Former U.S. Envoy Recommended Using NGOs to Foment Palestinian Protest in Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Former U.S. ambassador to Israel Thomas Pickering wrote an email to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Dec. 18, 2011, advocating the U.S. back - and possibly work through NGOs to foment - non-violent Palestinian protests intended to pressure Israel. Pickering stressed that the U.S. must be the silent hand behind this, and not be seen in any way as involved. There is no indication any part of this proposal was acted upon or put into practice.
