<p>The new American ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, has <a class="external" href="http://twitter.com/#%21/AmbShapiro" target="_blank">a Twitter account</a>. What does he tweet? For example, a message on <a class="external" href="http://twitter.com/#%21/AmbShapiro/status/100960801732571136" target="_blank">his visit</a> to a missile battery (in both Hebrew and English).</p>
<div class="blockquote_wrapper">
<blockquote><p><strong>@AmbShapiro</strong> And here is the video of my visit to see the Iron Dome battery near Ashkelon. <a class="external" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/USEmbassyTelAviv#p/u/0/a3AT8Zgly4w" target="_blank">http://fb.me/HrUHkp4F</a></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>What doesn’t he tweet? His own State Department’s <a class="external" href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/u-s-deeply-concerned-by-israel-s-approval-of-east-jerusalem-construction-plans-1.377864" target="_blank">condemnation of settlements construction</a>.</p>
<p>(Same goes for the Tel Aviv embassy’s <a class="external" href="http://twitter.com/#%21/usembassyta" target="_blank">Twitter feed</a> – only this one had seven tweets from the Iron Dome visit.)</p>
