"Even more disturbing is the extent to which this U.S. government-funded outlet is seeking direction in its programming from a such a hardened pro-Israel ideologue and operative like Josh Block, often at the center of some of the most toxic Israel Lobby campaigns. And it highlights how Israel advocates like to compile and maintain lists of Officially Approved Spokespeople whom they deem are sufficiently pliant and thus can be heard when someone needs to hear from a Palestinian perspective."
