David Friedman is furthering the Kosher Nostra extremist Likudnik Israeli agenda: Scholar

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman is an organized crime figure who is furthering the Kosher Nostra extremist Likudnik Israeli agenda, an American political analyst has said.

Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a Ph.D. in Islamic and Arabic Studies, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.

Breaking a long-standing tradition of ambassadors being politically neutral, Friedman said on Sunday that US policy toward Iran could take a turn for the worse from the perspective of Israel if Democratic nominee Joe Biden is elected the US president in November.

“Joe Biden was part of the Obama administration, which negotiated and implemented the Iran deal, something that President [Donald] Trump — and I share his view — thinks was the worst international deal the United States has ever entered into,” Friedman said in an interview with the United Arab Emirates’ al-Ain news site.

“It [the Obama administration] did nothing to restrain their building of ballistic missiles,” Friedman said.

Friedman added, “If we continue on this path, we think Iran will ultimately have no choice but to end its malign activity. … I’d hate to think that a new administration would undermine that, but regrettably, if Biden wins, I think they might.”

Dr. Barrett said that Friedman “is a Kosher Nostra mob lawyer. He represented Trump in Trump's bankruptcies over his Atlantic City casinos.”

“And he's of course a friend and associate of people like Sheldon Adelson and Bibi Netanyahu. So this guy is all-out organized crime. Trump rewarded him and the syndicate by appointing Friedman ambassador to Israel,” he added.  

“So now Friedman, the US ambassador to Israel, is yelling about how if Biden wins, the hardline Trump policy towards Iran will fall apart, and this wonderful effort which is just on the brink of a victory that nobody else sees will somehow be totally thwarted by a Biden victory,” he said.

“This represents the hard-line Likudnik extremist Netanyahu wing of Zionists who put Trump in office by hacking voting machines, bringing in Israeli intelligence (to do so). In the summer of 2016, Israel contacted the Trump campaign and said you are gonna lose unless you bring us on board to win it for you. Trump or his people said come on and help us. And so Israel inserted Trump into office precisely to have Quds/Jerusalem handed to them on a silver platter, and to move the war on Iran into overdrive, and have the nuclear deal, the JCPOA, shredded and thrown in the trash,” the scholar noted.

Israel has right to annex parts of occupied West Bank: US ambassador

The US ambassador to Israel says Tel Aviv has right to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.

“All of this was the Kosher Nostra extremist Likudnik Israeli agenda. That's the reason Trump was put in office. And so they're quite right, that if Trump leaves office and Biden who is controlled by liberal Zionists rather than extremist Likudnik Zionists wins, then that policy will undoubtedly change. What's really outrageous here is that an ethnic organized crime syndicate associated with the most radical wing of a genocide project, namely the genocide of Palestine, is allowed to dominate American politics and American policy the way it does,” he said.

“And of course, what Friedman could have added is that Biden will in no way challenge Israel's supremacy here in the United States, where we are Israeli occupied territory. Rather a Biden administration would simply represent a more liberal and in some ways more humane, such as it is, wing of the genocidal Zionist movement that will continue to murder and expel the Palestinians, to steal more land, to take over the holy places of nearly four and a half billion Christians and Muslims, on behalf of a religion that claims maybe 15 million people worldwide, a tiny proportion of the Abrahamic monotheists, of whom the majority of the so-called Jewish people are not even religious, and yet they have a messianic millenarian ideological genocide project going in the Holy Land,” he said.

“It's outrageous and Friedman is a disgrace. Trump is a disgrace and indeed the entire leadership of the United States here which is owned and controlled by Zionists of one stripe or another is an absolute disgrace,” he concluded.
