Connections to the Israel Lobby

In May 2010 ex-CIA officer Philip Giraldi named Bayefsky as one among a list of "prominent foreigners" who promote Israeli interests as synonymous with American interests in the US.[1]

Position on Cordoba House Initiative

In 2010 Bayefsky published an article on the right-wing website, Pajama's Media, where she attempted to establish an "Iranian connection" to the proposed Cordoba Center in New York City.[2] According to Eli Clifton, "Implied in her article — in which she concludes ominously, “The unanswered questions keep mounting,” — is that the Cordoba Initiative, acting as an Iranian agent, is seeking to bring U.S. enemies — as Bayefsky would no doubt label Iranians — on to the “hallowed ground” of the World Trade Center site."[2]
