During his 1989 interview with the Chairman of the "Palestine Liberation Organization" (PLO), Wallace enabled Arafat to continue professing his anti-Israel sentiments, without question and in the absence of his customary “probing” reporting style. When he asked Arafat if he had renounced “military operations” inside Israel, Arafat responded, “Any people who are facing occupation or oppression have the right to use all methods.” Wallace did not probe further or question the validity or morality of his claims. “In a 1988 segment on “60 Minutes” — 18 years before publication of the almost instantly discredited essay “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt — Wallace advanced essentially the same theme.
