Ive read that he is of Greek desent, but ive also read he is jewish. True ? If so, it should make you raise at least one eyebrow when one considers the apointment of Chertoff as well.

I have left 7,000 men for Myself who have not bowed down to Baal.[/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1][/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:5 In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:6 Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:7 What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for, but the elect did find it. The rest were hardened, [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:8 as it is written: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear, to this day. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [size=1][font=Book Antiqua]Rom 11:9 And David says: Let their feasting become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution to them.[/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1][/size][/font] [size=1][font=Book Antiqua]Rom 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent continually.[/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1][/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:11 I ask, then, have they stumbled so as to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:12 Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring! [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. In view of the fact that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:14 if I can somehow make my own people jealous and save some of them. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:15 For if their being rejected is world reconciliation, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:16 Now if the firstfruits offered up are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:17 Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them, and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree, [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:18 do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag--you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:19 Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:20 True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. [color=blue]Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.[/color] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:22 Therefore, consider God's kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness toward you--if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:23 And even they, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God has the power to graft them in again. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:24 For if you were cut off from your native wild olive, and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these--the natural branches--be grafted into their own olive tree? [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [size=1][font=Book Antiqua]Rom 11:25 So that you will not be conceited, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery: [color=blue]a partial hardening has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. [/color][/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [size=1][font=Book Antiqua]Rom 11:26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Liberator will come from Zion; He will turn away godlessness from Jacob.[/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1][/size][/font] [size=1][font=Book Antiqua]Rom 11:27 And this will be My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.[/font][/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1][/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:28 Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of their forefathers, [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:29 since God's gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:30 As you once disobeyed God, but now have received mercy through their disobedience, [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:31 so they too have now disobeyed, resulting in mercy to you, so that they also now may receive mercy. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Rom 11:32 For God has imprisoned all in disobedience, so that He may have mercy on all.

There were a great many of them on the surface of the valley, and they were very dry. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Eze 37:3 Then He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I replied, "Lord GOD, only You know." [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Eze 37:4 He said to me, "Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

[/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me; the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, a vast army. [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=1]Eze 37:11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.

If he's of Greek descent, then why does he have a surname of Romance origin?
2005-02-22 21:10 | User Profile
Counterpunch says he's Jewish.

Frankly, I'd like to have more proof for Negroponte's Jewishness than just some Arab's word - even if he writes for CounterPunch.

Might as well post the article then.
[QUOTE][B]Ambassador to Death Squads Who is John Negroponte?[/B] By GHALI HASSAN
The White House has appointed Mr. John Dimitris Negroponte to be United States ambassador to Iraq. He will preside over the largest embassy in the world, and housed in the Republic Palace (misleadingly named Saddam's Palace by the U.S. occupation). He will be protected by high concrete walls, barbed wires and more than 150,000 occupation force, including several thousands of foreign mercenaries armed to the teeth with the most violent tools. Mr. Negroponte is Greek-American diplomat. He is currently leading the diplomatic war against the people of Iraq as the U.S. envoy at the United Nations (UN) in New York. Negroponte is Jewish. A friend in Spain expressed his deep concern to me recently: " to appoint a Jew as ambassador to the Arab country that has been devastated because of the will of a cabal of Jewish neocons headed by Wolfowitz * Bush is just an accessory -, is like trying to put off a fire using buckets of gasoline".
Mr. Negroponte has served as U.S. Ambassador to Honduras from 1981-1985; a period during which the U.S. military aid to Honduras grew from $5 million to nearly $100 million, and more than $200 million in economic aid, making Honduras the largest aid recipient in the region. Honduras was the launching pad from which the Reagan administration runs its violent "war on terror" in Central American. The U.S-backed atrocities and terror were condemned by the International World Court in the Hague (1). Like most of his colleagues in the Bush administration, Mr. Negroponte is a "recycled reaganites".
At the time Mr. Negroponte was in Honduras, Honduras was a military dictatorship. Kidnapping, rape, torture and executions of dissidents was rampant. The military top and middle ranks were U.S-trained at the School of the Americas (SOA), the Harvard version of the CIA, based in Fort Benning, Georgia. According to Human Rights Watch, graduates of the SOA are responsible for the worst human rights abuses and torture of dissidents in Latin America. Some of its 60,000 graduates are notorious Manuel Noriega and Omar Torrijos of Panama, Leopoldo Galtieri and Roberto Viola of Argentina, Juan Velasco Alvarado of Peru, Guillermo Rodriguez of Ecuador, Hugo Banzer Suarez of Bolivia and Gustavo ÃÂlvarez MartÃÂnez, Honduras security police chief and later Honduran top military commander.
In Honduras the army intelligence unit, Battalion 3-16, which was involved in kidnappings, rape, torture and killing of suspected dissidents. In 1995 Gary Cohn and Ginger Thompson of The Baltimore Sun unearthed massive and substantiated evidence from various sources pointing the finger at Mr. Negroponte knowledge of the crimes. The reporters also found that hundreds of Hondurans "were kidnapped, tortured and killed in the 1980s by a secret army unit trained and supported by the CIA"(2). Reliable evidence from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Honduras alleged that Negroponte oversaw the expansion of U.S training camp and military base on Honduran territory, where US-trained Contras terrorists, and where the military secretly detained, tortured and executed Honduran suspected dissidents.
During his years in Honduras, Negroponte acquired a reputation, justified, as an old-fashioned imperialist, and devoted to Realpolitik (3). Mr. Negroponte will bring to Iraq his version of "democracy" ÃÂ la Latin America, where the people vote for one of two candidates every half decade, in which civilian leaders have to obey U.S-controlled militaries or face dismissal by military force. Mr. Negroponte will find the Iraqi soil fertile for his version of democracy and human rights. The U.S. administration turn blind eye to violations of human rights by their own troops and mercenaries. Nazi's methods of torture, sexual abuses and murder of Iraqi prisoners by the racist soldiers of the occupying forces are in use immediately after the invasion and occupation of the Iraq.
The occupying powers also ignores the criminal activities of four militia thugs, which according to exile Iraqis have murdered many Iraqi academics and intellectuals. The Iraqi-born novelist and artist Haifa Zangana wrote in the Guardian of London: "the peshmergas of the two Kurdish parties; the Badr brigade of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq; Ahmed Chalabi's troops; and the ex-Ba'athist Mukhabarats under Iyad Alawi's national accord. These militias are run by members of the IGC and no one can touch them"(4). The occupying powers have not put an end to these violent crimes.
Recently, Mr. Negroponte talked about: "real dialogue between our military commanders, the new Iraqi government and, I think, the United States mission as well". He said: "the American military is going to have the freedom to act in their self-defence, and they are going to be free to operate in Iraq as they best see fit". Negroponte stint at the UN was to shield Israel crimes against the Palestinians, and to coerce smaller nations at the Security Council exercising the threat of U.S. power.
Negroponte diplomatic responsibilities were appalling. Democracy and human rights are not on Negroponte preferred menu. Negroponte will be serving the interests of U.S. tyranny and U.S. Corporations in Iraq. Negroponte will bring to Iraq the economic disasters inflicted on the people of Latin America by the U.S. and U.S-backed corporations. Negroponte is not suitable to serve in the current political environment of Iraq.
