Hilarious: Israeli media propaganda

Look at this headline in the Israeli propaganda sheet, Haaretz:  "Israel is a strategic asset for U.S. national interests, according to new report." You then read the article and discover that the the new report was issued by none other by the Israeli lobby's research arm, known as the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  Hilarious.  The article makes it look as if the report was issued by an objective group.  And look how standards for Israel only get worse in the US: in the 1990s, US media would always refer to the Institute and its staff as "the pro-Israel" so and so.  Not anymore.  The Institute is now cited in the media as if it is an objective think tank.
