Hochstein was born in Israel, the child of American Jewish immigrants. A dual U.S.-Israel national, he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a tank crewman prior to moving to Washington. He was a foreign policy adviser to Democratic Party members of the U.S. government House Foreign Affairs Committee from 1994 to January 2001

Really makes you think

Think about what?

How good was his advice to foreign affairs committee in the years 1994-2001, and how unbiased he is now

Well from what I recall, that period was the time of unchallenged US domination

is hochstein's unparalleled advice the reason?

More to the point, its extremely normal to have foreign military officers to be advisors, i'm sure they won't carry any bias whatsoever in their advice. In fact usa should hire more saudi and foreign legion officers to get more brilliant opinions how to kill civilians to get resources
