The New York Times Hit the Trifecta on Sunday

Three AMAZING op-ed pieces--all on subjects I've discussed recently.

I've been writing about the Jewish hysteria over Barack Obama for weeks, but Tom Friedman hit it on the head today

And I have also written about the collapse of the Republican party and the significance of last Tuesday's special Congressional election in Mississippi. Well, Frank Rich got it pretty right on that subject today as well.

But the most amazing by far was Jeffrey Goldberg's piece on what it means to be "pro-Israel" and what it should mean. He is the guy who did the Atlantic Monthly interview with Obama but what he has to say about the bizarre relationship between the American Jewish community and Israel is right-on and way overdue.

I'll have more to say about this later but read and enjoy!
