“According to the website Israel National News, the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an cites Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.”
Ah, so you weren’t critizing News Max, but the original source. Well, other papers have picked up the story me, as well. So, now even if this is a Dan Rather type of relativity, the administration will be put into the spot of proving a negative. While it might not make much of a difference in the U.S., it will in Israel.
In other words, I don’t really care if the story is true.
