NYT Columnist Blames Palestinians For Being Shot

Thomas Friedman, who has a shameful & disgusting history of warmongering & victim blaming, blames Palestinians for being shot.

With the insanity of the system, I ain’t surprised that they purposefully construe events to signify the blame lays on the Palestinians and not the Isræli government. And as I shall be the broken record that I am, we must continuously be on the front to call out bs like this and be ready to correct such. We must maintain this anti-imperialist line were we stand with them critically. Until this nightmare is truly over and then we can struggle with them were we disagree.

"We could've hit Saudi Arabia" - Naw dawg, they're paying us to be there

"We could've hit Pakistan" - Nope, they've got nukes

Douchebag translation: "Iraq was the tallest blade of undefended oil-producing grass in the middle east, and it needed to be cut."

Big plusses for the US:

The price of oil rises, increasing the value of the dollar
Saudi Arabia removes a legitimate market competator
US arms manufacturers and supporting industries gain massive amounts of income from the war effort

Normally I don't expect journalists to really be into the narrative they shill, but Friedman has some definite aggression in his voice. Like he'd rehearsed in front of a mirror in the bathroom that morning. "Well you- no... Well.. suck on... Mmm- naw, Well YOU can...."

Another note - this guy loves the phrase "flower of youth". I wonder what his google search history looks like.

On Israel: The United States is eventually going to lose its military power, and when it does, what does Israel expect to have happen? How can a country so aggressive ever hope to atone for the crimes it's perpetrated?

The same goes for the United States. How does a country atone for unmitigated military aggression from the Korean War onward?
