The New York Times explains in this op-ed piece why it has been promoting fawningly the King of Morocco

"the Moroccan king Hassan II was a liaison between Israel and its neighbors. The country’s distance from Israel was not a serious disadvantage then, and it is even less so today in the era of instant communication and intercontinental strategic partnerships."


PS The co-writer, Ahmad Charai is a pro-King propagandist.  He is a right-wing writer who has for a few years learned how to please the White Zionist Man in DC.  Even Fox News has promoted his musings.  Oh, and he wrote an article only few months ago saying that people in Morocco would never protest because they love their king.  Kid you not.  But all that does not matter, as long as he bows down to Zionists in DC.   And notice that the article only cites pro-government tools.
