Goldberg for now believes that Israel has a moral case; Friedman does not. Friedman is clearly anti-Israel.

Goldberg will fight media bias, but he DOES have the unfortunate habit of feeding the biases that he agrees with: Settlements are the root of all evil; Bibi is a hard liner.

That all came together after Bibi’s speech in which he cast his lot with Friedman, and Roger Cohen and the NYTimes editorial page. It’s getting harder to categorize him as pro-Israel with serious faults and easier to describe him as anti-Israel with significant virtues.

What I don’t get is how someone as serious as Goldberg doesn’t ask himself “Would the conflict be over if Tzippi Livni had formed the government in 2009 instead of Bibi?” I think that 2000 answered that question (negatively.) But once you have that answer bashing Bibi and settlements is gratuitous.
