almost half the section is a quote from an anonymous israeli official criticizing the israeli government got rid of this there are two quotes from op eds criticizing the israeli government i did ask someone to put in a right wing voice for balance if they and seemingly you can't be bothered you can be sure i can't there is no actual statement from the israeli government explaining the reasons for denying the activists entry i have inserted a statement from netanyahu's office there is a statement of fact that the israeli government proposed alternative destinations sourced to an article saying that there's a plan to give them a letter not that they actually got one here's the letter as tweeted by the netanyahu's spokesman ofir gendelman i argue the burden is now on you to find a source that states either the israelis changed their mind that they did not give out the letters they said clearly and repeatedly that they said they would or a source showing that the activists said they did not receive them
