Did Bob Simon do a hatchet job on Israel in his “60 Minutes” slot, entitled “Christians in the Holy Land”? Of course he did. Should he have been surprised – and even put out -that Israel’s US Ambassador Michael Oren presumed that he would do a ‘hatchet job’ on a story on Israel? Well, that is another matter. But he did attempt to browbeat Oren and even manipulated an anti-Semitic metaphor (Jews caring about money) to do so.
