at present, Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine
Glenn Greenwald explains how Goldberg joined The Atlantic
“In 2007, David Bradley — the owner of The Atlantic and (in his own words) formerly “a neocon guy” who was “dead certain about the rightness” of invading Iraq — lavished Goldberg with money and gifts, including ponies for Goldberg’s children, in order to lure him away from The New Yorker, where he had churned out most of his pre-war trash.”
Goldberg, a pro-Israel warmonger, would want Israel to rule the Middle East
he wholeheartedly supported Bush government’s 2003 invasion of Iraq
Goldberg’s Jewish identity had forced him to move to Israel in 1990
he became a prison guard where he met Rafiq Hijazi, a PLO leader
Goldberg, after talking to Hijazi, a prisoner, had a great discovery:
“I soon discovered that he [prisoner Rafiq Hijazi] was the only Palestinian I could find in Ketziot [Prison] who understood the moral justification for Zionism.”
why would Goldberg want a “moral justification” for Zionism
Zionism is a movement which, with the help of British, took over Palestine
you can’t expect an occupied Palestinian to justify occupying force Zionism
Goldberg further adds,
“For his part, I might have been the only soldier he met who didn’t deny the existence of misfortune in Palestinian history.”
“misfortune in Palestinian history?”
wow! Goldberg is a master bullshitter
was it some kind of a natural calamity which befell on Palestinians
no, Jewish occupiers stole the Palestinian land
on that stolen land emerged Israel which is financed for long by the US
Goldberg is in the news again
in March 2025, Goldberg came to know of a US airstrike plan against Yemen
he was unintentionally included in a Trump government’s Signal chat
after two hours, on Mar 15, 2025, US launched airstrikes against Houthis
J. D. Vance differed with President Donald Trump on bombing of Yemen
Trump, a business-being, received $100 million from Miriam Adelson
the money enhances Trump’s support for Israeli destruction of Palestine
Trump also has to be careful of the cancerous Israel Lobby
the US bombed more than 40 locations in Yemen
for what?
Houthis have attacked more than 100 shipping vessels linked to Israel
Yemen’s Houthis are showing their solidarity with the people of Palestine
Goldberg should have revealed the message he received to the press
it could have alerted the people and Houthis in Yemen
it could have saved 53 Yemeni lives, including 5 children, & destruction
it could have, at least, washed some of Goldberg’s crimes of warmongering
he didn’t do that
Binoy Kampmark is so right when he points out Goldberg’s hypocrisy
“Normally, the one receiving the message is condemned. In this case, Goldberg objected to being the recipient, claiming moral high ground in reporting the security lapse.”
Trump called Goldberg a “sleazebag,” which he surely is
instead, like a hero, Goldberg is giving interviews to hawkish media
(in 3 weeks, the US wasted $200 million worth of arms & ammunitions)
