People acting like Goldbergt is some kind of hero posting the "war plans" of Trump regime to media, forgetting that he was, is and always be an apologist for IDF crimes and didn't think IDF is commiting war crime and the reports about their crimes are antisemitic.

"Goldberg was an ardent apologist for the Israeli Defense Forces and attacking accounts of Israeli atrocities in Gaza. He suggested such accounts were overblown or that Hamas was responsible because it was using civilians as human shields or that anti-Semitic Westerners were exaggerating the situation. In one post, he linked to this “very funny” satirical interview about an “NGO that uses an ostensible human-rights agenda as camouflage for an anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic program.”

And he wrote, “I don’t think Israel is committing war crimes. Israel is fighting an enemy that intentionally seeks to kill civilians; in the course of fighting Hamas, Israel does some stupid and brutal things, but, by Andrew’s standard, every act of self-defense by a Western nation against Islamist insurgents is a war crime.”

Even now Goldberg is busy apologizing for Israeli actions. The Haaretz revelations show Israeli soldiers behaving “like Cossacks,” but his item makes sure to note that the “world media, generally speaking, doesn’t like Israel very much, and stacks the deck against it,” while the “goal of Hamas is to murder innocent people; the goal of the IDF is to avoid murdering innocent people.”

Even after Haaretz reported CLEAR proof of Israeli war crime and their INTENTION to commit war crime, he responded with

"Based on the Haaretz stories, the IDF didn’t work too hard to avoid killing civilians."

#Trump’s instructions to his team late this week remained to attack #JeffreyGoldberg & #TheAtlantic, & not “produce a scalp” by firing any members of his Cabinet, in the words of one outside adviser consulted by the White House who described the discussions to us.

The Atlantic · Trump Resists Giving Up a 'Scalp' in SignalgateBy Isaac Stanley-Becker
Continued thread

But then came #Hegseth’s initial response to the disclosures. He attacked #JeffreyGoldberg, #TheAtlantic editor, as a “so-called journalist,” & sought refuge in a semantic argument, saying that he had never disclosed “war plans.”

So on Wed, The Atlantic published the actual text of what he had written.

Hegseth texted at 11:44AM the day of the attack: “1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”

30 minutes before it happened.
