I think it’s interesting that Jeffrey Goldberg is starting to say things about Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel that I have been saying for a long time. I always feel somewhat defensive whenever I am critical of Israel’s government because I know it opens me up for harsh accusations, but I’ve never said anything that I haven’t heard some of my Jewish friends and acquaintances say with more passion and less forbearance.
Personally, I think we’ve gone far too long without being allowed to have an honest conversation about U.S.-Israeli relations, and now we’ve gotten to the point where some of Israeli’s staunchest defenders basically agree with the administration when they call Netanyahu a “chickenshit” and a “coward.” Now Goldberg calls Israeli’s policy “a disaster.”
Welcome to the club, Jeffrey, I guess.
