During the ARAB CENTERS webinar to which I circulated a link earlier today (https://arabcenterdc.org/event/one-year-after-october-7-how-have-us-and-eu-foreign-policies-evolved), Ambassador Chas Freeman explained from his long years of experience why a certain type of person is habitually entrusted by all American administrations with directing U.S. policies toward Palestine/Israel.

The brief article at the link transmitted below offers an example of such a person.

While carpet bombing UNIFIL peacekeepers may not yet be a component Israel's battle plans for emptying southern Lebanon of Lebanese, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were injured by deliberate Israeli tank fire today (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/10/israeli-forces-fire-on-un-peacekeepers-in-lebanon-wounding-two).
