Jeffrey Goldberg

As I predicted, in his role as representative of the Jewish people, Jeffrey Goldberg got a one-on-one interview with Barack Obama again, laying on hands to make sure that he wants to attack Iran.

In 45 minutes, Goldberg appears to have asked 23 questions, not one of them dealing with the 4-1/2 million Palestinians living without rights under occupation. Palestinians don’t merit a reference except when Obama disparages the Goldstone report and the flotilla.

But I guess that’s the point of the Great Game of the Iranian threat– take Palestine off the table.

Also, typically, Goldberg asks two questions about Obama’s relationship with Netanyahu. “Are you friends?” I.e., Goldberg’s ultimate test, do you like Israel?

Below, Goldberg seeks reassurance that Obama will resort to military means if he has to and that Iran is a threat not just to Israel but the world. Thus Goldberg seeks to solidify the idea that it is in the American people’s interest to attack Iran.
