A U.S. diplomat sparked outrage after being accused of having ā€œrepeatedly suppressed or significantly revisedā€ reporting to paint the Israeli government ā€œin a favorable light,ā€ including by ā€œstonewallingā€ lawmakers’ probes into Israeli killings of Americans, the New York Times reported.

That diplomat is David Milstein, a top aide to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and according to three U.S. officials who spoke with the Times on the condition of anonymity, Milstein ā€œstymied embassy reportingā€ on Israeli settler violence and ā€œsuppressedā€ a detailed embassy report on recent Israeli killings of Americans in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

ā€œNYT reports that a Huckabee top aide is a literal traitor, actively covering up Israeli killings of American citizens and falsifying embassy reports about Israel’s role in settler violence,ā€ wrote Jasper Nathaniel, an independent journalist who reports on Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.

    Others have to die for them to be saved. It can’t be as easy as them all offing themselves or the religion would work itself out in one generation. Others die so they can keep making excuse after excuse for their savior not showing up until the next appointed time.
