The information is highly embarrassing to Moroccan authorities, who have cooperated with the United States against other Muslims for decades. Next time, the Moroccans will be wary of providing clandestine assistance to America, which has a peculiar habit of putting legal niceties above national security.

Arab countries routinely attempt to buy politically sensitive properties in Jerusalem, and Israeli security services torpedo the deals. The approval for the Moroccan purchase had to come from high echelons of power, a payoff for Morocco’s benevolent stance toward Israel. Never mind that Morocco is similarly well disposed toward the Palestinian terrorists in a bid to maintain good relations with everyone.

Although most people in the West are unaware of it, Morocco runs a colonial policy in the sub-Saharan region which dwarfs the Israeli settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria.
