Israeli ambassador in the New York Times

If Israeli were to run an ad in the New York Times about its ambassador in the US it would not be as flattering and as fawning as this silly propaganda piece. I mean, look at this:  "He pointed to pictures of his three children, including a years-old photograph of his wife, Sally, with their youngest, now on active duty in the Israeli Defense Forces. “That little boy with his mother — there is my infantry officer now,” Mr. Oren said. “I’ve got these kids — their lives are on the line. The last thing we want is war. Part of our responsibility is seeking to avoid war. And if we can avoid war by raising international consciousness about the nature of the Iranian threat, then we’re fulfilling our responsibility.”"  I mean, can you imagine an ambassador (from an Arab or non-Arab country) allowed such room to vomit cliche propaganda wrapped with threats toward another country?
