Sleezy Likudnik and former Rethuglican operative Ron "Dermertitis" Dermer has been the ambassador to the U.S. from Israel since 2013. During the 2012 elections, he quietly and inappropriately supported Rethuglican candidate Willard "Mittens" Romney. Later, he became notorious for interfering in the debate over the Iran nuclear deal by working with Rethuglican Senators, and to set up a speech to Congress by hard-right Likudnik Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Obama Administration objected strongly to.
Now, Dermer is facing calls in Israel for his resignation after it became known that he failed to warn Netanyahu about David Keyes, an accused sexual predator and Netanyahu's former spokesperson for foreign media. So far, twelve women have come forward to accuse Keyes of sexual misconduct, including assault, including New York State Senate candidate Julia Salazar from the 18th district of New York.
Dermer may not want to resign, but Netanyahu is facing mounting corruption scandals and may want Dermer out in order to cut his losses. His loss would be our gain.
