Yesterday one of my readers forwarded me a blog post written by the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and asked me to comment on it. In truth, I rarely find much point in reading Goldberg's self-absorbed writings.
Goldberg has carved out a little niche for himself. Many years ago he wrote two stupendous pieces for the New Yorker about Hizbullah and ever since he has been paying the ideological price. The Left, which Goldberg clings to for dear life isn't particularly interested in hearing about the dangers of jihad. So to prove that he is okay in spite of the fact that he reported on jihadists, he's been attacking Israel - and particularly non-post-Zionist Israelis -- ever since.
Goldberg is a disillusioned Zionist. He moved here, served in the IDF, couldn't make a go of things and went back to America to write about how horrible Israel is. He regularly divides Israelis into two categories: the "good" Israelis and the "bad" Israelis. The good Israelis are his friends in post-Zionist political circles. The bad Israelis are the other 90 percent of the country that remains Zionist and devoted to the country and doesn't care what they say about us on the BBC or write about us in the Atlantic.
