--Message/Instructions--
The Department of State does not clear
on the referenced VOA editorial.
This editorial will reach an audience
that is caught up in the violence in
Israel and the Occupied Territories.
The 17 or so dead sailors does not
compare to the 100 + Palestinians
who have died in recent weeks where
we have remained silent. The people
that hear this will not see the
separation we are trying to make and
relate it directly to the violence.
Eitehr VOA adds something in there to
take the edge off and mention the
Palestinians or we should kill this
editorial until the violence has
calmed for a while.
S/CT concurred with this. If you have
quesitons concerning this editorial,
please contact NEA/P [redaction ---

Thanks.
