Defying the White House is the Proper Thing to Do

 

The mutual recriminations between US and Israeli officials following John Kerry’s controversial ceasefire proposal have produced more heat than light. The State Department claims that Kerry’s proposal was a mere draft that did not reflect the position of the US government.
