"...he employed traditional anti-Semitic slurs..."

Wouldn't a guy named Friedman be....Jewish?

The US is uniquely tied to Israel, more so than any other country. These ties are philosophical, religious, historical and demographic. They will not be easily eroded.

Tom Friedman is to factual journalism and true foreign policy scholarship what Lady Gaga is to classical music. He’s a pop culture guy, with as much credibility as the guy trying to sell kitchen knives on TV.

This, by the way, is how you eventually defeat the left. Characterize them accurately for what they are, which is to say, point out how little they know. Those on the left tend to take themselves very seriously. That is one of their greatest weaknesses.

He is, but I believe the name is German, which is not unusual.

Friedman and Obama are very similar.

Both are touted as intelligent but are actually quite stupid.

What seems to be eroding is Tom Friedman’s credibility.

Friedman is a German based name, however most often Jewish German names ending with “man” usually do so with one “n”, while non-Jewish German names ending in “man” usually do so with two nn’s or “mann”. I believe Mr. Friedman is Jewish as the spelling of his name also implies. Usually is the operative word.

"I sure hope that Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby."

Only a self-hating jew and a NYT columnist could write something so foolish.

Interesting. Yes, this Friedman is Jewish.

Then again, there's Daniel Friedmann, former Israeli Minister of Justice. :)

LOL!

This is the first time I think anyone has seriously laid a glove on Tom Friedman. He has always been this optimistic, cheerful fellow bubbling with new (bad) ideas -- now he's finally been cornered and called on a hard-Left attempt to stab Israel in the back, and to buddy up to nasty Lefties whose backstabbing is their meat and drink.

Yeah .... wonder if, at the end of the day, that's Friedman talking ..... or maybe "Pinchy"?

Leftists hate the Jews (n/w/s that many early radicals and socialists were Jewish), Leftists love gays and vice versa, and gays hate anyone who has a manly, moral culture with revelatory writings that include words like "abomination".

Pinch Sulzberger loves Lefties and gays. Maybe this is all an inch of Pinch.

Friedman is very Jewish, from the Minneapolis suburb of St. Louis Park AKA ‘Saint Jewish Park’. His own mother rued his anti-American and anti-Israel screeds. His father was blessed with dying young so he didn’t have to witness his son’s meshuggas. Friedman, quite logically, has gone from Israel-hate to Jew-(self)hate.

Im Tirtzu's reports were based on an analysis of course syllabi at all university departments and they concluded that there was a clear far left ideological bias inherent in course materials. Pro-Israel and non-hostile books and research were almost entirely absent from the curricula, they alleged....the department's faculty is dominated by anti-Zionists. It charged that nine out of 11 permanent faculty members were involved in "radical left-wing" political activities and that six signed a letter supporting refusal to serve in the IDF.

This is exactly what the Long Marchers have been doing in the United States, without even a scintilla of any realization among other academics that they are dealing with a political cabal, one intimately connected to a political movement that has murdered scores of millions.

The most intelligent, best-educated people in the United States have failed to detect the presence among them of the very deadliest.

The elephant in the living room is that liberal East Coast Jews don't much give a shit about Israel. Beamish Boy Tommy Friedman has many like-minded comrades who are his real audience. They are fat dumb and happy here in the good old racist USA. If Israel goes under, well, they got theirs, and they're here safe and sound, so no biggie.

Ok. He's also a vile corrupt son of hell and a low-life swine with putrid pig vomit for brains. He's lower than vermin. He's an America hating wretched retarded egotistical crackpot loser, and a foul disgusting puss-filled maggot of a jerk. I hate his evil rotten commie guts.

Yes, Tom Friedman is reputedly Jewish, but unfortunately there are some self-hating leftist Jews who think like (non-Jewish) anti-Semites.
