"The government of Israel does not make policy for the United States," the official said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the diplomacy.

Well, that is interesting now isn't it.

Terribly...

...as Sharon said half in jest "I own the USA"

Man, they really aren't helping their image. Some sensitive issues you don't joke about.
