Behind Newsweek's Anti-Israel Canard
(Times of Israel) Ari Lieberman - The sources for Newsweek's sensationalist allegations of Israeli spy activities in the U.S. were mainly anonymous, except for former CIA employee Paul Pillar. Pillar is a rabid Israel basher. In March 2014, he spoke at the "National Summit to Reassess the U.S.-Israel 'Special Relationship'" where he attacked Israel on everything from its defensive military operations in Gaza to its concern over Iran's procurement of nuclear weapons. He even attempted to downplay Iran's threat to wipe Israel off the map, claiming that it was a mere mistranslation.
