New York – The removal of Moshe Ya’alon as defense minister and the elevation of Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman in his stead is the latest manifestation of a “dark hour” enshrouding Israel, leading foreign affairs commentator Thomas Friedman wrote in The New York Times on Wednesday.

The intense backlash thrown Israel’s way is a result of the country’s “desire to destroy itself” as evidenced by “Netanyahu’s steady elimination of any possibility that Israel will separate itself from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
“Soon, this newspaper will have to call Netanyahu what he’s made himself into: ‘Prime Minister of the State of Israel-Palestine’,” Friedman, the Grey Lady’s former Jerusalem bureau chief, wrote.
Israel’s rightward political shift combined with the diplomatic stalemate is a sign that it is “sinking ever deeper into a de facto binational state controlled by Jewish extremists.”
Whatever this self-hating Jew writes, you can be sure the truth is precisely the opposite.
According to Freidman, “happy hour” is the Iranian deal
Whats d medinah if not comprosed out of jewish extremists? There were half extremists & now hes so comfy that he appointed semi animals to his cabinet. Jabotinskys dream. Never give an inch of land. RAK BDAM! But, Netanyahy, not with our blood.
Who really cares what this self hating Jew says
When we had the Arab spring, we read about how the will of the people is what’s important. Israel is a democracy and this is the will of the people. Why ignore that?
Typical elitist NY Times, always putting a spin to their agenda.
Who cares what this fool says?
So what else is new?
The NYT remains as it always was, ANTI SEMETIC
If self-hating Jews like Friedman and probably Sanders say it’s a dark hour for Israel then Israel Israel is doing something good. Bibi, keep up your good work by getting rid of radical leftists who are out to destroy the Israel from within.
This Friedman is a very sick puppy who needs a big ר”שלמה, his sickness stems from constantly trying to gratiate himself in the eyes of goyim. Because then he will be a someone, otherwise he’s just another Jew. Michael Savage-Weiner has the same sickness, however he has more Jewish pride and is allot more contradictory and inconsistent then Friedman.
if Friedman says black I say white and visa versa.
He might be a self hating Jew,who knows.
Probably most countries or many are isolating themselves from Israel for reason of antisemitism,agreed.
Real Torah Jews want nothing to do with the state of Israel. Eretz Yisroel was stolen from Jews by Zionist atheist. They couldn’t of done it without the help of misguided brainwashed frum Jews.
True Torah Jews are praying that the state of Israel should dissolve itself by Hashem without ANY Jewish bloodshed “Vlamalshinim Al Thi Sikva.”The almighty has his ways how to do things.
A very clear understanding how dangerous it is Zionism and a Jewish state before the coming of Moshiach it is a must to learn the Sefer Voyal Moshe by the great Satmar Rebbe.
When my kids asked me what kind of Jews were able to sell out their own brothers in the Nazi era I show them a picture of this dude like him
Oh how those bastards Nazis would be delightful to appoint you to be head kapo
Pity u werent born yet then. Ud be promoted to as editor in chief of “Der Speigel”
Friedman was much more positive when busses were blowing up on a weekly basis. Now those were the glory days.
For those who care about good journalism the NY Times and Tom Friedman are it’s darkest hour.
Nothing new here, just another self anointed “expert” doing what he does best. Thomas Friednsn will continue to worship at the alter of liberalism even as he is being led to the gas chamber !
Ah, you should go and look at the beautiful video of Meron at the top of this page. All stripes, all kinds of Yidden dancing and singing and taking possesion of Eretz Yisrael. When we are together, we triumph. Don’t get caught up in the dialogue of dissent. Friedman has his opinion, others have other opinions. H”KBH decides …. look at the miracle of half a million people dancing in Meron on Lag B’Omer. Really, it takes your breath away.
A product of intermarriage, any wonder he’s so bitter and hates Jews so much?
This lowlife is NOT Jewish, only his father was, not his mother.
Good to wrap fish with!!
