61. Friedman, you're a diletant. Give it up !
(09.18.11)
62. May His "Worries" Increase
Dan ,   NYC USA   (09.18.11)
Hysterical Friedman and his ilk see history is moving against them and their dream of two states for two people is dying because Israelis are in no mood to commit suicide. May Friedman & co. wet in their pants!
63. US Media All Bark
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA, USA   (09.18.11)
Liberals are whining really loud right now because they know their time is coming to an end. They took a spanking in the last elections and will take a larger drubbing with the coming election. This could be as bad a beating as the one Mondale took back in '84. As for what is happening in the Middle East, another racist Arab movement that has become more beligerant. There is nothing that Israel can but to defend herself with such force that the Arabs never forget. God Bless Israel. The US stands with you!
64. Thomas Friedman sell your mension and..
Nora Tel Aviv   (09.18.11)
..make aliyah. Then you can join any opposition party you will wish.
65. Tom Friedman is a collaborator!
Steven Gilbert ,   TEANECK   (09.18.11)
66. Another Jewish Obama Operative
Dr Dave ,   NY USA   (09.18.11)
Last week it was Jeffrey Goldberg who ran the "exclusive" Robert Gates' Netanyahu hate fest rants for Obama. Now we learn from Maariv that Obama has political operatives in Israel trying to unseat Netanyahu & glue Tzipi to the PMs seat. The self-loathing Jew York Times has been running an unending onslought of Netanyahu hate editorial opinion pieces. Obama knows he's in trouble with Jewish voters and he wants to shift the blame entirely ro Bibi. People like David Axelrod don't sleep. They call idiots like Friedman at 3am and tell them to get to work for the boss.
67. Thomas Friedman is a first class Jew hater
Besalel ,   Great Neck, NY   (09.18.11)
Which goes to prove that there are plenty of Jewish Jew-haters.
68. SELF HATING JEW!!
proudzionist ,   Canada   (09.18.11)
Thomas Friedman is a SELF HATING JEW. Typical Friedman article. Israel is always wrong, and the Muslims are always right.
69. A shameless hypocrite is "concerned".
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (09.18.11)
70. Remember
Reality Check ,   USA   (09.18.11)
in WW2 this same newspaper's columnists advised US President NOT to bomb the railways to Auschwitz from their New York cafes.
71. The US is going down and he worries about Israel
Shaya ,   USA   (09.18.11)
Yo, Friedman. Worry about your Marxist president the shape of the US today. The US is on the slope of a depression. We haven't won a war in decades and we're becoming even more isolated then Israel. On the other hand Israel's GNP is growing, more chareidi are finding jobs and entering the military and given the choice between staying in Israel or moving to the PA the Arabs prefer Israel. Dude, Get a clue.
72. My growing list of people that I wish would just go away!
JohnC ,   USA   (09.18.11)
Jimmy Carter Barak Obama Joe Biden Nanci Pelosi Al Gore Tzipi Livni Roseanne Barr Thomas Friedman
73. Friedman
Canadian observer ,   Thornhill, Canada   (09.18.11)
Being a “provincial” Canadian, I am not fully knowledgeable regarding newspapers. However, I did notice three “sister” leftist newspapers that indulge in anti Israel propaganda. Haaretz, the Toronto Star and the NY Times. They borrow from each other and conceivably coordinate with each other.
74. Why doesn't Friedman come to Israel and say these things?
Devorah   (09.18.11)
75. Friedman is Obama's golfing buddy
jason ,   haifa israel   (09.18.11)
He is their propaganda spokesman. Concerned about israel yet praises obama who gave lebanon helicopters and drones against israel's wishes and gave syria entry into wto and sensitive communication parts. And the great hillary clinton called assad a reformer after 1,000 had been killed.
76. Friedman was bashing bibi for not loving the egypt revolt
jason ,   haifa israel   (09.18.11)
What a hypocrite this friedman is. With friends like friedman who needs enemies.
77. Thomas Friedman
Ted S. ,   Berlin, Germany   (09.18.11)
Friedman is right: Netanyahu isn't much to write home about. But Friedman is much worse. He is about on the same level as Livni.
78. Friedman, as he writes from Babylon NYC, USA!
Roy Dan ,   USA   (09.18.11)
79. Friedman and Israel
david goldberger ,   cooper city, fl.,usa   (09.18.11)
As usual Friedman uses a TV show to blast Israel. He hates BIBI and it is true that the Prime Minister is beholden to luvatic ,religious right. The fact is the PA does not want peace and still demand the to return. But the fact remains friedman stays in America because he really does not care about Israel
80. FRIEDMAN IS 110% CORRECT, as was
Rafi ,   US   (09.19.11)
former Mossad head Yuval Diskin and numerous other members of Israel's military and intelligence community. I'd rely on them any day before listening to what most of the hardline right-wing Talkbacks say here. Hope these right-wingers will take full responsibility for what is coming in the approaching days...
81. to 25
Salma, ,   Palestine   (09.19.11)
Look who's talking.So his job is not real?His wife does not mind sharing her billions with him so why should you. Always interfering in other people business.
82. to no 1
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.19.11)
Unfortunately he gets published and that's the significance.He certainly does not need the money-his ego keeps him going.
83. Friedman: Morally adrift, devoid of facts
Professor Miao   (09.19.11)
Why doesn't this chub just stay in his enormous mansion and lecture Americans about how they use too much energy? His hypocrisy is limitless.
84. "adrift at sea alone"
Arnold ,   Canada   (09.19.11)
I'm surprised at you Mr. friedman for this line you have used. I have read many books over the years that have shown that those people that stick to their principals when all others around them tell them they are wrong eventually prove themselves to be correct. We Jews who see through clear eyes know Israel has to stand up even if alone. When the world decides to put pressure on the Palestinians maybe something will finally resolve itself.
85. Thomas needs to find a new perspective...
RichInBoston ,   Boston MA   (09.19.11)
he is starting to bore....
86. i wonder.....
les ,   canada   (09.19.11)
if this nerd is wearing his brown shirt and steel studded boots to work. talking about self hating jews...what an idiot...
87. OBAMA THE NEXT TRUMAN?
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (09.19.11)
Harry Truman recognized the partition of Palestine and independence of Israel when in a position similar to Obama's: money was desperately needed for the 1948 and, as Margaret Truman related in her book, the Democrat Party faced loss of many millions of dollars if Truman did not support Israel. A better choice for Obama would be to sacrifice re-election in favor of doing something genuinely effective in settling the peace issue, like recognizing Palestine in the UNSC. That will give him a place in history. Obama should adopt the position of another famous American who said "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
88. Tom Friedman is....
jan ,   Jerusalem   (09.19.11)
A columnist for the New York Times and author. Big Deal. He is given an ear-because he was one of the the first Jewish American to adopt the Arab narrative and write about it. He seems to have no sympathy for Israel or it's issues i.e terror. He should have a different last name, then he would not be considered such an expert. I find him vile because he represents one side of the story while having an obvious Jewish name. He has leveraged that name to give himself more expertise to disrespect Israel.
89. This article speaks the truth
Nadya ,   California, USA   (09.19.11)
As an American I can't express my frustration with this situation. Our congressional leaders have sold out to AIPAC and our President is hesitant to act responsibly because of his upcoming election. Israel got itself into this mess and has totally isolated itself. America should not follow suit. Jews are only 2% of our population and much of the other 98% of Americans want to see an end to this situation and see a two state solution. Our leaders need to do what's right for America and the current situation is not it.
