A Sept. 8 WorldNetDaily article by Aaron Klein cites “a top PA official” to claim that “The Obama administration told the Palestinian Authority it cannot significantly help advance a Palestinian state until after the 2012 presidential elections.” Klein goes on to quote the anonymous “official”:
“We were told to wait for Obama’s reelection, and that before then nothing serious will happen for a state,” the official continued. “But after the reelection, the U.S. said the schedule will be short to reach a Palestinian state.”
Klein’s boss, Joseph Farah, says that quotes from anonymous sources are “usually quotes made up out of whole cloth to help make the story read better.” Given Klein’s heavy reliance on anonymous sources, there’s no reason to believe that this is not the case here.
