Tom Friedman, Biden Mouthpiece: Force Israel to Let Hamas Win
Breitbart ^ | 06/18/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 06/18/2024 1:40:53 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

New York Times columnist Thomas L. “Tom” Friedman, a close associate of President Joe Biden, writes in his latest column that the U.S should force Israel to give up the war against Hamas in Gaza and let the terror group claim “victory.”

Friedman is a “conduit” for messages from the White House about Middle East policy, according to Politico, and therefore his column can be interpreted as a threat to Israel — an “ultimatum,” as Friedman puts it, on the war.

The columnist, once respected for his reporting during the First Lebanon War, has become a Democratic Party mouthpiece, and has even resorted to antisemitic themes. He hates Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with such passion that he urged Biden not to accept a Saudi-Israel peace deal in the weeks before October 7.

He is also the creature that ratted out Bernie Goetz 40 years ago, likely in a fit of “political correctness “!

Self-hating. He’s Jewish himself. Yuch.

“Force Israel to Let Hamas Win” says Tom Friedman in the comfort of his Bethesda mansion.

As a former graduate, an Alumni from the University of Denver, my Dept. Chair was Jewish. Since he is an attorney no names. His Curriculum Vitae/resume is longer than some short novels. If he does not know Jesus it all is for nothing. This is a professional real estate graduate Masters program. I spent years as a developer/commercial real estate. Now retired. Thank God.

It was mandatory in his class to read Tom Friedman’s “The World is Flat” and “Hot Flat and Crowded.” Both books lent nothing to my business acumen but everything to gobal downsizing “people” and pursuit of an Socialist agenda. And fifteen minute cities. His books “suck.”

These are the kind of people that have embedded themselves into our universities.

“once respected” is untrue personally.

I always hated the self serving POS.

A long time ago I purchased his book The Lexus and the Olive Tree on Don Imus’ recommendation. Read one chapter and put it down and never returned to it.

i sincerely doubt anyone in Israel, government or IDF or anyone, pays the remotest attention to Friedman. He may be a conduit…. To the sewer.

If Biden is taking advice from Tom Friedman, no wonder everything Biden touches turns to crap. Friedman is one of the most stupid so-called pundits ever.

In Law School, I had to take an Honors course that focused on one of Friedman’s books of support for middle eastern terrorists. As a USMC veteran who had seen the real chaos and murder in Lebanon in person, I countered that by voluntarily attending a really good anti-terrorist seminar at the Naval War College. I forget the name of the key note speaker (he was an Israeli expert on the law of war) who, back then, was recommending finishing the PLO & Hezbollah once and for all. Too bad no one listened to him back then.

Thank you for your service and reply. It is interesting to note that in Naval War College they discussed a hypothesis that included the IDF actually putting into practice battle strategy taken right out the Book of Joshua. He was a cunning tactician, nobody rebelled against him as they did Moses. IMHO.

If memory serves me correctly the PLO is still based at Jericho. No such thing as Palestinian. That was a name Roman Emperor Hadrian used to disrupt Jewish culture. Per Jewish Virtual Library. “the Romans crushed the revolt of Shimon Bar Kokhba (132 CE), during which Jerusalem and Judea were conquered, and the area of Judea was renamed Palaestina in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.”

Straight from Obama no doubt. Friedman is just publishing what he’s told to publish.

This war would have been over in a week if Israel just took the hint that the US and UN would never truly stand with them and just got the job done as we know they can without seeing anyone’s approval or support .

Friedman is another Jewish apostate who has abandoned his faith for money and power just like Schumer and many others. How they can go along with Jobama and the active destruction of the US and Israel is beyond comprehension. They pander to the very people that want to kill Jews and Americans.
