That’s Called a Useful Idiot

On Tuesday, in the New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman, syndicated columnist of the New York Times, authored a lengthy column attacking Israeli policy in Gaza. The column was a near-comprehensive cavalcade of well-dressed neo-left talking points, and as such, gives us a great opportunity …
