"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

CIA as Middle East mediators?

...it helped broker an Israeli-Palestinian agreement in Bethlehem. CIA agents carried offers and counter-offers between the two sides. They were present at Manger Square as the crisis wound down and Palestinians prepared to emerge from the church. When a last-minute hitch over the fate of the guns inside the besieged building held up the deal, the American agents solved it by taking possession themselves of the weapons.

Apparently they also have closer and more credible ties with Palestinian and Israeli security forces.
