Rice Now Going Out Of Her Way To Insult Israelis, Enforce Second-Class Diplomatic Status

BFFs

We don't know if the thing about the door is true (we wouldn't be surprised) - but this certainly happened. As Tzipi Livni was rushing back to her hotel to make it home before the Sabbath, Condi Rice was violating every norm of diplomatic decorum:

While Livni was making her panicked way to the Brussels Hilton, a professional colleague, Condoleezza Rice, was making hers to the Joseph Luns Press Theater, where she revealed publicly what she had told Livni privately: Don't build at Har Homa, Rice said. Don't expand the settlements, don't obstruct the political process. That's contemporary diplomacy for you: Even before the Israeli foreign minister had had a chance to update her ministry officials as to the content of her conversation with her American counterpart, Rice took pains to broadcast to the whole world, and particularly to the Palestinians, that the conduct of the Israeli government after Annapolis is continually being monitored... Another colleague of the two women, Sergei Lavrov, took advantage of his turn in the Luns Theater to emphasize another message: In the post-Annapolis period, Russia sees great importance in encouraging Israel-Syria talks "about the Golan Heights." Lavrov described the goal of this type of communication - that is, the price Israel will pay has already been determined

Couple this with State Department careerists who are worming their way into the intelligence community and undermining efforts to keep Iran from getting the bomb, and it may well be the case that the State Department is now independently pursuing a comprehensive, multilevel anti-Israel agenda. And they're not being particularly bashful about it.
