When Israeli Newspapers Hate Israel
First it was Commentary accusing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of being anti-Israel, now they’ve moved on to Israel’s leading newspaper, Haaertz. Their sin is that they ran an Op-Ed by Tom Segev, who commemorated the 60th anniversary of the UN vote to partition British Palestine and create Israel by pointing out that Israel tarnishes its moral standing by a continued occupation. This opinion, if I may note, is rather uncontroversial among diaspora Jews and Israeils. Haaertz also committed the grave sin of criticizing a right wing Israeli think tank. In Commentary world, this makes Haaertz likes the New York Times, but worse.
