To the editor:

Thomas Friedman thinks President Biden should lavish Israel with some tough love and force it to hand Gaza right back to Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the 10/7 Simchat Torah Massacre.

Some pundits have noticed that Friedman has been wrong in his analysis of just about every foreign policy issue throughout his career.

I think it's time for The New York Times to show Tom Friedman some tough love and force him to retire.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein
