[Bob Simon Anecdote: I lived in San Francisco in the mid 80s. I don’t recall what exactly brought me to Berkeley U, but one evening I found myself at an event being held there. Simon was holding forth before a few people and I overheard him say some ugly things about Israel. I moved closer and I asked Simon why he was badmouthing Israel? He looked at me and answered matter-of-factly , “Israel is a pariah state.” Then I asked him, “do you think that is justified?” I guess that’s when he figured out what side I was on, and he promptly turned away. df]
From the left-wing Jewish Forward. “He stirred controversy with a critical 2012 ‘60 Minutes’ piece about Christians in Israel. Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, sought to get the piece softened and Simon responded by lashing out at him on camera”.
Translation: Simon was responsible for fabricating another bloody canard about Israel. All part of the job.
