Trump and Netanyahu Steer Toward an Ugly World, Together
NY Times ^ | 4/8/2025 | Thomas L. Friedman

Each is a wannabe autocrat, each is working to undermine the rule of law and so-called elites in his respective country, each is seeking to crush what he calls a “deep state” of government professionals. Each is steering his nation away from its once universal aspiration to be a “light unto the nations” toward a narrow, brutish might-equals-right ethnonationalism that is ready to mainstream ethnic cleansing. Each treats his political opposition not as legitimate but as enemies within, and each has filled his cabinet with incompetent hacks, deliberately chosen for loyalty to him instead of the laws of their lands.

Each is driving his country away from its democratic traditional allies. Each asserts territorial expansion as a divine right — “From the Gulf of America to Greenland” and “From the West Bank to Gaza.”

The NY Times wants to go back to its antisemitic roots.

Friedman should just go ahead and apply for China citizenship. The man worships Mao, so he’s pretty much already assimilated.

The New York Times is the last redoubt of self-loathing Jews.

Too bad the WSJ's Daniel Pearl is no longer around to explain things to little Tommy Friedman.

So the NY Times wants Trump to let the world screw us over economically with non-tariff barriers

and they want Netanyahu to allow his people to continue to be terrorized and killed for decades to come

The true patriots in each country are happy that they finally have someone standing up for the long term best interests of their countries
