Josef Korbel, a Jew himself, was the physical father of Madeleine Albright and 'the intellectual father' of Condoleezza Rice.
In his biography, 'Condi', Antonia Felix writes:
"Korbel became the second most important man in Condi's life, next to her father ... She has described Josef Korbel as the "intellectual father" she shared with Madeleine Albright who, like Condi, was very much her father's daughter." (p.92)
"Josef Korbel was born in Czechoslovakia in 1909 and studied in Paris before receiving his law degree from Charles University in Prague. His first position in the Czech government was with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in 1937 he became the press attaché at the Czech Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. He learned to speak Serbian, and made close friends with Yugoslav journalists, contacts who would become very important to him and his family when Hitler entered Czechoslovakia. Nazi troops entered Prague in March 1939, and Korbel, a Jew, was on a list of those to be arrested. Like several other Jewish families in Czechoslovakia, the Korbels had abandoned their ancestral ties. Whenever Josef had to fill out documents that asked for his religious affiliation, he wrote, "None." "Korbel was one of the very, very few Jews who succeeded in getting into the Foreign Ministry before the war," said one of his Czech colleagues in Michael Dobbs' biography of Madeleine Albright. "He did so by not giving any signs of his Jewishness."" (p.90)
From Israel's experience and point of view, it has not fared very well under the influence of the two secretaries of state: not under Madeleine Albright who was not known for her fairness to the Jewish people - despite being born a Jew herself - nor today under Josef Korbel's 'intellectual daughter' Condoleezza Rice, who endlessly prods Israel to make more and more concessions to the Palestinians.
Maybe - maybe - what started already with Josef Korbel's family in Czechoslovakia - the denial of anything to do with their Jewishness - became a trait in his character and world vision, a trait with which he also influenced the worldview of his intellectual daughter Condoleezza Rice.
Israel has had to pray the price again and again, often to its own national detriment, for those Jews who, "to be in with the Gentiles," have bent over backwards to ensure they were not seen to be favoring the people they came from themselves.
So even when Jews, or the daughters of Jews, hold positions of power and influence among the Gentiles, this is certainly not always beneficial to the Jewish people or the people of Israel. The opposite, in fact, is often true.
May Israel, at this present time of crucial importance for her destiny, be aware!
