Tongue-Tied

In the world's greatest democracy, USrael, freedom of speech is de riguer - except for USraeli State Department spokesmen:

Q: But when the German government has to come out and say that what Netanyahu said was wrong; when the leadership of Yad Vashem has to come out and say that what he said was wrong; when the Israeli opposition leader, Mr Herzog, has to come out and say that what he said was wrong; shouldn't the US at least challenge the accuracy of what Mr Netanyahu said?

John Kirby: I think what we're trying to do here is take a larger view. And rather than get into a commentary on every word uttered and every action taken...

But did they take a larger view when Ahmadinejad talked about the Zionist entity disappearing from the pages of time. So much hypocrisy! Why don't they drown in it?
