Pinkas appointment frozen...

According to JTA.
Up to now, everyone's been concentrating on Pinkas's motives -- which may have been complex. This raises the question, to me, of what exactly AJCongress were thinking.
“Recognizing the work he would be doing was going to be for the Jewish people and for Israel, there was no indication of difficulty in obtaining the necessary Israeli clearances,” AJCongress stated in a new release on Wednesday.
How naive is that? Aren't these organizations supposed to be a little more politically savvy?
I guess they were just too caught up in the idea of bringing Pinkas on board.
