Clay Waters uses a May 23 MRC TimesWatch post to complain that the New York Times “did its best to paint Israel’s conservative, pro-security prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as being disingenuous and stubborn in the face of President Obama’s reasonable offer for Israel to give up land to the Palestinians.”
And how did the Times do that? By pointing out that President Obama did not call for Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders but, rather, established it as a starting point with adjustments to be made by mutually agreed land swaps, and that Netanyahu and American conservatives “ignored that nuance.”
At no point does Waters contest the truth of what the Times stated — he’s just mad that it was reported at all.
