I share Jewish blogger Richard Silverstein’s anger:
I cannot believe what I’ve just read in the N.Y. Times. Joe Biden, in what appears to be either one of his monumental off the cuff gaffes; or else a major change in Obama administration policy–gave Israel a green light to attack Iran.
Yeah its troubling alright. I think Chomsk’y line was probably most reasonable, in that he just said simply that no Israel doesnt have the right to use arms to defend itself. As if this is “defense” anyway. Surely its aggression.
