Having just returned from a press reception held near the D.C. Convention Center, I had the chance to talk with members of the working press, as well as some Israelis. What I heard &#8212; and I note that these are completely unconfirmed rumors that might not be completely accurate &#8212; coincides with Roger L. Simon’s speculations on his blog.  Roger noted that Saturday’s New York Times story about Dennis Ross and George Mitchell portrays Ross as essentially being too pro-Israel and Mitchell being virulently anti-Israel. The reporters emphasized that “Mr. Ross made clear that he was opposed to having Mr. Obama push Israel by putting forth a comprehensive American plan for a peace deal with the Palestinians, according to officials involved in the debate.” Mitchell, the story said, “argued in favor of a comprehensive American proposal that would include borders, security and the fate of Jerusalem and refugees. But Mr. Ross balked, administration officials said, arguing that it was unwise for the United States to look as if it were publicly breaking with Israel.”]]>Sat, 21 May 2011 19:47:49 -0400<![CDATA[Ron Radosh]]>https://pjmedia.com/ron-radosh/2011/05/21/the-aipac-policy-conference-a-report-from-a-press-reception-n183750
