I believe these reports. I watched a video the other day about BiBi's former roommate (a US official) and him working for a consulting company - Boston Consulting Group in the 70's. They had a contract recently to study ways of getting the Palestinians to leave...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenfrom Google AI: The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) was hired in 2024 to help design and launch the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US- and Israeli-backed aid initiative. Reports revealed that two senior BCG partners secretly and without firm authorization modeled "relocation packages" and financial costs to encourage the voluntary emigration of Palestinians from Gaza.
Following the exposure of this work:
Project Abandonment: BCG stated that the unapproved relocation planning lacked buy-in, was run secretly, and violated the firm's standards. BCG officially withdrew from all GHF aid-related work by May 30, 2025.
Staff Firing: The firm launched an internal investigation and terminated the two senior partners responsible for the unauthorized modeling.
No Compensation: BCG stated that it never authorized the relocation planning or billed for any of the Gaza work, and the firm disavowed the project entirely.
Details of the controversy and the firm's disavowal can be found in reporting from CNN and investigations from the Financial Times.

Another interesting 1970's BCG US Official...

Mitt Romney began his highly successful business career at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), working there from 1975 to 1977.
Entry into Consulting
After graduating from Harvard University in 1975 with a joint JD/MBA degree, Romney was heavily recruited by top-tier corporate firms. He intentionally chose Boston Consulting Group to gain exposure to a wide variety of industries, believing that management consulting would provide the best foundational training to eventually become a chief executive.
At the time, BCG was an ambitious upstart led by its idiosyncratic founder, Bruce Henderson. During his two years at the firm, Romney applied core BCG frameworks like the famous growth-share matrix to help large corporations allocate corporate cash among business units.
The Connection to Benjamin Netanyahu
An enduring historical footnote from Romney's time at BCG is his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both men were recruited to the firm as corporate advisers and worked out of the same Boston office in 1976. They shared weekly brainstorming sessions and sized each other up early in their careers, forming a long-standing personal and professional connection.
Transition to Bain
In 1977, Romney left BCG to join Bain & Company, a rival consulting firm founded by former BCG vice president Bill Bain. His early strategic training at BCG laid the groundwork for his rapid rise at Bain & Company, where he eventually became CEO, and his subsequent role co-founding the massively successful private equity spinoff Bain Capital in 1984.

The standard, non-scandal connection between Bruce Henderson's legacy and Israel is the physical and commercial presence of his firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), in the country.
BCG Tel Aviv Office
While Bruce Doolin Henderson passed away in 1992, his corporate legacy expanded into Israel decades later.
Establishment: BCG officially established its Israel office in 2010.
Location: The physical headquarters is located within the prominent Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv.
Core Business: The Tel Aviv branch operates as a core hub for BCG's management consulting in the Middle East. It advises Israel's top corporations, tech startups, and public institutions on corporate strategy, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.
Leadership: The office is driven by a localized team of Managing Directors and Partners, including Asaf Eliakim, Or Klier, and Sharon Zicherman
Okay maybe I got a little bit of the story wrong...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo, It's not Mitt. It's a different US DoS official...
The current US State Department official you are referring to is Ambassador Michael "Mike" Herzog, who has served as the Israeli Ambassador to the United States (a key diplomatic partner working directly with the US Department of State).
However, there is a common point of historical confusion or crossover here regarding Netanyahu's roommates, his Boston Consulting Group (BCG) peers, and high-ranking US/diplomatic officials from that era:
1. The Actual Roommate (The US Official Connection)
During his time in Boston (specifically while completing his studies at MIT), Benjamin Netanyahu's actual college roommate was Eytan Bentsur, who went on to become a massive diplomatic figure and the Director-General of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, working directly as the counterpart to top US State Department officials (like Dennis Ross and Madeleine Albright) during the 1990s peace processes.
2. The US Official / BCG Crossover Confusion
The explicit historical overlap of a coworker at BCG in Boston who became a US State Department / Administration official belongs to Ira Magaziner.
At BCG: Magaziner was a legendary, brilliant consultant at the Boston Consulting Group in the mid-1970s, working in the exact same Boston office alongside Netanyahu and Mitt Romney.
In the US Government: Magaziner later became a high-profile Senior Advisor to the Clinton Administration (serving as the architect of the 1993 healthcare reform task force and working closely with the State Department on international electronic commerce policy)
Michael "Mike" Herzog’s relationship with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and Project Aurora is defined by professional distance, internal warnings, and subsequent legal entanglement.As the Israeli Ambassador to the United States until January 2025, Herzog was highly skeptical of the Netanyahu administration's push to replace established United Nations aid channels with experimental, privatized alternatives.
Herzog's Stance and Actions
The Warning Against the UNRWA Ban: Herzog actively warned the Israeli government that banning UNRWA before viable, fully functional alternatives were in place would create a humanitarian disaster. He cautioned that replacing the UN with private or state-backed alternative frameworks—such as the emerging GHF blueprint—was logistically reckless.
Distancing from "Project Aurora": While Netanyahu’s inner circle secretly coordinated with a rogue Boston Consulting Group (BCG) team to model the $5 billion "Project Aurora" population relocation plan, Herzog’s diplomatic office in Washington was largely kept in the dark regarding the financial and encampment modeling. Herzog favored traditional backchannel diplomacy and maintaining stable relations with the U.S. State Department rather than radical, corporate-led restructuring.
The "We Don't Need Urging" Stance: Publicly, Herzog continuously defended Israel's willingness to ramp up humanitarian supplies and create safe aid zones in southern Gaza. However, the privatized, militarized GHF delivery sites that BCG helped design eventually became what the UN labeled "death traps" due to intense violence, a catastrophic breakdown that aligned with Herzog's initial structural concerns.
The UN Commission Inclusion: Despite his internal policy friction with Netanyahu and lack of direct involvement in Project Aurora's creation, Herzog's role as the public face of Israeli diplomacy in Washington during the war's peak led a UN Independent International Commission to name Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, and Michael Herzog in its September 2025 investigation into alleged state-directed crimes against humanity in Gaza.
