Two Anti-Israel Idiots

Headline of the day, from World Israel News: "Top NY Times Columnist to Biden: Don’t be Netanyahu’s ‘useful idiot’"

Joe Biden is already an idiot and has done nothing to benefit the U.S. in  the 2 long  years he's been President.  Thomas Friedman has always shown his antipathy to Israel and should give up his American citizenship and go work for the "Palestinians".

Some excerpts from his infuriating column:

"In his newest anti-Israel op-ed Tuesday, influential New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman begged U.S. President Joe Biden not to support any Saudi Arabian-Israeli normalization agreement which receives the backing the current Israeli government.

Calling Israel’s democratically elected government 'not normal,' and charging that it is 'led by far-right Jewish supremacists,' the columnist gave the dire warning that 'four years of such an Israeli coalition in power and you can kiss goodbye the notion that Israel will ever again be a reliable U.S. ally.'

Thus, he wrote that the only deal 'that is in American interests' is one 'on terms that would almost certainly cause the breakup of the current Israeli ruling coalition.'

Friedman referred to suggestions that a possible deal between Riyadh and Jerusalem would include Israeli concessions to the Palestinian Authority (PA) in exchange for normalization with Saudi Arabia.
Friedman accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not wanting to give 'anything of significance' to the Palestinians and appealed to both Saudi and American leaders not to let Israel’s leader 'make you his useful idiots' by agreeing to any sleight-of-hand.

As a firm supporter of the 'two-state solution,'  Friedman instead suggested that the White House should demand that 'in return for normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Israel must freeze all settlement building in the West Bank in the areas earmarked for a Palestinian state, if it can one day be negotiated; not legalize any more illegal wildcat Israeli settlements; and, most important, insist that Israel transfer territory from Area C in the West Bank, as defined by the Oslo accords, to Areas B and A under more Palestinian control.'

Friedman made no mention of the thousands of terrorist attacks each year that Israel has suffered with the full support of the PA since giving up territorial control of the Gaza Strip and Areas A and B after signing of the Accords."
