““Barak is still a decision-maker? That’s why the country in such deep shit.””
.
That was a sarcasm. Hardly there are ANY important decisions that are in Barak’s sole prerogative – he’s too cheap to be trusted.
.
“Isn’t Israel the land of economic miracles, awash with milk, honey, kosher wines and microchips?”
.
Well, apparently yes, given lack of natural resources and HUGE expenditures on defense.
.
“Barak is in the command and planning nexus of the sweeping plan of Judaization and de-Arabification of wide swaths of West Bank”
.
Nonsense.
.
“somehow does not fulfill Barak’s (and Netanyahu) need for grand achievements”
.
Even greater nonsense.

“Barak is still a decision-maker? That’s why the country in such deep shit.”

Sometimes I try to absorb Hasbarah as the divinely revealed truth, but every attempt is sabotaged by such remarks. Isn’t Israel the land of economic miracles, awash with milk, honey, kosher wines and microchips? Apparently, not.

In the meantime, Barak is in the command and planning nexus of the sweeping plan of Judaization and de-Arabification of wide swaths of West Bank, to be affected with most humane varieties of repressions and demolitions, hence slowly and methodically. This effort, while extremely vital to the Jewish Project, somehow does not fulfill Barak’s (and Netanyahu) need for grand achievements, something that would allow the subsequent generations to form sentences like “famous commanders like Alexander the Great, Duke of Wellington or Ehud Barak blah blah blah.”

That’s anonymity. I’ve never seen Israel and even I know that musical military man means Barak.

Least he didn’t discuss the 96 key points of the discussion (laid out in black and white).

This is an example how to properly treat a giant (as some giants do not have boots, bootlicking is not as universally applicable as the linked photo): http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/good-sht-treeless-paper-made-from-elephant-poop.html

Bootlicking, as opposed to what? +972? You guys use your tongues as well as any other journalists, no more but no less. Here’s an example, currently on your site, of an Israeli author getting it well-licked: Sami Michael’s speech is introduced here as “a ‘cri de coeur’ that is full of love and grief.”

Political journalism is a slime pit, and the best and least slimy of the journalists are those who don’t try to deny it. You guys (as a whole) are no worse than the others, but don’t flatter yourselves that having the right politics somehow puts you above all the rest.

@Philos, do note that I have by no means compared WC to Mr Barak, but I have merely tried to point out the nonexistent connection between Mr Reider’s assertions and conclusions.
A comparison between the two personas is naturally ridiculous, but while I do share many people’s harsh criticism of Barak’s personal traits and values, I still try to keep my mind open to what he says.
And my question still stands: Doesn’t the author have anything more concrete to say about Mr Barak’s assertions?
