Read all the way to the end.

My question is how can he be a "friend of Israel" according to Rosenberg and at the same time hold to those tenets at the end of the article such as being so friendly with Iran?

It's one of the innate abilities of the liberal: to hold two equally opposing viewpoints in the head at the same time. They can do this because, without brains, they have a lot more room up there than normal, conservative folks, who because they do have brains, have to think through issues and logically follow the evidence to a single conclusion in order to conserve space for other information. That's why they call us conservatives.

Biden hasn't sent a secretary of state to divide Jerusalem. That makes him slightly more loving than Bush already. And Bush is touted as the most pro-Israel president ever. Granted that Biden isn't running for president and that Biden comes no where near the pro-Israel stance of Huckabee or Brown, in a logical disjunct, it is valid to accept both sides of the disjunct: friend of Israel or friend of terrorist states. Biden is a friend of Israel and a friend of terrorist states. We who believe that the disjunct should be exclusive, one or the other, are a minority. Rosenberg tells the truth when he says Biden is a friend of Israel (in the inclusive sense), and keeps his friend and perhaps the communication with the White House open. Rosenberg says, "friend of Israel," in the generic, political sense, which means Biden is not for another holocaust--the political sense doesn't require any particular love or action. Biden calls himself a "Catholic Zionist." Historically, that's been an oxymoron. Once again, liberals can hold two opposing thoughts in their heads at the same time.
