Mr. Friedman, now that the Israeli military is again committing outrageous war crimes in Gaza, including the deliberate targeting and destruction of civilian neighborhoods, and have already murdered at least 15 Palestinians, among them a pregnant women with twins, three infants, and an eleven-month-old baby boy, when can they expect to finally get a Burger King in Khan Younis?

Mr Friedman, now that I get all my up-to-date, in-depth, incisive analysis on Mitt Romney’s golden touch with working-class immigrant minorities from National Review editor-at-large Kathryn Jean Lopez’s Nigerian cab driver, tell me again why the hell I should keep reading your stuff?

Mr. Friedman, after urging the rest of the world to become like America, you decided that there were too many people “in American-sized homes, driving American-sized cars, eating American-sized Big Macs”—and that “the good lord didn’t design our little planet for this many Americans.” In an effort to ensure a more efficient use of space, could my family and I move into the closet in the hallway that leads from the third dining room to the African safari room in your house?

Mr. Friedman, I’ve been frustrated lately that some columnists have resorted to treating Arabs as anything other than bit-players in the great saga of triumphalist Western culture and the necessity and nobility of Zionism. To tell you the truth, I’m anxious because I feel like I’m seeing my “neighborhood imploding.” I have just one simple question for you: “What Does Morsi Mean for Israel?”

Mr. Friedman, back in February you wrote that “Egypt today has only two predators: poverty and illiteracy.” Now that the scary-sounding Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi has beaten Twitter to become Egypt’s next president in a democratic election, can we introduce a third?

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:52:00 -0400

Mr. Friedman, I often revisit your words of praise for the Bush administration’s “willingness to restore our deterrence.” You wrote:

No, the axis-of-evil idea isn’t thought through — but that’s what I like about it. It says to these countries and their terrorist pals: “We know what you’re cooking in your bathtubs. We don’t know exactly what we’re going to do about it, but if you think we are going to just sit back and take another dose from you, you’re wrong. Meet Don Rumsfeld — he’s even crazier than you are.”

But now, I wonder: would deterrence have worked better if it’d been more like you?

Mr. Friedman, when you said Bibi’s standing ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby, they called you a self-hating Jew. Sometimes they call me a self-hating Jew. How does one know when one is a self-loving Jew? How can one distinguish a self-loving Jew from someone who is just a wanker?
