Jonathan Tobin: What The Guardian And Al Jazeera Tried To Do With That "Mossad Memo"

Before Netanyahu’s speech, the propaganda organ of Qatar, and The Guardian,  teamed up to “discredit” Netanyahu by leaking what was described as a “Mossad memo” and then explaining to their audience what they thought that leaked memo meant. They made much of little.

Jonathan Tobin took apart both the Guardian and Al Jazeera, and that supposedly devastating-to-Netanyahu memo,  here.

Some, however, apparently insufficiently interested in the matter to go beyond what was offered by The Guardian and Al Jazeera, continued to write as if Netanyahu indeed was making things up, was crying wolf, was hysterical. And they continued to ignore the many members of the intelligence services in Israel who support Netanyahu, on Iran — even if they may not support his political ambitions — to the hilt. One of those is J. J. Goldberg, an editor at large for the Jewish Forward, who gloated over the Al Jazeera-Guardian report, taking it all at face value, uninterested in performing the kind of analysis that Tobin offered. Why?
