Israel is “diplomatically isolated,” a Feb. 5 Associated Press news story ventured, framing its Olympic bobsledding team as “unlikely ambassadors” in a lonely diplomatic desert. At the United Nations, where Israel is treated like an international pariah and condemnation flows like Iranian oil, the outlet’s description of the Jewish state as “diplomatically isolated” deeply resonates.
