Thomas Friedman: 'Harris lost because of woke anti-Israel progressiveness'. [October 8th, a day after the massacre, college "students" were already protesting Israel]
INN ^ | 11.7.24

Posted on 11/07/2024 3:20:03 AM PST by Words Matter

In an interview with Israeli journalist Ilana Dayan on Galei Tzahal, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman blamed US President-Elect Donald Trump's victory on the progressive and anti-Israel left. Friedman told Dayan that the main reason for Harris's defeat was the "woke progressiveness," as well as the fact that as early as October 8th, a day after the massacre, college students were already protesting Israel. Regarding Trump's future policies on the Middle East, Friedman says that one must remember that Miriam Adelson gave millions of dollars to Trump's campaign, so there should be no expectation that Trump will promote a two-state solution. Friedman also discussed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's phone call to the President-Elect. According to Friedman, Netanyahu called Trump so quickly not only because he was happy about the victory but also because he is afraid of him. The columnist also blamed First Lady Dr. Jill Biden for the fact that President Biden did not decide to leave the race early enough and did not leave time for more orderly primaries.

The wokism is a resilient disease of narcissism confabulation with psychopaths.

I have a Palestinian auto mechanic and while he is ambivalent on Trump for foreign policy, he is quite upbeat about him for the economy as any normal fair minded arab muslim would be. I dont think arabs recognize themselves in liberals much, especially those with successful business.

The Clinton speech in Dearborn was needy and pathetic, and I bet the Obama “hope and chwnge” speeches on narcissistic transformation to con people do not impress them. These HarleyQueens of politics keep seeking their Joker boyfriend, and that is distressing enough. They should be watched as enablers.

Thomas Freidman is wrong about everything all the time.

He’s a dunce.

An issue they didn’t seem to touch on much was “It’s the economy stupid.” I believe that enough people were scared as hell that inflation would continue and would literally wipe them out, and that food and other essentials would be prohibitively expensive.

Of course economy is the first issue.

I guess he touched on the foreign policy related subjects when talking to media outside the US.

I watched UK’s Skynews interview with Masad Boulos [Christian Lebanese Arab, Tiffany’s father-in-law], how she hammered again and again about Gaza and Lebanon how he stood fast and explained that there are targets Israel needs to finish and that the 2016 “muslim ban” was about vetting ..

Inflation, rising crime, and the migrant invasion all hurt Harris.

The American public should appreciate the fact that we will always have left wing Marxist scams. It’s the way those people operate. Islamophobia was a scam after 9/11. Free Palestine was a scam after October 8th. Marxists lie, it’s just that simple.

"Inflation, rising crime, and the migrant invasion all hurt Harris."

It was nice of her to admit that she was part of all of it.

“The columnist also blamed First Lady Dr. Jill Biden for the fact that President Biden did not decide to leave the race early enough and did not leave time for more orderly primaries.”

Same here! This deranged woman loved all the status and kiss-ass from being First Lady. She was 100% into this. While Joe Potatoes was 30% into staying as President.
Fake Doc Jill violated the original pact with the Obama Cabal. That Joe would be a caretaker - one term President. That Joe would not run for re-election.

Thanks vainglorious Doc Jill for helping Trump to win, and wipeout your DemonRat party!

This article does not make sense.
Trump has been proven to be genuine supporter of Israel, not just been bought by Adelson, like Friedman suggests!
Netanyahu is not afraid of Trump! They seem to like each other.
And Trump 45 found the only good solution for the conflict, which was then negated by Biden-Harris disastrous policies.
I am sure they are rejoicing in Israel right now!

Plus, she’s OBVIOUSLY an addle-brained, completely unskilled, empty suit. It was impossible to miss that.

“...so there should be no expectation that Trump will promote a two-state solution.”

I’m not even close to being an expert on the issues in the middle east. But did I not see Muslim leaders and Jewish leaders being very outspoken in their public support of PDJT?
