Re: “Netanyahu plays Trump and American Jews for fools — again” (Feb. 22, Opinion):
Columnist Thomas L. Friedman wrote, “Sure, Israel stays a … very actual nuclear menace. …” Oh, wait, no he didn’t. Just like the mainstream press and broadcasters comparable to ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC and PBS, Friedman has no spine.
There should be some underground media self-censoring occurring that calls for that experiences in regards to the Center East embody some repetition of President Donald Trump’s quite a few warnings that Iran can’t be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. By no means any point out, nonetheless, as to why Israel not solely will get to maintain its nuclear weapons, however it’s forbidden to even point out this in well mannered dialog — particularly when Israel is considered one of solely three international locations which have by no means signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Sure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is enjoying us for fools once more, however not only for the explanations Friedman suggests.
