The Anti-Defamation League recently criticised General Petraeus (linked below) for his comments on the situation in Israel-Palestine. In a Senate testimony, Petraeus referred to the ongoing conflict as problematic, interfering with U.S. goals in the Arab world and encouraging “anti-American sentiment.” According to the ADL, this sentiment is not only wrong, but “dangerous and counterproductive.”
Is lack of progress on the Israel-Palestine issue an impediment to U.S. goals in the Middle East?
