"She is probably the best left-wing journalist in the country" he quickly answered, "and she was smart enough to break away and establish a contract with Pacifica. She did not want to be controlled. But Amy is also violently anti-Israel. She never ceases to feature Israel's wrongdoing. Neither she nor the rest of them can leave Israel alone as the number #1 world enemy."
I really appreciate Amy Goodman's work on most issues. But when it comes to Israel, she's out gunning for them with any shred of criticism she can muster. Amy's grandfather was an Orthodox Rabbi, so its hard to imagine why Amy is so obsessed with villifying the same country her grandfather worked so hard to build. She has company. Noam Chomsky, Michael Lerner, Ralph Shoenman, Uri Averny are just a few anti-Israel Jews. There attacks are not fair, not balanced, and shored up with questionable "facts". It just goes to show it takes more than a Jew to give a Jewish perspective.
Amy's great, but.....
