Amadziwika kuti amalimbikitsa kuchulukira kwamasiku ano potengera luso laukadaulo, misika, kukwera mtengo kwachuma, zikhalidwe zololera, komanso chowonadi chozikidwa ndi sayansi ndi kulingalira komwe kungathe kupereka malonjezo a moyo wabwino kwa aliyense. Liwu la Friedman nthawi zonse limakhala lodzikuza komanso lonyozeka. Sachita manyazi kupatsa olemera ndi amphamvu phindu la nzeru zake zaukadaulo. Zikafika pazandale zakunja makamaka ku Middle East, makamaka komwe Israeli akukhudzidwa, Friedman akufuna kuyika chopondapo cha guru kuti adziyimire pampandowo, komabe samachoka pamzere wachipani womwe umatsimikizira Israeli mopanda malire. osawona madandaulo aku Palestine komanso odana ndi kukana kwa Palestine ndi ntchito za mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, Friedman ndi wa Zionism wowolowa manja, zomwe Sheldon Adelson anali wotsutsa Zionism monga momwe adawonetsera utsogoleri wa Netanyahu, koma maganizo ake amavomerezedwa ndi zipani za ndale za mapiko a kumanja ku Israeli zomwe zimalamulira zochitikazo zikafika pozunza anthu. Anthu aku Palestina.

Komabe ngakhale potengera miyezo yotsika yomwe Friedman adadziyikira zaka zambiri, malingaliro ake aposachedwa kwambiri a NY Times anali owopsa monga momwe ndemanga yodziwitsira ku Middle East ingakhalire, makamaka ikawerengedwa mosamala, komanso ndi diso lovuta. Idasindikizidwa ngati ndemanga pa Marichi 2^nd ndi mutu umene uli wopunduka mopusa monga mmene lemba lotsatirali lilili loipa: “Kulumpha Yehosafati: Kodi Waona Kuti Aisrayeli Angati Angopita Kukachezera U.A.E. Monga ngati maulendo ogula a Israeli ku Dubai kapena Abu Dubai ndi zizindikiro za ndale zosonyeza kuti derali layamba kunyalanyaza nkhondo ya Palestine yofuna ufulu wofunikira, ndikupitiriza ntchito yofunika kwambiri yotumikira ogula ndi alendo. Ngati spike ku U.A.E. kugula ndi chizindikiro chimodzi, lingaliro la ICC la February 5^th kuti apitilize kufufuza zonena zodziwika bwino za umbanda wa Israeli ku Occupied Palestine m'njira ina. Zikuwoneka kuti zikuwulula kuti chitukuko chomalizachi sichiyenera kuvomereza ngakhale kugwedezeka kwa malingaliro opotoka a Friedman omwe amamvera zizindikiro za msika kuposa madandaulo a malamulo apadziko lonse, makamaka ngati aperekedwa ndi adani a U.S.

Ndizovuta kuthana ndi zopotoka zingapo za ndondomeko zomwe zakhala zikuchitika panthawi ya utolankhani wa mawu osakwana 1,000, koma ndingotchula okhawo omwe amawoneka onyansa kwambiri malinga ndi malamulo, makhalidwe abwino, ndi kuwonekera. Chidutswacho chitha kuwerengedwa ngati cholimbikitsa kukweza kwa mapangano okhazikika omwe adakwaniritsidwa masabata omaliza a utsogoleri wa Trump, kupambana kwa maboma aku Washington. Sizinangopatsa Israeli chigonjetso chachikulu pazandale koma zidathandizira kuwonetsa anthu akumudzi kuti machitidwe a Trump adapambana pomwe omwe adamutsogolera adalephera. Ngakhale amatsutsa kwambiri Trump mogwirizana ndi ufulu wake, Friedman ali ndi izi ponena za mapangano okhazikika, omwe amawadalitsanso potengera dzina lodzilemekeza la Abraham Accords loperekedwa ndi omutsatira: "Ndidakhulupirira kuyambira pachiyambi kuti. Kutsegula pakati pa Israel, Bahrain, Morocco ndi Sudan—opangidwa ndi Jared Kushner ndi Donald Trump kungakhale kosintha.” Palibe liwu lililonse lokhudza mgwirizano wa zida ndi zolipira zamakazembe zomwe zidapangidwa kuti zipotoze manja a maboma achiarabu, komanso ngakhale lingaliro loti njira yokhazikika iyi inali chiwongolero cha Trumpist chotengera kulowerera kwa Israeli monyanyira, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zikuyenda ngati ma Palestine. ziyenera kuwonedwa kapena kumveka pang'ono momwe kungathekere, ndipo sizivomerezedwa konse.

Friedman akupitiriza kunena kuti posachedwapa kudziŵa ngati mbiri yabwino imeneyi idzapita patsogolo, akumakumbukira kukhumudwa kwake kuti unansi wooneka ngati wopatsa chiyembekezo wa Israyeli ndi Akristu a ku Lebanon kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m’ma 1980 unasanduka ‘ukwati ndi chisudzulo’ chowomberedwa mwa mfuti. Izi zinatanthawuza kuti lonjezo limeneli lachiyanjano cha Aarabu ndi Israeli silinali kanthu kena koma nyumba yokhumudwitsa ya makadi yomwe inalephera kutulutsa zotsatira zokhalitsa za kupeza ubale wamtendere ndi mayiko a Aarabu popanda vuto la kuchitira chinachake Apalestina. Apanso, ndikukhala chete komwe kuli kowulula kwambiri kulira kwa Friedman. Palibe mawu m'gawolo kuti nthawi yayikulu yolumikizana pakati pa Israeli ndi Akhristu aku Lebanon idabwera pankhondo ya Lebanon ya 1982, ikufika pachimake pomwe IDF ya Israeli idagwirizana ndi magulu ankhondo a Maronite kuyang'anira kupha anthu wamba m'misasa ya othawa kwawo ku Palestina. Sabra ndi Shatila. Kudandaula za kusokonekera kwaukwati woyipawu, osazindikira chimodzi mwazankhanza kwambiri zazaka makumi angapo zapitazi m'derali, ndi chitsanzo cha chikhalidwe chachinyengo cha Friedman komanso kutengera mwayi kwadziko. Friedman sakuyimira pamenepo. Amawonjezeranso chipongwe chopanda pake chomwe chimaperekedwa kwa Hezbollah kuphatikiza ndi mawu achipongwe opita ku Iran chifukwa imathandizira Hezbollah, motero ili ndi mwayi wotsutsa Israeli/Saudi/U.S. malingaliro.

Zoyipa ngati izi zikulowa muzochitika zomvetsa chisoni za ndale za ku Lebanon, zoyipa zikubwera. Friedman amawona phindu lenileni la ndondomeko ya Trump normalization yomwe ili m'tsogolomu. Iye akuganiza kuti mgwirizano wofanana ndi Saudi Arabia udzakhala mwala wamtengo wapatali wa ndondomekoyi, ponena kuti ".. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, Friedman amazindikira monyinyirika kuti kuphedwa kwa Kamal Khashoggi kumawonedwa ndi ena ngati cholepheretsa kukwaniritsa cholinga chomwe chalengezedwa. Umu ndi momwe Friedman amapangira chochitikacho: "Lipoti la CIA loti akhale ndi woyimira demokalase ku Saudi a Jamal Khashoggi, yemwe amakhala ku US kwanthawi yayitali, kuphedwa ndikudulidwa mitembo adakhumudwa kwambiri - kuyankha kosamvetsetseka kwa wotsutsa wamtendere yemwe alibe chiwopsezo ufumu.”

Chilankhulo, monga nthawi zonse ndi Friedman chikuwulula m'njira zomwe ziyenera kupangitsa mtolankhaniyu wa pambuyo paukoloni kuti asokonezeke. Chifukwa chiyani liwu loti 'demented,' kutanthauza kuchita modabwitsa popanda zifukwa zomveka, pomwe mchitidwe womwe ukufunsidwawo unali kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika mphamvu mopambanitsa, kulimbikitsidwa ndi kugwiritsiridwa ntchito molakwa kwa malo akazembe kuchita mchitidwe wowopsa wa boma—Kazembe wa Saudi ku Istanbul. Kupitilira apo, kupha Khashoggi "kunali kosamvetsetseka" chifukwa sikunakwaniritse cholinga chaboma chifukwa kunalibe "chiwopsezo ku ufumuwo." Wosuliza komanso wachinyengo pachimake: Hezbollah imanyozedwa popanda chifukwa, pomwe kutsutsidwa koyenera kwa MBS sikunapitirire. Zomwe Friedman adanena zosadziwika bwino ndi zomwe akuwonetsa kuti ndi kupha kopanda pake kwa Khashoggi wotsutsa wopanda vuto wa Mohamed bin Salmon's Saudi imperium. Pozindikira zomwe zachitikazo, Friedman amapangitsa kuti zoyambira zake zikhale zomveka popereka kuwala kobiriwira kubizinesi yoyipa ya geopolitics. Friedman nthawi zonse amakhala wokonzeka kupereka upangiri osafunsidwa, osapumira mpweya wabwino, awona kuti pamene "[t] gulu la Biden likukonzabe momwe zidzakhudzire ndi MBS" zili bwino "kuumirira kuti America ipitilize gwirizanani ndi Saudi Arabia ngati wothandizana nawo. ”

Popanda chiwonetsero chaching'ono choletsa makhalidwe, Friedman amadula kuthamangitsa, kutsimikizira ubale wapatatu pakati pa Saudi Arabia, Israel, ndi United States ngati mgwirizano wolimbikitsa m'derali. Chikondwerero chake chikufotokozedwa motere: "Ngati Mgwirizano wa Abraham ukuyenda bwino ndikufalikira ndikuphatikiza kukhazikika pakati pa Israeli ndi Saudi Arabia, tikulankhula za kusintha kofunikira kwambiri m'mbiri yamakono ya Middle East, yomwe kwazaka zambiri idapangidwa ndi Kulowererapo kwa Mphamvu Yaikulu ndi mphamvu za Arab-Israel. Osatinso pano." Apanso, kukonzanso uku kukuyembekezeka kukhala chitukuko cholimbikitsa popanda zisonyezo za ziyeneretso mwina potengera kuopsa kotengera derali kunkhondo yankhondo ndi Iran kapena kuchita ngati kuti zovuta za tsiku ndi tsiku zaku Palestine sizinali zoyenera kuthana nazo. kuwunika vuto la diplomatic loterolo.

Friedman akupitilizabe kunena momveka bwino kuti m'malo osinthika otere, Israeli atha kukhala okonzeka kuthana ndi mayiko awiri popanda kuyimitsa ngakhale pang'ono kunena kuti ngakhale atapanikizidwa, Israeli sanafune kukhala ndi dziko lokhazikika la Palestine. ndipo tsopano ndi kusokonekera koyenera kwa ndale zake zamkati ndi chitsimikizo chake chakupitilizabe kuthandizidwa mopanda malire ku Washington, sikuyeneranso kunamizira. Kuchulukirachulukira kwa malo okhala mu Israeli motsutsana ndi UN, malonjezo ochedwetsedwa a kukhazikitsidwa kwa West Bank, komanso kutsimikiza kwa Israeli kuti avomereze zonena zake zolamulira Yerusalemu monga likulu la Israeli lokha, kumapangitsa kuti chiukitsiro chilichonse chichitike. zokambirana za mayiko awiri ndi nthabwala yoyipa kwambiri kuposa momwe Oslo adauza dziko lapansi pomwe zokhumba za Palestine zakhutitsidwa ndi magazi komanso anthu aku Palestina akukumana ndi chiyembekezo chosatha cha kuzunzika muulamuliro watsankho wa Israeli.

Mfundo yoti utsogoleri wa Biden sanataye nthawi kuukitsa mtembo wa mayiko awiri ndi chisonyezero chowonekera bwino cha kugwa kwa makhalidwe abwino ndi ndale za ndondomeko za US ponena za nkhondo ya Palestina kuti apeze ufulu wofunikira patatha zaka zambiri akukana. Mosiyana ndi zaka za Trump, Friedman atha kusangalala powona kuti sakuyendanso ndi omwe amayang'anira kupanga mfundo ku White House zikafika ku Middle East. Ndipo tsopano pambuyo pa Trump ndili wotsimikiza kuti Friedman sangalimbikitse a Biden/Blinken kuti abweze mphatso zilizonse zosaloledwa zomwe zidaperekedwa kwa Israeli pazaka zinayi za Trump/Kushner, kuphatikiza Syrian Golan Height, kusamvera kwa UN kwa America. Embassy ku Yerusalemu, 'kuvomerezeka' kwa midzi komanso kulumikizidwa kwa gawo lalikulu ku Palestine yomwe idalandidwa.
