New Yorker Editor Reminick throws fit over Trump Pro-Israel AMBO pick
 [Front Page] Our country still faces many problems. And yet there's something undeniably cheering about seeing the left gnash its teeth and shriek hatefully over things like this. "This" being Trump's unique pick of a pro-Israel ambassador to Israel. This being David Remnick, the New Yorker editor who is probably the second most loathsome figure in the media after Jeffrey Goldberg, squirm with frustrated rage."Every morning since November 9th, you wake up and read the news and think, This has got to be an issue of The Onion... But, rather than fog the mind and defeat the spirit with the litany of accumulated outrages, let’s concentrate on the outrage of the day: the appointment of a bankruptcy lawyer named David Friedman as Ambassador to Israel. Friedman writes regularly for Arutz Sheva, a pro-settler Web site that is available in English. After reading these columns, you might reasonably conclude that, if Israel decided it was in its interest to annex the West Bank, Friedman would heartily approve and help raise the flag. Ideologically, Friedman is to the right of Benjamin Netanyahu." Oh no! To the right of Netanyahu? But I thought Netanyahu was already a crazy right-wing extremist. And here Friedman would approve of Israel tossing out Islamic terrorists and reclaiming all of Israel. Don't we know the Ambassador is supposed to be a State Department cretin obsessed with blaming Israel for the lack of an Islamic terror state to be dubbed Palestine regardless of the historical revisionism. We're not supposed to have a pro-Israel ambassador who thinks Jews can live in '67 Israel. It's not supposed to happen. What happened to David Remnick's sane leftist world?
