What would you do if you got this email?
you've
really got to read what Jeffrey Goldberg just said to a Jewish television audience. Something
is breaking, cracking, tearing. I have never experienced anything like this
moment!
Pretty exciting, huh? Sounds like a carney barker outside the bearded lady's tent. But my problem is I made a solemn deal with Norman Finkelstein the other day that I wasn't going to read Jeffrey Goldberg for a day, or a week, or a year. We didn't agree on the terms.
So I can only read Dan Fleshler's post about Goldberg, which says that per Goldberg, dual loyalty is about to become an issue; because Israeli and U.S. interests now diverge with respect to Iran, at last.
Goldberg's a day late and a dollar short. The interests diverged a long time ago, certainly with the Iraq war, which Goldberg supported with (negative) landmark journalism. By anticipating dual loyalty issues, this former soldier for Israel seeks to immunize himself against the allegation, retrospectively.
