A video released by Netanyahu’s office showed the Israeli prime minister – a friend of Kushner’s father – embracing him and saying: “This is an opportunity to pursue our common goals of security, prosperity and peace.

“Jared, I welcome you here in that spirit. I know of your efforts, the president’s efforts, and I look forward to working with you to achieve these common goals.”

Kushner replied: “The president sends his best regards and it’s an honour to be here with you.”

However, journalists were prevented from even filming Kushner’s arrival at Netanyahu’s office. The Associated Press said one of its cameramen was prevented from filming the arrival of his convoy while another was ordered to delete his memory card of all images of the prime minister’s office.

When it comes to Israel the Guardian does not have a lot of credibility.

5. because the british are ashamed at what they did in the ME

So they project their shame onto Israelis, who they believe are colonialists like they were. Except they aren't.

The BBC did an internal audit recently about their Israel coverage, it was so bad they buried the report.
