Israel vs. N.Y. Times
Thomas Friedman is right. (“Israeli officials escalate war of words with N.Y. Times, Dec. 22) Even though he did not spell it out, Israel has its own version of the “tea party” in the form of a fringe group of radicals consisting primarily of extreme right wing Orthodox Jews who, even though they represent only 10 percent of Israel’s population, control Netanyahu and his coalition government.
