Friedman: White House disgusted with Israel

M: I’m disgusted with the White House AND Thomas Friedman.

Three time Pulitzer Prize winner, Thomas Friedman, shows a total lack of bias in his latest New York Times Op-Ed. We also found out he’s pretty bendy, since he is bending over backwards to slam Israel at every opportunity, while twisting their words and side stepping their very real concerns.

If the White House is disgusted with Israel it would not surprise me one bit. It is probably not the first time they expressed that feeling, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Someone should remind this administration that Obama isn’t President of the World.

Friedman seems believe there is no reason for Israel to fear this popular revolution! Democracy now! It always works out! It’s POPULAR! What could go wrong?!

Too many things, I am afraid.


Friedman: White House disgusted with Israel

Senior New York Times columnist describes Israeli cabinet as ‘out-of-touch, in-bred, unimaginative and cliché-driven’; says Jerusalem unable to adjust to changes in Egypt

The Israeli cabinet is cliché-driven and Jerusalem used the crisis in Egypt to to score propaganda points to the point where the White House was disgusted with Israeli interlocutors, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote Sunday.

Friedman, who visited Cairo following the recent uprising, described the Israeli government as out-of-touch, in-bred and unimaginative. He expressed concern over Israel’s future due to its inability to adjust to changes in the region as it sided with Mubarak until the very last moment.

Instead of listening to what the democracy youth in Tahrir Square were saying, Friedman says, the Israeli government frantically called the White House telling the president he must not abandon Pharaoh – and “used the opportunity to score propaganda points: ‘Look at us! Look at us! We told you so! We are the only stable country in the region, because we are the only democracy.’”

Ugh.

Ok, after I subjected you to Friedman’s opinion, I’ll make it up to you with this article by Martin Shirman on Thomas Friedman:

Go figure Tom Friedman
Op-ed: Top columnist writings on Israel ludicrous, offer wildly contradictory advice

Tom Friedman is journalist of undoubted talent. He has produced numerous insightful and thought-provoking columns on both US domestic politics and on international affairs that range from the ascent of modern India to the potential profitability for inventiveness in environmentally friendly technologies.

However, when it comes to Israel – specifically the Israel-Palestinian question – his writing morphs from the lucid to the ludicrous.

Indeed, since the beginning of the Obama Administration in late 2008, Friedman has sallied forth with series of articles that have not only been harshly critical of Israel, but also decidedly haughty and hostile. But as irritating as his condescending and contemptuous style may be, what is far more troubling is how the substance of his writings has become so detached from reality and/or so devoid of context.

[...]

Surely the time has come to treat Friedman with the disregard his undisguised bias and his unacceptable bile clearly warrant.

Hear, hear!

    Of course the White House is “disgusted with Israel.” Despite the best efforts of leftist academics in the US, Europe, and Israel itself, the damn country refuses to lay down and die so that Obama can brown-nose the Muslims without looking over his shoulder.

    @ buzzsawmonkey:

    Obama’s attitude is that of 3rd World Liberation. They believe that US allies are in fact vassal states of some ficticious American Empire. In Obama’s view he has a right as overlord of the American Empire to tell his vassal Mubarak to step down and he thinks he has a right to tell his protectorate of Israel to do his bidding.

    Tomorrow I have a thread of how Colombia is now seeking other allies.

This about the man who tossed the Dali Lama out the rear door past the gargage and left the PM of Israel to wait in the hallway while he had dinner with a rock star. The only constructive thing which can be said about the Obama Presidency is that he makes Carter seem good at his job retrospectively. The whole world ought to be disgusted with Barak Obama.

    Obama is pressuring Israel to not sell the Merkava tank to Colombia. So far its worked and since Colombia has a Rightwing government, they must persue their national interest. SOmething AMerica stopped doing after reagan left. America under both Democrats and Republicans persues global interest.

    Fast OT:-

    Disgraced gridiron great O.J. SIMPSON was beaten unconscious in a brutal prison yard attack, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

    Inmates cheered as a muscular young skinhead knocked him to the ground, punching and kicking him to a bloody pulp and inflicting injuries so severe he secretly spent nearly three weeks in the infirmary before he recovered.

    The humiliating beating left 63-year-old Simpson in agony -- and threw him into a spiral of depression so deep that he’s now afraid to venture out of his cell, divulge sources.

    Embarrassed by the fact that their most famous inmate was battered while in their custody, prison authorities have done their best to keep the incident secret.

    But The ENQUIRER has obtained the full, shocking details of the vicious pounding.

    The battle erupted at Nevada’s Lovelock Correctional Center, where Simpson is serving at least nine years for his role in an armed confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas in September 2007.

    Unknown to the former NFL star, The Juice has been a marked man behind bars ever since white supremacists overheard him brag about his sexual conquests of beautiful white women.

    “Unfortunately for O.J., a group of young skinhead punks were within earshot -- and they were enraged,” Simpson’s former business partner Bruce Fromong told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive blockbuster interview.

    This caught my eye…

    Juris Zarins, an archaeologist who worked in Saudi Arabia for 15 years and led parts of the national survey, suggests religious sensitivities play a role in the government’s limitations on archaeology . “They don’t want people fooling around with prehistory because it contradicts the Koran — any more than fundamentalist Christians want anyone to say anything is older than six thousand years,” Zarins told LiveScience.

    Eugene Robinson another stupid tool:

    The GOP loves freedom, but not for Egypt

    Judging by last week’s Conservative Political Action Conference, that’s a fair question. As Egyptians overthrew the three-decade rule of Hosni Mubarak, politicians who spoke at the annual CPAC gabfest in Washington ranged from silent to grumpy on the subject.

    Mitt Romney, perhaps the leading Republican presidential contender, gave a speech without once mentioning the upheaval in Cairo that may signal the most important geopolitical shift since the end of the Cold War. You’d think that anyone who wanted to be president would be paying attention and might have an opinion or two.

    Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, also believed to be considering a presidential run, likewise seemed not to have noticed that the world was changing. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty confined himself to criticizing President Obama for somehow appeasing “Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.”

    Argentina’s relations with the U.S. worsened sharply Monday as the South American country continued to hold military equipment it confiscated last week from a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane sent as part of a training course for local police…
    In January, Mr. Timerman hinted that the U.S. had tried to sell weapons to Argentina and suggested that Mr. Obama may be avoiding Argentina because the South American nation doesn’t kowtow to its foreign-policy requests.

    MoDo a No-Go… Maureen Dowd Denied Entry Into CPAC Blogger Lounge

    Yid with Lid wraps up CPAC with this amusing anecdote on old media meeting new:

    2) NY Times Columnist Maureen Dowd May Be Suffering From Some Sort Of Dementia. The blogger’s “lounge” where we worked was very crowded, and people without the proper credentials were not allowed in the room.

    On the second day of the event Liberal NY Times Columnist Maureen Dowd tried to get into the blogger’s lounge, lacking credentials she was not allowed to enter. Ms. Dowd was not happy and indignantly asked the person who blocked her entry, “Do you have any idea who I am?”

    What a sad picture, here was a woman who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999 and only 12 years later she was wandering the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel with no idea who she was. How the mighty have fallen.

    In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood To Become A Party

    The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has announced its intention to establish a political party, after the constitution is amended to guarantee the right to establish political parties.

    Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Muhammad Mursi said that the movement announced two years ago that it intended to establish a party, but refrained from doing so because the ruling NDP party had exclusive control of the parties committee.

    There was a thing on the radio this morning about some new kind of bifocals based on the liquid crystals they have in TVs, which can change from long-range to short-range vision simply by being tapped. Of course, you have to charge them overnight for them to work (seriously!), so no thanks as far as I’m concerned.

    Funny, ain’t it, how we keep getting new “advances” which all require charging, even as the proggies do their damnedest to reduce the amount of electricity available and drive up the cost of what there is?

    i’ve needed just very slight reading glasses for a few years, still 20-10 in both eyes tho.

    what does bother me is that i cant use the smallest aperture oculars on my telescope anymore. as you get older (past 30!) eye relief from eye to ocular begins to go up, no matter who you are…therefore, the pinhole-tiny eyepieces become very nice paper weights.

    Open Season on Abortionists in South Dakota?

    A bill under consideration in the South Dakota legislature would make using lethal force to prevent harm to an unborn child a form of “justifiable homicide” in certain circumstances. Abortion rights supporters are apoplectic over the legislation, calling it “an invitation to murder abortion providers.” Left-wing publication Mother Jones has a breathless story on its website today sounding the alarm that pro-lifers are, in essence, declaring open season on abortionists in the Mount Rushmore State:

    A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state’s GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.

    The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Phil Jensen, a committed foe of abortion rights, alters the state’s legal definition of justifiable homicide by adding language stating that a homicide is permissible if committed by a person “while resisting an attempt to harm” that person’s unborn child or the unborn child of that person’s spouse, partner, parent, or child. If the bill passes, it could in theory allow a woman’s father, mother, son, daughter, or husband to kill anyone who tried to provide that woman an abortion—even if she wanted one.

    Not so, says Republican State Representative Phil Jensen, who is the primary sponsor of House Bill 1171. “This has nothing to do with abortion because abortion is a legal act,” he said. “This only deals with protecting against illegal acts. We’re trying to bring some continuity to South Dakota code. Making unborn children a protected class under the law is consistent with the rest of our state code.”

    I’d solve the issue in favor of abortion rights: it is legal to abort an abortionist, regardless of the trimester. 3 trimesters a year, a 30 year old abortionist is in his 90th trimester. Pro-Choice!

    @ chickadee:

    This is not a bug,its a feature of muzz men. They are taught to believe we are all whores to be used and abused as such. Any self respecting woman should stay far away from them or if you must get a C&C or have a bodyguard.

    Hey, “uncovered meat,” you know…

    I really wish I could feel compassion or sympathy for her, but in all honesty she is a member of the Fifth Column Treasonous Media and has been an active participant in lying to the American people with regards to Islam and it’s practitioners.

    Just like the gays in Brittan who are waking up to Islamic “Gay Free Zones”. Will I gloat over this, no, but this is just one more example of these god damned imbecilic liberals getting exactly what they wanted.

    So I have no compassion or sympathy for her or the gays in Brittan, they forced this upon everyone, whether they wanted it or not, now everyone is suffering this, not just the fucking liberals, so no, no compassion or sympathy for any of them.

    Open Season on Abortionists in South Dakota?
    A bill under consideration in the South Dakota legislature would make using lethal force to prevent harm to an unborn child a form of “justifiable homicide” in certain circumstances. Abortion rights supporters are apoplectic over the legislation, calling it “an invitation to murder abortion providers.” Left-wing publication Mother Jones has a breathless story on its website today sounding the alarm that pro-lifers are, in essence, declaring open season on abortionists in the Mount Rushmore State:
    A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state’s GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.
    The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Phil Jensen, a committed foe of abortion rights, alters the state’s legal definition of justifiable homicide by adding language stating that a homicide is permissible if committed by a person “while resisting an attempt to harm” that person’s unborn child or the unborn child of that person’s spouse, partner, parent, or child. If the bill passes, it could in theory allow a woman’s father, mother, son, daughter, or husband to kill anyone who tried to provide that woman an abortion—even if she wanted one.
    Not so, says Republican State Representative Phil Jensen, who is the primary sponsor of House Bill 1171. “This has nothing to do with abortion because abortion is a legal act,” he said. “This only deals with protecting against illegal acts. We’re trying to bring some continuity to South Dakota code. Making unborn children a protected class under the law is consistent with the rest of our state code.”

    I’d solve the issue in favor of abortion rights: it is legal to abort an abortionist, regardless of the trimester. 3 trimesters a year, a 30 year old abortionist is in his 90th trimester. Pro-Choice!

    Finally a truly beautiful abortion law.
