This (via IMRA) is a lot like one of those Escher drawings in which down is also up. And also flat. It gives

It's true that the current US administration has utterly failed to issue one word of condemnation of the atrocious violations of freedom of the "Palestinian press." But that, of course, isn't what WAFA, being an enslaved arm of the PA, was referring to.
