No cables between the U.S. after the flotilla piracy or settlement defiance?
Just this?
"Israelis at crossing site were accused of graft" January 07, 2011|Associated Press
JERUSALEM — A key Israeli cargo crossing for goods entering the Gaza Strip was rife with corruption, forcing American businesses to pay hefty bribes to Israelis to get their products across the border, according to a US diplomatic cable released yesterday by WikiLeaks.
Hey, our government does.
The June 14, 2006, cable, written by senior US diplomats in Israel, said distributors for major American companies that included Coca-Cola Co., Caterpillar Inc., and Motorola Inc. complained of widespread corruption at the border crossing. It was unclear whether the practice still continues.
Israeli officials denied any wrongdoing at the Karni crossing, once a major shipping point for cargo entering Gaza. Its operations were scaled back after Hamas militants seized control of Gaza in June 2007.

That's a SEIZURE, huh?
Thanks again for the REPEATED OMISSIONS and LIES, AmeriKan media.
Thus they are NOT TO BE BELIEVED on any matter -- especially ALL THINGS ISRAEL!!!
Btw, Hamas foiled a COUP ATTEMPT!!!! I noticed they left that out, too.
The WikiLeaks document quoted a local Coca-Cola distributor as saying he was asked to pay more than $3,000 for each truckload of merchandise going through Karni. The executive claimed an unidentified high-level official at the crossing headed the corruption ring, but that it filtered further down....
Hey, the Israelis shake down everyone.
