor who praised the October 7th massacre as “awesome” and “a stunning victory.”
 
He would later go on to work for UNRWA, a corrupt U.N. agency that is riddled with Hamas sympathizers and terrorists.
 
Before his White House assignment, Bitar was a top aide to Rep. Adam Schiff on the House Intelligence Committee, and played a major role in the first impeachment of Donald Trump. 
 
Conservative legal experts are constantly under attack by Democrats and progressives. They are being bankrupted and trying to stay out of jail. In contrast, the left takes their radicals and promotes them to top positions to make policy. They are playing hardball, while many on our side are playing checkers.
