[...] Freeman left, the fight over the meaning of his action only got bitterer. Freeman, as I noted earlier, laid the blame for his resignation on the so-called Israeli lobby. There was no end of observers [...]

Well, I also read that Freeman has at times been on the Saudi payroll, but I can’t vouch for it. Also, while not a common thing, Jews are allowed to live in Saudia Arabia under special circumstances. An old friend of mine, who went to the same Hebrew school as I when we were kids, became a world-class petroleum engineer, and he lived in Saudi Arabia for a while designing oil refineries there. Finally, Freeman’s nasty attitude toward Israel, and all the harsh things he’s said, are typical among so called “self-hating” Jews. So I’m inclined to think he’s probably one himself. But again, I don’t know for sure.

I don’t know. If he were Jewish, how was he even allowed to set foot in Saudi Arabia? My understanding is that the Saudis are very careful about letting Jews inside the country. And they have a history of protesting US Ambassadors who speak their language, that is, if they aren’t on their payroll.

But I’ll keep an eye out for any word one way or the other.

See Ron’s 3rd paragraph above, but I also read it elsewhere a couple of days ago.

Ah cheeze, the JUICE did it, stealing our just share of the credit. The chinese tongs weren’t happy with “New Dawn” Freeman, us evil spec ops facists “black helicoptered” him and we demand our fair share of the hate!! Youse JUICE have the same right, for the same reasons, that the NAACP has to oppose a KKK klansman or we baby killers have to oppose Frency Kerry.

It seems to be beyond the comprehension of some people that most Zionists aren’t Jewish, but there we are. Most Jews aren’t Zionists, and most Zionists aren’t Jews.

How do you know he’s Jewish? I’ve Googled and Wiki’d him, and there doesn’t seem to be much information about his family, other than his father was in business.
