From a Western correspondent on Robert Fisk
"i had to start reading it. look at how he writes in such a racist and simplistic way, "the Arabs," as in "the Arabs at least will suspect the truth" and who are "the great and the good"? he's like a grumpy bitter...: "the dear old United Nations" so they sign this nuclear deal and "Goodbye, therefore, to the overwhelming influence of the Sunni Muslim nations" what kind of editor lets him use terms like "raving loonies"? and what the hell does this mean: "I guess poor old Edward Stettinius had to spend nigh on two months at the San Fransisco Conference to create the UN Charter. Yalta lasted only eight days, Potsdam 17 days. No wonder Netanyahu is furious." its like fisk doesnt even know what he's complaining about, he just sees that some people are happy and some people are angry and he wants to shit on both of them out of instinct "Isis – will be almost as appalled as Netanyahu at Iran’s new deal" i doubt ISIS gives a shit for a second it feels like he sympathizes with netanyahu even, if i can even understand this sentence: "But all will remember – and Bibi will remember – that Obama is in the habit of walking away from car wrecks without even calling the insurers." and then this: "And the one word that I bet went unspoken at Vienna these past two and a half weeks? ‘Palestine’." yes, it was a negotiation over the nuclear deal, palestine is not relevant, you cant just mention the word palestine after a crazy rant like some...angry thomas friedman and think you get points as a leftist for it".
