Notably: George Brinton McClellan Harvey, Wikipedia tells us, “was an American diplomat, journalist, author, street railway magnate, and editor of several magazines. He used his great wealth in politics. He was an early promoter of Woodrow Wilson, but they became bitter enemies. Harvey was a conservative who wanted Washington to protect big business from what he saw as unjust privilege by labor unions. He repudiated Wilson when he saw Wilson oppose political machines and threaten big business in the style of progressive era reformers.” Warren Harding appointed him ambassador to Great Britain. On this day in 1922, Harvey was the featured guest at a dinner marking the inauguration of a group called the Forum Club in London. He said in his speech–as reported on the front page of the New York Times the next day–that “An old adage was that an ambassador was sent abroad to lie for his country. He had done that, he said.” He also said that the world was sick and tired of war, and that there would not be any more war for a while: “You cannot create any great war in this world for years to come, because the people will not have it. They will not kill each other. That is very encouraging.” He hadn’t been kidding about lying.

That experience, of foreign travel, is very important to me, for the very reason that Israel continually claims that it is a part of Western culture. You should understand: the Israelis are not satisfied with having conquered us. They want to turn us into a colony of theirs, in every sense of the word, culturally as well. That means that they don’t want only to confiscate land, but also to impose themselves on the soul and thoughts of the conquered. It is very important for Israelis–in a sometimes touching way–to impress us. To convince us how much Israel is superior to us. And by the way, there is a huge difference between the propaganda that Israel directs toward the West Bank, where it wants to appear omnipotent, and the propaganda it directs toward the West, in whose eyes it wants to appear as a victim, surrounded by powerful enemies.
—Raja Shehadeh quoted in David Grossman’s The Yellow Wind (1988).
