When Kerry visited Israel last weekend to propose yet another
ceasefire, he attempted to undermine the Israelis by submitting a draft
proposal that completely favored Hamas. Despite the Israelis’ outrage,
including unanimous rejection by the Israeli cabinet, the American
mainstream media have largely swallowed the Obama administration’s line
that there was little substantive difference between the proposal
drafted by Secretary Kerry and the one released by the Egyptians earlier
this month. This is, quite frankly, untrue.
“Mr. Kerry and his team thought that the document reflected language that could be basically acceptable to Israel because some of it concerning border crossings and security had paralleled the November 2012 Gaza ceasefire and the Egyptian proposal this month,” reported The New York Times. “But rather than treating it as a working draft on which they could comment, American officials assert, the Israelis appeared to think it tilted too far to Hamas’s position and did not do nearly enough to address the security threat to Israel.”
