The press is expressing marvel/shock at a speech by Philip Gordon, a White House adviser, saying that Israel’s ongoing “occupations” and settlements are driving its international isolation and the boycott movement.
“Philip Gordon blasted Israel,” says PowerLine. “[H]is oration read as though Gordon is a recent arrival from Planet Zog who has mistaken the Middle East for Finland,” says David Horovitz. His paper captures the story:
“Top Obama official blasts Israel for denying Palestinians sovereignty, security, dignity.
