First, the “Likud/Likudnick” comment is not something “he needs to modify” but is a LOUD AND CLEAR sentiment he is expressing freudian slip or not.
On the contrary it shows his sentiments and feelings come directly out of the far left and Pat Buchanan playbook on the so-called “Israeli” influence in American politics and media.. You konw the canard that most Jews and powerful Jewish organizations at the least are stubborn Likudnicks and are thus responsible for preventing so-called “progress” in the situation that could likely otherwise be achieved.
It’s a prejudicial or at the least simplistic way of explaining the situation at Finkelstein/Chomsky events as to the “reason” why the “American public isn’t hearing the **real** story”….
As Nader correctly pointed out his gut instinct is to be Pro Palestinian or at the least very far left wing in his sentiment towards the situaiton.
Note, an article at EIntifidah by none other than the irritating Ali Abumninah noted that Obama told him the same thing in Illinois when he was running for Senator… that he had to appease the Jewish community for the time being. Abuminah noted dissappointedly that he had ‘apparently’ made statements that contradicted his sentiments expressed to him in private and in public at various Arab and Muslim public events.
That would mean he is in agreement with many of his already chosen foreign policy advisers who are lockstep far left Jimmy Carter people.
Robert Malley, a Clinton holdover, as well who wrote the revisionist Camp David screed which said that “poor” Arafat was pushed around and “rushed” by Clinton and Barak… (ahem do I really need to comment on that last statement?)
