The Obama administration has been waging a secret media war in capitals across two continents blaming Israel for the recent collapse of peace talks with the Palestinians, according to former Israeli diplomats and Washington, D.C. insiders familiar with the peace process. ...
These administration officials have planted several stories in Israeli and U.S. newspapers blaming Israel for the collapse of peace talks and have additionally provided reporters with anonymous quotes slamming the Israeli government.
The primary source of these multiple reports has been identified as Middle East envoy Martin Indyk and his staff, according to these insiders, who said that the secret media campaign against Israel paved the way for Secretary of State John Kerry to go before Congress on Tuesday and publicly blame Israel for tanking the talks.
Huh. The administration is planting stories. False stories.
Oh, no worries. Nobody will get outraged over this.
The people horrified that our military paid to have stories--accurate stories--placed in Iraqi media during the Iraq War to support winning that war will not be equally horrified about this effort.
Everything really is better with hope and change.
