McCain's New Jewish Advisor Is Pro Israel Lobbyist Broxmeyer
by Sarah Morrison
(IsraelNN.com) American Presidential hopeful Senator John McCain has appointed as his Jewish advisor Mark Broxmeyer, a real estate magnate and former head of a powerful pro-Israel lobby. Broxmeyer, from Long Island, New York, was recently asked by Sen. McCain to serve on his National Finance Committee, where he will remain in addition to serving in his new position.
Broxmeyer graduated from Hofstra University in 1972 and went from there to co-found and become president of the multi-million dollar Fairfield Properties real estate agency in 1973.
He has been a large contributor to McCain's campaign, but Broxmeyer has given much more to politics besides money. Former President George Bush Sr. appointed him to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, and he has served on New York Governor George Pataki's Board of Directors of the United Nations Development Corporation.
Broxmeyer also is highly involved with one of the most powerful pro-Israel lobbies, chairing the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a conservative Washington-based Israel advocacy and research institution. JINSA promotes cooperation between Israel and the United States on such crucial matters as security, missile defense, weaponry, terrorism, and the increase of weapons of mass destruction throughout the world.
He is considered an authority on Israeli security issues. Through JINSA, Broxmeyer has consulted with high-level security officials and diplomats from all over the world to help reinforce Israel's relationship with the U.S. and other key allies to achieve global peace. He often appears on television and radio news broadcasts as a reliable source on security issues.
