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.

    I know that. Hence the words ā€˜if’ and ā€˜was’. I was just pointing out that if their delusion was true, that four-part statement wasn’t that out there since the actual biblical ā€˜god’ is a murderous, violent asshole.

    In fact, it’s sadly a lot closer to the described ā€˜god’ than the current Christian ā€˜god loves everyone’ aesthetic that’s going around.
