This week, Tom Friedman more than earned his keep at The New York Times by essentially calling for the “non-violent” destruction of the Jewish State. I am not exaggerating. Wait until you read exactly what he’s written in his column: “Lessons From Tahrir Square.”
First, Friedman calls for a “Tahrir Square alternative” in terms of the 'Israel-Palestine'” impasse.
Tahrir Square? Did the man sleep through journalist Lara Logan’s gang rape there? Does he view such a mob as “peaceful” or “non-violent?” Does he not understand that the young Egyptian Wael Gonim has, perhaps unintentionally, paved the way for the far more organized Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists to assume power? Does Friedman actually believe that the Islamist factions at war with each other and with their overlords, chieftains, and dictators, are all engaged in “non-violent” social change?
Friedman does not focus on Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh, Libya’s Moammar Qaddafi or Bahrain’s King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa —all of whom have been shooting down their own people in cold blood in the streets. He does not call for people of good will to “nonviolently” go and face these evil men down. No. Instead, listen to Friedman’s clarion call. He suggests that we should:
"Announce that every Friday from today forward will be ‘Peace Day,’ and have thousands of West Bank Palestinians march nonviolently to Jerusalem, carrying two things — an olive branch in one hand and a sign in Hebrew and Arabic in the other. The sign should say: ‘Two states for two peoples. We, the Palestinian people, offer the Jewish people a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders — with mutually agreed adjustments — including Jerusalem, where the Arabs will control their neighborhoods and the Jews theirs.”

Is her first name really “Prof”?
Yeah we know how peaceful moslems are on Fridays as they pour out of their hate mills--er--mosques, wishing nothing but good to all mankind. What a jerk. American Jews really need to wake the hell up. They really do.
Tom You are Jewish, right? Maybe they have a oven for you there.
Friedman is not the Oracle he fancies himself to be.
He is merely a Fool.
Six months in Beirut does not an Oracle make.
Tahrir Square? Did the man sleep through journalist Lara Logan's gang rape there? Does he view such a mob as "peaceful" or "non-violent?"

Tom Freedman is so predictable and boring. Who cares what he says. He is a hopeless and useless liberal.
