A leading Dutch counterterrorism agency says Israel and the US pose a threat to The Hague, while accusing Tel Aviv of trying to manipulate public opinion and policy in the country.
The above story received little, if any, coverage by U.S. MSM or Western Media. Very peculiar.
"...accusing Tel Aviv of trying to manipulate public opinion and policy in the country." SHOCKING! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No AIPAC-like org in Norway? Yet?
RT: Israeli settlers attacked Russian diplomat.
A Russian diplomatic vehicle was attacked last week by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, resulting in mechanical damage, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday. She added that Russia considers the incident a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
According to Zakharova, the incident occurred on July 30 near the illegal Israeli settlement of Giv'at Asaf, located just east of Ramallah and about 20 kilometers north of Jerusalem. She said the settlers also shouted threats at the diplomats. The spokeswoman slammed the Israeli military’s failure to intervene, denouncing their inaction “particularly puzzling.”
“The Israeli Defense Force soldiers didn’t even bother to try and stop the attackers’ aggressive actions,” she said.
The vehicle was carrying members of Russia’s diplomatic mission to the Palestinian Authority, who are also accredited with Israel’s Foreign Ministry, according to Moscow.
“We regard this incident as a blatant violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,” Zakharova said, adding that the Russian embassy in Tel Aviv has submitted an official note to the Israeli authorities.
Apply the same standard but make it an Israeli Diplomatic envoy being left undefended while under attack and it'd be U.S. headlines for a week.
