Here's a headline from the LA Times: "US Jewish Groups Oppose Trump's Choice For Ambassador to Israel". Think about that and what it means.
Most people reading that headline would think that the American Jewish community was rising up in opposition to Trump's choice. That, however, is not what is happening. Quite the contrary is true. Most Jewish groups that have commented on the nomination have been pleased with it. In fact, the only group so far to criticize the nomination has been J Street which is a far left Jewish group that basically sides with the Palestinians in the Israeli/Palestinian dispute.
So would it surprise you to hear that the Palestinians oppose a choice for US ambassador to Israel. Most likely, the answer to that is no. On the other hand, if you promote the idea that Jews are upset about Trump's choice for that post, you convey something very different.
Congratulations to the LA Times for today's version of fake news.
