RE THOMAS FRIEDMAN DAVID BROOKS AND TODAYS NYT EDITORIAL

He criticizes the GOP for out Israeling the Democrats, even though apparently no one has outdone the Obama administration for kowtowing to the Israelis' whims on security.

The truth, perhaps, is that Friedman himself is now running scared about how overly far the US, both parties, long have gone, 


for decades now,


in coddling his favorite resolutely anti globalist nation state.

For the dyed in the wool globalist,

Israel, and Israeli expansionist nationalism, are a dreadful liability. However, the subtext has to be that he couldn't be happier that both parties have clambered over themselves to support his Israel.

Similar comments might apply to David Brooks. 


He would criticize the party du jour, but keep that good financial and military support for Israel coming (notice that Friedman does not say cut back on anything like that from way overly generous Obama).
