Soon Israel will be talking to the Muslim Brotherhood

"The Simon Wiesenthal Center strongly criticized the US administration on Friday for conducting talks with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.  The condemnation from the Jewish human rights organization came in response to a statement made by US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on Thursday that the Obama administration has been engaged in “limited contacts” with the Islamist political movement.  “If the State Department thinks its going to convert the Muslim Brotherhood and dissuade them from their anti-Semitic beliefs, it is the height of folly,” said the Center’s founder and dean, Rabbi Marvin Hier, in comments to The Jerusalem Post.  “The Muslim Brotherhood has not categorically renounced violence towards Israel,” he continued, and pointed to a statement made in June by the organization’s head in Egypt, Mohammed Badie."
