Prince William Comes to Israel Under a Foreign Office Cloud
The notoriously anti-Israel Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has thus moved seamlessly from colonial hatred of the Jewish state to anti-colonial hatred of the Jewish state.

After visiting Jordan and Israel, it says he will spend time in "the Occupied Palestinian Territories" - the FCO's term - within which he will be briefed on Jerusalem's Old City and the Mount of Olives.
