“Haaretz will compensate with NIS 50,000 due to an article by Rogel Alpher”
Oren Persico 27.03.2017
The Haaretz newspaper will compensate NIS 50,000 for a building contractor mentioned in a publicist article by Rogel Alpher, as was recently decided in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Magistrate’s Court.
The contractor, Yosef Paz, was responsible for renovating a building on Rothschild Street in Tel Aviv, and during the renovation he placed scaffolding around the building. A poster was published on these scaffolding by the ‘Im-Tirtzu’ (’If You Will’) movement, entitled “The People Against the Demons.” Following the presentation of the poster, Rogel Alpher wrote an article that was published in the opinion section of Haaretz under the heading “Remove ‘Im-Tirtzu’ (’If You Will’) from Tel Aviv.”

Ministry of Justice spokesman on Haaretz: “Self-hatred on the verge of anti-Semitism”
Ministry of Justice spokesman Moshe Cohen launched an attack on Haaretz: “Sometimes it seems to you that you are reading a newspaper from the territories.” ... Cohen: “Standing behind every word.”
Maya Mena, Nov 22, 2015
Ministry of Justice spokesman Moshe Cohen launched an attack against the Haaretz newspaper: “Sometimes it seems to you that you are reading a newspaper from the territories...
Ministry of Justice spokesman Moshe Cohen attacks the “Haaretz” newspaper, claiming that the newspaper presents anti-Israel positions “on the brink of anti-Semitism”, as he put it.
Cohen uploaded on his Facebook page photographs of articles published this weekend in the newspaper “Haaretz”, including the articles by Zuhair Andreas under the title “The Shin Bet that has a state”, Avraham Burg with the title “. immigration to power” and Yossi Sarid who received the title “Meanwhile in the right : They are all Kahanists.”
Cohen added a photo of Hanin Zoavi’s photo as it appeared in the newspaper, with the caption given by the editors: “reminiscent of things written by Primo Levy.” The photographed cluster was closed by Cohen with a brief reference: “The opinion columns of ‘Haaretz’ last weekend.” how do you say? we did not touch...”.
The status of Cohen, whose position is that of a senior civil servant, sparked a debate between supporters and opponents of the positions represented by “Haaretz”. At one point, Cohen himself responded, stating: “The articles were full, the issue is the manipulations in the editing: what titles are given, where each article is placed, what is chosen to stand out from the text, etc. Here we clearly see the pointing hand, full of venom and self-hatred, on the verge of anti-Semitism Sometimes it seems to you that you are reading a newspaper from the territories, translated into Hebrew. As if there is no one to complain about the people of Israel.”
Later, there was someone who suggested that Cohen go read the Israel Hayom newspaper. Cohen wrote in response: “The obsessive self-flagellation, full of insinuations and statements that imply the delegitimization of Zionism. Somehow it turns out that the Jew is always the villain, always guilty, will always be presented as a cruel villain. I am not far from you in understanding reality and my political views are with you. I only express them by voting, But I still see here an emotional and ideological identification with our worst enemies, and admit the guilt - it really bothers me, what can I do. Do you really think that the situation here is similar to Germany in the 1930s? Hanin Zoevi is Primo Levi? Well, really.”
Even this morning, the discussion on Cohen’s Facebook page continues around “Haaretz”. Cohen photographed Rogel Alpher’s article in which he called on French Jews to stay in France, and concluded: “This morning’s newspaper, the last word in the interesting discussion we had here.”

... Before our eyes is a classic example of two-facedness and piety. A senior correspondent for the Haaretz newspaper, Barak Ravid, humiliates, in a live broadcast, another journalist because he did not rush to criticize, immediately, the policy of the elected prime minister; On the other hand, a major commentary column by a prominent reporter for the Haaretz newspaper criticizes American Jews for demonstratively criticizing the policies of an elected president.

Does ‘Haaretz’ have a problem with people of color?
May 5, 2015
Then when Arab television presenter Lucy Aharish was chosen to light a torch for Israel’s independence day, she was blasted in the newspaper and accused of not “dressing like an Arab.” What does it mean to “dress like an Arab”? Palestinian Arabs dress in a diverse manner, some women wear their hair out, some wear hijab, some wear jeans, others don’t. Pictures from the 1920s show Arab women in British Mandate Palestine in diverse types of dress. Maybe to “dress like an Arab” means the same thing as to “dress like a European.”
Long-time Haaretz writer Amos Elon was a frequent offender when it came to stereotyping Jews from Arab countries.
Back in 1953 he had gone to Morocco and wondered what effect Moroccan Jews’ “uncontrolled fertility would have on the Jewish people’s genetic robustness.” In a 2004 interview with Ari Sharvit at Haaretz he was still talking about the “political primitiveness” of Jews who immigrated to Israel from Muslim countries.
The Ethiopian protests have brought out the word in stereotypes. Among them was the cartoon published on May 5, 2015...

Haaretz claims that “the occupation is the home of terrorism.” And what about reality?
In what universe should one live to claim that Arab terrorism is the result of the Six Day War? Still, this is what a certified academic claims over the pages of the Haaretz newspaper
Hanan Amior, April 6, 2015
... In 1834, when the first lovers of Zion [Chovevei Zion] were just beginning to be born, the Arabs of the Galilee went on a pogrom against the Jews of Safed, in which they raped, looted, burned, destroyed and murdered the Jews of Safed and their property for 33 days. All community property is looted.
According to the book “The Line of Plowing and Fire” [http://opus.co.il/product_info.php?products_id=1086], which reviews the history of 150 years of conflict (and according to other historians), Arab hostilities against the Jews of the country began only later, in 1860, following the construction of the first Jewish neighborhood outside the Old City walls, Mishkenot Sha’ananim.
According to the historian Hillel Cohen [http://simania.co.il/bookdetails.php?item_id=969110] - who ignores the riots of 1921 [http://lib.cet.ac.il/pages/item.asp?item=2039] (1921, 46 years before the “occupation”), which began in Jaffa and spread to other settlements in which dozens of Jews were murdered - the root of the conflict and terrorism appeared later, in 1929, 38 years before the “occupation” ), Then, I recalled, the Arabs murdered and wounded hundreds of Jews, mainly in Hebron and Safed, in brutal and horrific acts of terrorism reminiscent of what is happening these days around our borders.
The year 1936 (31 years before the “occupation”) can also be defined as the year in which organized Palestinian terror against the Jews of the country was born, as part of the great Arab uprising that erupted in the form of indiscriminate Arab terror following the rise of Eastern European Jews to Germany.
The principle is understandable and one can skip a bit, straight to the establishment of the PLO terrorist organization in January 1964, which aimed at the armed resistance to Israel through terrorism against civilians, three and a half years before the “occupation.”
To claim that “the occupation is the creator of terrorism and not the other way around” indicates either ignorance or a severe lack of intellectual integrity.

Who do you call Nazis?
Alon Dahan, March 21, 2015
It’s scary how much the Nazi David Duke loves certain Jews. Everyone (!) Belongs to the left. None of the “handful” to which I belong and from whom Garbuz and his friends are so reluctant. On the use of comparisons to the Nazis and on the bitter truth of the disqualified
Source: Maraah Magazine website (20/03/2015)
From time to time I get up drenched in sweat and terror, all anxious about my cruel bitter fate. I have heard that intellectuals and in general people who think they are “thinkers,” [HA’ARETZ] tend to compare me and my friends to the Nazis, according to at least one newspaper in the country, which is incidentally partly owned, by a Nazi family in the past [http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340, L-3292130,00.html]. In July 2008, Zehava Gal-On warned that: “I remind you that democracy in Germany has collapsed because it has allowed its enemies on the far right to exploit it, to exploit the democratic mechanisms, and it has undermined its basic powers.” It happened just shortly after I heard her and her friends, calling Likud members an “extreme right.”
It was a hard blow to my soft underbelly, because I came to understand that if the Likud is “extreme right”, then what will people like me say they are right from the Likud, but do not feel so much the burden of the nickname “extreme”, certainly not the gray fate of the Weimar Republic laying on their shoulders. Now I understand that I am in fact the “right” that was there. I realized that in the eyes of the left, or parts of it, to think differently from them is no less comparable to a Nazi, or similar to a Nazi, or really a “Nazi.”
Interestingly, the National Socialist Party was a combination of right-wing nationalism and left-wing socialism. But it was much more socialist than nationalist, since the vast majority of its seniors were left-wing Marxists, and in its being she remained forceful like Stalin, centralized like Lenin and Marx, militaristic like Trotsky and anti-Semitic like Hitler. In Israel, for political reasons and unlike anywhere else, only the right wing remained and the left-wing infrastructure disappeared from the definition of “National Socialism”. Due to the Nazi aspiration for world domination, or at least for the establishment of the European Union [https://m.news1.co.il/TagDetails.aspx?TagID=8169], she was ahead of her time even further to the left ...
Blaming “Nazism” for the normative activity of right-wing elements is not uncommon. A lecturer at the Hebrew University named Amiram Goldblum compared... In recent days I have heard from another “man of spirit”, Joshua Sobol, that if I am not willing to apologize for my positions, not to support and transfer more assets to a Palestinian Authority that is blindly admired by Hitler and everything he represents, I act like the Nazi Party. Interestingly, leftist logic requires that in order not to be considered Nazis, we are committed to supporting the Palestinian Authority, where hundreds of children proudly bear the second name “Hitler” (”Al-Hayat al-Jadida”, 13.4.2000), in which Hitler’s “Maine Kampf” is A bestseller (”Al-Hayat Al-Jadida”, September 2, 1999), in which opinion articles praise Hitler and Nazism, saying with sorrow that: “If Hitler had won the war, Nazism would have been a sign of honor” (”Al-Hayat Al-Jadida”) 18.3.13), an authority headed by a Holocaust denier, based in his book on clear pro-Nazi sources, and considers the Holocaust a lie and a collaborative Zionism of Hitler and a Nazi conspiracy, and in addition, an authority in which a spontaneous salute to guests from Germany is reasonable. The leftist logic of sticking a nickname “Nazi” to anyone who opposes fans of this declared Arab Nazism.
Unfortunately, to date there has not been a single official Arab representative, in Israel or in the PA, who condemns, opposes or thinks in any critical way about Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Palestinian leader, who has declared that Islam and Nazism have the same treatment of Jews [https://www .youtube.com/watch?v=dbP2EyF8d34], conceptual and practical. In his memoirs, Husseini wrote: “Our fundamental condition for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world. I asked Hitler for an explicit undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of its Jews. The answer I received was: “The Jews are yours.”
As is well known, Abu Mazen is considered “moderate.” He will certainly not be called a “Nazi” by the Israeli left, as Gal-On and Sobol tend to attribute to “truly extremist” people, like me for example. So I thought to myself, here is a revered Mufti here, an ally of Hitler [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbP2EyF8d34], and on the other hand a “moderate” leader as a balancer, so let’s see what the “moderate” thinks On the declared Nazi. I searched and found that Abu Mazen tends to praise [http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/249578] Haj Amin al-Husseini [http://www.e-mago.co.il/Editor/history-3465.htm] at every possible opportunity, and never objected to any element in the disturbed personality of the aforementioned declared Nazi. Here I was already completely confused.
I have seen that there are many on the left who are waging a battle against people close to me in their views, being a scale representation of a camp that is considered by them to be “Nazi”.
Who did Hitler identify with?
There are many accusations from the left, as if everyone who supports his country and his people is a Nazi. For example, Lizzie Sagi from B’Tselem firmly stated ... and hop! (slang)... we are all (LOL) “Nazis.” The message on the signs was very patriotic, for the people and the country ... and the fact that it appeared there in Germany, by the Nazis, turned in the eyes of the left all the sane Jews in this country, those who still know how to distinguish between good (Israel ...) and evil (Hamas, fire “F ...), to a kind of Nazis.
If we take such analogies, we will come to interesting conclusions. In an in-depth examination conducted by scholars in the past, Hitler delivered more peace speeches than any other European leader in the history of New Europe. It appears in none other than Uri Avnery who previously wrote a book called The Swastika, and there he wrote the things. The picture that emerges from his monumental book is similar, and others have noticed it as well. Hitler, by the way, spoke sympathetically of the “European Union,” which he particularly hated ultra-Orthodox Judaism, and it appears in “Mein Kampf” clearly and directly: “Is this a Jew?” He asked (Adolf Hitler, M.K., Hebrew Version, p. 289).
This position of Hitler is very similar to the position of prominent people on the Israeli left, for example: “One can generalize a statement about the ideological settlers who are far worse than any neo-Nazi in Austria” (article in the journal “Kedma Sha’ar HaMizrach”, January 2003). ...
The most attacked victim was the ultra-Orthodox public who was perceived as outside the consensus. Therefore, the legitimacy given to the extreme left for the slander of this public goes beyond the bounds of the law, and all under the auspices of freedom of expression [https://m.news1.co.il/TagDetails.aspx?TagID=3498] of course. More or less at the same time, the former Minister of Education, Shulamit Aloni, declared that: “The ultra-Orthodox suck from them ...” (Shulamit Aloni, “Davar”, 24.12.84). : “When I see the ultra-Orthodox ...” (sculptor Igael Tumarkin, Tel Aviv newspaper, 1988).
But Hitler did not only hate the ultra-Orthodox and the religious, like Aloni, Tumarkin and the like. Hitler also hated Zionism, and thought that a Jewish nation-state, unlike the state of all its citizens or federations and the like, was a disaster for the world. He claims: “... while Zionism pretends to the world, as if its national aspirations will find satisfaction in the creation of a Jewish state, the Jews are once again deceiving the [sic] foolish Gentiles in a most cunning way ... it will be a land of refuge for crooks [sic) whose guilt has already been proven Apprentices ... “(Mein Kampf. Heb, p. 96).
So what do we have here: Hitler - an extremist secularist, anti-Zionist, hater of the ultra-Orthodox, a speaker of peace speeches, a supporter of the Palestinians, and ... a vegetarian who supports animal rights, not us (at least some of the time). It probably does not sound like a “handful” of Garbuz’s.., so why do leftists accuse me and those who prostrate themselves on the graves of the righteous .. in a kind of Nazism, or resemblance to Nazism or all that?
In the late 1970s, diaries of Dr. Joseph Mengele were found in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It turns out that the doctor, who was known as “Dr. Death” [http://www.scotsman.com/news/world/mengele-s-diaries-reveal-angel-of-death-unrepentant-to-the-end-1-562887], continued to support Nazism as a worldview, and this worldview called on the world to support a “just solution” to the Palestinian problem and to restrain Israel in its actions. He went on to call for practical European involvement in the conflict, a bit like Gideon Levy after the election. Seems like some left-wingers, but it is, that they can not be “similar” to the Nazis. It’s just us, the “handful” of Garbuz, Sobol and Amos Oz. At least that’s what they passionately claim. By this point I was almost saying desperate. How do I know who’s closer to the Nazis - “the dark handful”, and I, disgusted, with him, or maybe someone else?
Right and left: Who do the Nazis identify with today?
In light of all these accusations, it was a little strange to hear Gunter Grass, the acclaimed writer and retiree of the Waffen S. S., who talks about Israel endangering world peace, hopes that Bougie and Tzipi will defeat Netanyahu. Well, but Grass is a retired Nazi. Although he is currently anti-Semitic, longing for the end of Israel, as it is a threat to world peace, etc., and supports Bougie and Tzipi from this point of view, he is still a retired Nazi, so why get caught up in pettiness. In general, many leftists identify anti-Semitism with a kind of “supreme morality”, without being Nazis.
Out of confusion and embarrassment, I decided to direct my question to a well-known Nazi, perhaps the most famous and important Nazi in the US today, the Great Wizard, head of the White Brotherhood and former head of the Ku Klux Klan, Holocaust denier and former and present Nazi, Dr. David Duke. I wanted him to tell me about Jewish “dissidents,” and who the heroes of sane Judaism are in his eyes, so I would know. After all, if a Nazi who understands Nazism praises a Jew, surely there is a problem with this Jew.
You will be amazed. Duke writes a lot for the Palestinians, for world “peace” and arrangements in the Middle East. In addition, he praises many Jews. Scary how much this Nazi loves certain Jews. Everyone (!) Belongs to the left. None of the “handful” to which I belong and from whom Garbuz and his friends are so reluctant. In his articles, he admires Ilan Pappe [https://www.news1.co.il/TagDetails.aspx?TagID=3571], from the University of Haifa. He admires Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky, both lovers of Sobol’s camp in Israel. He really goes out of his way to praise Uri Avnery, but there is no wonder about it. Avnery Hari is known for using the motifs of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and “Main Kampf”, and publishing them, no less, on distinctly antisemitic sites, alongside articles by White Brotherhood spokesmen.
An example of this can be seen in an article published by Avnery, ... a well-known antisemitic motif drawn from the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and the “International Jew” of the Nazi car prince, Ford. Would it be surprising to the reader that the foundation set up by Ford [http://www.news1.co.il/Archive/003-D-63199-00.html], which was a clear Nazi and Hitler’s mentor in a series of ideals, only funds left-wing activities in our country?
But he is not the only one. On the well-known anti-Semitic website, “Counterpunch”, I found articles by Shulamit Aloni, along with articles by the great anti-Semites in the United States, including people such as the Nazi David Duke. In an article on the same distinctly anti-Semitic website, Aloni accuses Israel of apartheid policies. Interestingly, it has no criticism of the Palestinian Authority at all. Apparently she agrees with the official policy of expelling Jews, including Holocaust survivors [http://www.inn.co.il/Besheva/Article.aspx/4724], from their homes only because they are Jews, and a conscious creation of “Juden Rein”. She lives in peace with the fact that the Palestinian Authority imposes the death penalty [http://news.nana10.co.il/Article/?ArticleID=746868] on the sale of real estate to Jews, or educators for the extermination of Jews [http: //www.ynet. com.il/articles/0,7340,L-3037042,00.html] In short, an authority that upgrades the Nuremberg Laws is fine in its eyes, but Israel in its opinion is an “apartheid regime.” This is despite the fact that Arabs choose and are elected in Israel, and buy real estate. “ Wherever they want, and so on, while the Palestinian Authority - which creates a purified space from Jews, by Israel and the Arabs, and executes by law (!) Arabs who sold property to Jews - is not considered an “apartheid regime.” But why go to the PA? After all, Aloni also ignores the danger of renting an apartment by a Jew in Umm al-Fahm or Sakhnin, which is not possible today.”, “Augusta Victoria”, “Red Crescent Maternity Hospital” and Alamira Basma Hospital, all of which are Arab hospitals - Jews are not allowed to be hospitalized. This is in Israel in 2015, where all Jewish hospitals have many Arab patients.
I thought to myself that perhaps the fact that some leftists from the leaders of the “peace camp” are revered by the number one Nazi in the US does not indicate that there is a phenomenon here. , Revered by the Israeli left and starring in many antisemitic sites including the antisemitic site “J ... “ hosts many Israelis, all (!) from the Israeli left, and also contains links to other antisemitic sites, including distinctly Nazi sites. In one of the links there I found the reference to an article appearing on the site of the Nazi White Brotherhood headed by Tom Metzger. Beyond the unbridled support for the Palestinian narrative, which places the writer, who defines himself as a Nazi, deep in the Israeli left in terms of his views. Notice who praises the article: Uri Avnery, Max Blumenthal, Noam Chomsky, Jonathan Kook, Norman Finkelstein, Amira Hass [https://www.news1.co.il/TagDetails.aspx?TagID=2721], Gideon Levy, Ilan Pappe, Henry Sigman, Philip Weiss and more. Note that there is not one right here or God forbid any mezuzah weapon.
I started to think that maybe Sobol was wrong. This can not be, after all, he belongs to a left that is never wrong, and therefore does not apologize, neither for Oslo, nor for the dead, nor for anything. But maybe still, this is a Nazi site, of Nazis who know what Nazism means, completely Nazi, and who praises only leftists? There must be a mistake here, I told myself. After all, in Israel, the left bothers to say that we are the “right-wing danger” that threatens Weimar at the end of its enlightened days, but the Nazis still claim that their allies are only left-wingers. Quite deceptive and even embarrassing.
Since Tom Metzger is relatively new to the role of “chairman” of the Nazis there, at least in terms of accuracy, American “Nazism” represents, so I went back to our “good and familiar” Nazi Duke, and found that he also admires Max Blumenthal. Jews, Israelis, as brave dissidents - all from the left. The treatment of Arabs there is exactly the same as the treatment of them in the leftist camp in Israel, we were: in the White Brotherhood sites in the US and around the world, Palestinians are considered oppressed, conquered, Jews As heroes. Netanyahu is denounced on Duke’s website and Metzger’s website as a ruthless and capitalist hedonistic monster, who controls the United States and through it - the whole world. Probably copied by Maury Avnery. The left comes out great there.
In an antisemitic and distorted propaganda video, one of many, Duke describes Jewish control over the world media, banks, government and the world. At the end of his speech (minute 9:19), he suddenly creates self-rehabilitation, through the praise he bestows on several Israelis and Jews, all belonging to the Israeli left, including Holocaust survivor Hajo Meyer, who supports a total boycott of Israel, Uri Avnery, Gilad Atzmon, and more. Very interesting.
I would not have uttered a word, if not necessary, but suddenly so many accusations of the left against the right in Nazism, from Amos Oz, who claimed that the hill youth is a nickname for Hebrew neo-Nazi groups, to the occasional keyboard shimmers, on Facebook. You may want to continue with this report, because the same image appears on other antisemitic sites as well. For the purpose of this article, I have collected a great deal of additional material, such as the attitude of Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein, who star in antisemitic and Nazi sites, to Nazism, and Holocaust denial [http://www.news1.co.il/Archive/003-D-19383-00.html? tag=08-23-48], and on the other hand the treatment of them on the sites of the Israeli left. I wanted to examine the attitude of the left to Holocaust deniers Ernest Zundel or to Robert Faurrison on leftist sites in the country and more. But from the material I uploaded, I preferred to drive in moderation, in that I actually spared my friends on the left and censored much more than I dared to publish. It is also necessary to examine who is fighting the phenomena of Nazism in the country. Hint: They are not leftists.

The Writers at Haaretz Hate Israel and Themselve
February 18, 2015
A poll in 2013 showed that Israelis were the 11th happiest people in the world.
Another survey in 2014 showed that among the 10 countries with advanced economies polled, Israel ranked second in satisfaction with how things were going.
Yet another survey last August showed that 86% of Israelis were satisfied (or very satisfied) with their lives.
But not 100%...
The amount of self-loathing shown here is off the charts. But at Haaretz, this is pretty much par for the course.
To be fair, the writers for +972 Magazine are just as filled with self-hate as those at Haaretz.

Haaretz Commentator Gideon Levy Arrested for ‘Spitting’ at Israeli Soldiers”
by Dave Bender - Dec 22, 2014
Israeli police on Monday arrested Gideon Levy, the well-known columnist for the left-wing Haaretz newspaper, for allegedly spitting at and cursing Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near the Palestinian city of Tulkarm, Israel Radio said.
Gideon Levy, who is strongly pro-Palestinian and infamous for his scathing attacks on the IDF and the Israeli right, was attempting to enter Palestinian Authority area A, without a permit, along with photographer Alex Levac.
The two “confronted [the soldiers], causing a provocation and spitting and cursing at them,” according to The Jerusalem Post. Haaretz later reported that Levy and Levac had been released following questioning.
Earlier in the day, soldiers caught a Palestinian man in an attempted stabbing attack at the checkpoint.

“The Palestinian guide who accompanied the group was Ataf Abu Rob, a Palestinian journalist and investigator for B’Tselem who is responsible for several stories published by the [extreme Leftist Haaretz] journalist Gideon Levy. Abu Rob told ‘Toby’ that the Holocaust is ‘a lie. I don’t believe it.’
“The senior Fatah commander Jibril Rajob also opened his door after he heard about the book that ‘Toby’ planned to publish and told him: ‘Israel is racist and fascist, it will be isolated like South Africa.’ Rajoub’s close confidantes whispered to Tenenbom ‘We are all German, but the only problem is that we know that General Rommel did not succeed in coming here.’

Holocaust deniers in B’Tselem
Ben-Dror Yemini, YNet, Aug 31, 2014.
Organization is not dealing with human rights, but encourages anti-Semitism. It’s not about criticizing Israel’s actions or about healing world; it’s about Jewish support of fabricated blood libels meant to assist Hamas.
B’Tselem is the main supplier of factual background material thanks to researcher Atef Abu a-Rub who is also a Holocaust denier. The man is responsible for dozens of “researches” and reports about the Israeli abuse in the territories. He is so good at his job that when foreign reporters calls B’Tselem to visit the territories, it is Abu a-Rub who is sent to serve as their tour guide and shows them the area through his eyes.
The problem is not Atef Abu a-Rub; the problem is his operators...

Israeli rights group admits employee denied Holocaust
B’Tselem denounces remarks by Ataf Abu Rub, who said WWII atrocities are ‘a lie’; says it is investigating further
By Marissa Newman, TOI, 7 Oct 2014
Tuvia Tennenbaum (left) interviews B’Tselem researcher Ataf Abu Rub (R) (Screen capture: Channel 2)
The Israeli human rights NGO B’Tselem conceded earlier this week that one of its employees denied the Holocaust, retracting an earlier statement which had initially rejected the allegations.
The organization condemned the remarks by researcher Ataf Abu Rub, who was recorded by an undercover freelance journalist in a Channel 2 report several weeks ago as saying, “It’s a lie — I don’t believe it,” in reference to the Nazi genocide of the Jews.

B’Tselem Staff Member Denies Holocaust on TV
Incident, which occurred several weeks ago, reexamined after leftist org. initially distanced itself from anti-Semitic remarks.
[Tags: B’Tselem Holocaust Denial]
Shlomo Pitrikovsky, Tova Dvorin , Oct 05 , 2014.
A researcher for the extreme left group B’Tselem has denied the Holocaust leaving the organization scrambling to clean up its image.
Undercover reporter Tuvia Tenenbom recorded the researcher, Atef Abu-Alrub, saying that the Holocaust is a “lie” that he “doesn’t believe” during a tour of Bedouin village Khirbet Al-Makhul in Judea and Samaria.
Tenenbom’s book Catch the Jew, which was released last month, documented the incident.
After an expose by Channel 2 on the remarks in September, B’Tselem spokesman Sarit Michaeli claimed that the remarks were “lies” and taken out of context...
The organization’s views have apparently changed, however, and on Sunday, a Facebook post by the group pledged to “seriously examine the issue.”

‘Haaretz’: new heights of hatred - NRG

Exposing militant leftist propaganda
By Ayelet Shaked, July 16, 2014
Do you really want to continue getting your news reports about my country from writers who view the truth as little more than a needless inconvenience?
... Haaretz, unfortunately, may look like The New York Times, but it is far from being a liberal, curious newspaper in the Anglo Saxon tradition. Expecting Haaretz to write about a political opponent like myself in an honest, informative—if critical—manner, is a little like expecting Gideon Resnick to offer an unbiased, honest citation from a pro-Zionist post.
And so, when Haaretz, read by a mere 30,000 Israelis, give or take, says I’m (supposedly) “racist” – I’d look for a more reliable source.
Then, in a second article, Resnick also sneaks in the dumb female bit: “the 38-year-old Shaked is also frequently the target of subtle sexism, at best referred to as ‘a young and pretty secular woman.’” And the citation is from – you guessed it, Haaretz. In fact, Electronic Intifada and Haaretz are Resnick’s only sources, other than his brutalization of the Elitzur piece.

Racism in the name of anti-racism
By David Bernstein, June 5, 2014
You can’t make this stuff up. Ha’aretz published an essay by one Salman Masalha, an Arab citizen of Israel who is a prominent poet, who vehemently objects to the fact that he was subject to additional security questioning at Ben-Gurion Airport. Israel, unlike the United States, openly engages in ethnic profiling for security purposes. But this post isn’t about whether or to what extent this is justified.
Rather, it’s about an article so thick with irony you can cut it with a knife. In between denouncing brutal Israeli racism and pronouncing that it has no right to exist (so brutal is the racism that he writes this column without apparent fear of repercussion, but that’s the secondary irony), Masalha describes the airport security official who questions him:
‘Soon, they reappeared, this time with the reinforcement of a muscular man who carried himself like a senior security figure.The muscle, named Ophir, must have thought that the leader of some terror organization had fallen into his hands and that maybe he’d get to expose him and rise in the ranks of nagging and hassling, the sacred “Jewish-democratic” work from the school of Zionism’s (sic) racists.
How long have you been living in Jerusalem? Where did you live before that? and Where are you from originally?” he asked, along with other questions.
Ophir was a young, darkish security man, perhaps a descendant of converts from the Arabian Peninsula, perhaps from the Atlas Mountains. But one thing was clear, his black color looked very shabby, tattered and stained with evil.’
Like I said, you can’t make this stuff up.
_
When responding to imaginary racism in real racism
Salman Masalha wrote in Haaretz that the state of “Z.....t evil” “has no right to exist”, all because of some questions he was asked at Ben Gurion Airport. And also: why was it important for him to emphasize the “black color” of the security guard?
Yishai Goldflam 06/11/14
In other words, according to Masalha’s testimony, he was received at the gates of Ben Gurion Airport kindly, approached with one technical question while waiting in line for check-in, and again, a few moments later, while several other questions were of an informative technical nature. On this minor incident, Masalha was so furious that he came out in a froth against the “racists of Z.....m” from the “rotten kingdom of I....l,” the same “men” whose “little heads” brazenly ask him the “usual stupid questions.” The same “Ophir.” Who seemed to him to be of Oriental descent, described as follows:
Ophir is a young and black security man. Perhaps a descendant of converts from the southern Arabian Peninsula, and perhaps from the Atlas Mountains. But one thing was clear as sun, its black color looked very faded, tattered and stained with evil.
The effluent that he poured on the State of Israel was wiped out by Masalha in a statement that “there is no right to exist” for the state of “Z... evil”, which deserves, a Nazi like her, to come next time at the gates of its airport with a yellow badge. And Haaretz found all this worthy of publication.
When the newspaper’s publisher, Amos Schocken, was asked on Twitter if he did not think Masalha’s tongue was racist (”his black color looks very faded”), he initially said no, as “indistinguishable from the context”, but eventually agreed and admitted that it might make sense. Of Masalha, who interpreted his experience in the field as racism towards him, was “to respond in racist language to show that racism can be two-way.” In other words, the Haaretz publisher admits that his newspaper gave rise to a racist remark by one of his writers.
Zero kidnappings since 1968
If we extend the discussion beyond the author’s racist and extremist language, then Foam goes against the “profiling” method - the selective inspection method used at Ben-Gurion Airport, which concentrates the security check on people whose profile, consisting of their religion, national affiliation or origin, May pose a danger in some data. Since Haaretz has sharply chosen to categorize the method, it is worthwhile to understand what the profiling method is, what its advantages and disadvantages are and what has been done over the years to improve and reduce as much as possible the discomfort and humiliation it may cause Israeli Arabs ...

Arab racism? Rats!
By Yisrael Medad, June 7, 2014
For decades, Arabs claimed they cannot be anti-Semites.
Why?
Because they are Semites themselves. And there are many who are taken in by that.
The caption reads, “the rats are coming”. And one comment reads: “isn’’t it time for a cat?”
Rats [Nazi Propaganda Film] is a classic anti-Semitic frame.
There is also Salman Masalha’s racism defended by Amos Schocken published by his Haaretz. Including this:
‘The muscle, named Ophir, must have thought that the leader of some terror organization had fallen into his hands and that maybe he’d get to expose him and rise in the ranks of nagging and hassling, the sacred “Jewish-democratic” work from the school of Zionism’s (sic) racists.
‘...Ophir was a young, darkish security man, perhaps a descendant of converts from the Arabian Peninsula, perhaps from the Atlas Mountains. But one thing was clear, his black color looked very shabby, tattered and stained with evil.’
So, there is racism in Arab/Muslim society (and Amos S. supports it).
At least we are all clear now about that.

Promoting Hate Speech: Haaretz Plumbs New Depths
Simon Plosker, June 5, 2014
Haaretz’s publisher Amos Schocken recently made clear in an open call for subscribers that he sees his newspaper as a tool to advance a particular politicized agenda. But just how far is Haaretz willing to go? Judging by an opinion piece, Haaretz has crossed the line from legitimate criticism into outright hatred towards the state of Israel.
In his piece... Salman Masalha, an Israeli Arab...
While Masalha accuses Israel of being a racist state,... he may wish to reflect on his own choice of words when describing the senior Israeli security officer whom is the object of his rage:
‘Ophir was a young, darkish security man, perhaps a descendant of converts from the Arabian Peninsula, perhaps from the Atlas Mountains. But one thing was clear, his black color looked very shabby, tattered and stained with evil.’
It is astonishing that a newspaper that promotes its “liberal” sensitivities could allow a sentence such as this to get past the editorial process. It does however, reveal that Masalha is driven by the same racism he claims to be a victim of.
Ultimately, were the language of hate in this Haaretz opinion piece to appear in a foreign media outlet, it would provoke outrage. That it appears in an Israeli news source considered by foreign journalists to be the Israeli paper of record gives legitimacy to the language of delegitimization.
Haaretz has a right to criticize Israel but it also has a responsibility not to publish hate speech and the open questioning of Israel’s very right to exist. Is it any surprise that some foreign media outlets have few qualms about publishing similar screeds if they can find them in Haaretz?

Am Haaretz
By Meir Solomon
Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at 9:12 pm | י”א חשון תשע”ה
“The pen is mightier than the sword” and “a picture is worth a thousand words”; “Discretion is the better part of valor,” which more pertinently can be adapted to the better part of comedy is knowing what NOT to say and when NOT to say it.” How does this assortment of aphorisms assemble into coherence? In one small cartoon, worth more than a thousand letters of commendation. This vulgar visual in the wrong hands (it will undoubtedly end up there, as it metastasizes through this global village) will be wielded with more devastation than a sword. The offender, himself a caricature of a cartoonist, could not resist proving just how clever he is and in the process of “in-valorous” indiscretion, cast a cartoon completely devoid of comedy. It will be abused by Muslims, Leftists, Rightists, anti-Semites, anti-Israelists, and conspiracy-theory kooks.
The cartoon is a simple box focused on the relationship between its two subjects, a skyscraper and an airplane. The objects are clearly defined: The skyscraper has an American flag atop its roof; on the fuselage of the plane is written Israel and if that were not clear enough, it is piloted by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. I forgot to mention that the building is a pre-9/11 Twin Tower and that the “Israel” plane Netanyahu is piloting is about to crash into it. The cartoon’s message is that Netanyahu is a kamikaze terrorist attacking the United States and in the process detonating Israel. This image portrays the heinous accusation that Israel’s Mossad was actually behind 9/11, obvious to all except for its creator who, no doubt, thinks himself funny and clever, insightful. What this “cur-toonist” is, in fact, is its homonym, “INCITEFUL.”
This visual offense was published here in Israel in last Thursday’s Haaretz newspaper, reaffirming that Israel is the one nation in the region with Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press, despite baseless accusations to the contrary. Americans and citizens of the democratic West, having grown up with these freedoms as the basic fabric of society, take them for granted, assuming them as a birthright. At times, despite making my living by the grace of these freedoms, I too had been guilty of taking them for granted. Now living in Israel, the only bastion of freedom of speech in this benighted corner of the world, I have come to view these freedoms differently, more sacredly. These freedoms are to be cherished, and by that I mean not abused.
Haaretz newspaper in general and this culpable cur-toonist in particular vomit vitriol and call it a paper, thereby abusing the gift of speech and Freedom of the Press. In past columns I have referred to the loony-Leftist Haaretz and its stable (pun absolutely intended) of writers. The paper proudly claims as its purveyors of perspective the infamous Amira Haas who exhorted Palestinians to exercise “Freedom of Speech” metaphorically by replacing words with stone epithets and hurling them at the Jews of Israel, putting into practice the old adage “sticks and stones may break my (Jewish) bones…” Not to be outdone, Haas’ colleague on the paper is the notorious Gideon Levy, the toast of terrorists. While Amira Haas merely lives among the Arabs in Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority’s putative capital, and exhorts the locals to insurrection, Levy’s articles play persuasively in the international theater. One can hear his tropes accusing Israel of apartheid and ethnic cleansing in the slander brought by the world against the Jewish nation. Most disgracefully, during last summer’s Operation Protective Edge, he accused Israeli fighter pilots of attempted genocide against the citizens of Gaza. His column entitled “Lowest Deeds from Loftiest Heights,” and its quote, “they (Israeli pilots) are now perpetrating the worst, the cruelest, the most despicable deeds,” caused a Member of Knesset to denounce him as an enemy of Israel and a traitor. One does not think Levy was offended by the appellation.
The proof of Israel’s Freedom of the Press is that Haaretz still puts out its daily filth, though its circulation is in freefall. Levy’s scandalous claims over the summer led to many hundreds of cancellations of subscriptions, which may not seem like much but considering Haaretz’s low readership numbers, the bite was felt. And it is with the cancellation of subscriptions and falling readership that “Freedom of Choice” becomes the corrective to Freedom of Speech run amok. It would be unlawful and inappropriate for the government to shut down Haaretz on the grounds that it is an offensive rag, but it would not be inappropriate for the people of Israel to do so by financially ignoring it, which they are. The paper holds little if any credibility in Israel, but in truth does have an audience and influence in the nations of the European Union which are all too happy to imbibe its poison. Let them drink heartily; they never were interested in supporting Jews or Israel anyway.
Haaretz brings to mind the advice of Mark Twain, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” But what can you expect from an “Am HAARETZ?”

An all-time low for ‘Haaretz’

On Thursday, Haaretz published a political cartoon that caused a backlash the likes of which make the “chickenshit” story pale in comparison.
The cartoon depicts Netanyahu flying a plane into the World Trade Center.
Not only is it vile in and of itself, but the fact that it appeared while Glick remained in critical condition made it all the more repugnant.
To add insult to injury, cartoonist Amos Biderman defended his drawing.
“The message is that Bibi [Netanyahu] is arrogantly and wantonly destroying Israel’s ties with the US and leading us to a disaster on the scale of 9/11,” he said. “It was certainly not my intention to insult or upset anyone. I wasn’t sufficiently aware of the great sensitivity that 9/11 holds for Americans.”
Really. I guess he was equally unaware of the “great sensitivity” that anti-Semitic imagery holds for Jews everywhere.
Apparently, he and his Haaretz cohorts are so insulated by their bubble of chattering- class respectability that they do not notice when they have gone too far.
How do you say “shitstorm” in Hebrew?

ADL Calls on Haaretz to Apologize for Offensive Cartoon Equating Israeli Prime Minister with 9/11 Hijackers
Published: 10.30.2014
New York, NY, October 30, 2014 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called on the editors of the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz to retract and apologize for publishing a grossly offensive cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the pilot of an airplane headed toward the Twin Towers. The editorial cartoon, by Amos Biderman, apparently attempts to analogize Mr. Netanyahu’s behavior in his diplomatic relations with the U.S. with the actions of the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 terror attacks.

An editorial cartoon in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper is drawing criticism for using Sept. 11 imagery to depict U.S.-Israel relations under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In it, a character resembling Netanyahu is seen flying a small plane into a building that resembles a World Trade Center tower. An American flag flies atop the skyscraper.
The cartoon, which appeared Thursday, comes after the Israeli leader was reportedly criticized by an Obama administration official as being a “chickensh**”...

Father of WTC Victim Blasts Haaretz Over Cartoon Showing Netanyahu as 9/11 Terrorist
by Ben Cohen
Oct 30, 2014.
The father of a young New Yorker who was murdered during the September 11, 2001 terrorist atrocity at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan has sharply criticized the Israeli newspaper Haaretz for a cartoon published today that displays the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, piloting a plane marked with the word “Israel” into a skyscraper flying the American flag.
Roman Gertsberg, whose 25 year-old daughter Marina was inside the World Trade Center complex when Al Qaeda terrorists crashed two planes into the twin towers, told The Algemeiner, “If this cartoon shows that Israel flies the plane into the World Trade Center, then it is the most ridiculous display I’ve ever seen. Nobody in their right mind should associate Israel with flying a plane into the WTC . It it very offensive to 9/11 families to distort the historical events of that tragic day in order to bring attention to one political statement or another.”
Gertsberg emphasized: “We know who the perpetrators were – Al Qaeda and all their supporters.”
The cartoon, by resident Haaretz artist Amos Biderman, has drawn an angry response since being posted online this morning. Many critics expressed surprise and dismay that an Israeli newspaper would fuel the myth that Israel had a role in the 9/11 atrocity, a favored theme of the so-called “9/11 Truth” movement.

Haaretz Smears American Terrorism Expert with Political Hit Job
While Haaretz attacked Emerson for being a Republican who is friends with Sheldon Adelson, the sources it relied upon did not actually refute that the U.S. pulled the plug on assisting Israel locate a kidnapped soldier.
By Lori Lowenthal Marcus
-
27 Tishri 5775 – October 21, 2014
To be sure, the information provided by Steve Emerson regarding a decision by the U.S. government to stand down on an ongoing attempt to provide the Israeli government with critical information regarding an Israeli soldier whom Hamas claimed it had in its custody during this summer’s conflict was shocking.
But perhaps just as shocking – or it should be – was a politically driven smear by Haaretz of Emerson’s credentials and his alleged political friendships, suggesting that was all that was driving Emerson’s claims.
Although the Haaretz article claimed Emerson was wrong about the facts that he alleged, its portrayal of the U.S. government’s refutation was misleading and its focus ugly – that Emerson, a “right-wing Republican” is a “personal friend” of Sheldon Adelson, who is a “formidable patron of the Republican party and Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.”
The Haaretz article stated as fact that Emerson “is a controversial figure in the United States” about whom “members of the Muslim community and the left in the United States” (no names, no numbers, just members) “say he is islamophobic.” http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/haaretz-smears-american-terrorism-expert-with-political-hit-job/2014/10/21/

To write in Haaretz. Disqualified article for publication. On the eve of Rosh Hashana
Sep 24, 2014
Peace to you?
About once a week I publish an article in Haaretz, attach a link and the full text .. Recently I was offered a regular column by the newspaper. Every Wednesday.
I checked if this also includes New Year’s Eve, i.e. today. They said yes. I sent. It turns out that the article was too difficult for the newspaper’s famous pluralism. I enclose it herewith. Please distribute. It is important that he reach tens of thousands to prove that the age of media censorship has passed from the world.
Happy New Year to you and all your family.
Aryeh Eldad
To Write in Haaretz
Aryeh Eldad
About thirty-five years ago, an article with the same headline was published in Haaretz. In which I read: “Haaretz often causes me, and my shoulders, sadness in the face of its political positions - not only in the publicist part, in the editorial articles but sometimes also in the informative part.” Haaretz is a non-partisan newspaper, although the general line of His views are clear. Against this background, it is certain that it is unique to place a nest in one predatory bird. But such a “nest”, is not in the nature of giving kosher? “
This is what my father, Dr. Israel Eldad A”H, wrote, who wrote for the newspaper for many years. And my concerns today are similar to his. And not because of the articles of Gideon Levy or Amira Hass or Udi Aloni and the like. On the contrary. I’m happy to read them to realize again that you do not have a low degree that does not have a more lower degree. And hopefully even the rest of Haaretz readers... understand what abysses self-hatred leads to. And what is the real face of the Israeli left if it is consistent. Tuvia Tennenbaum defined them beautifully in his book “Captured the Jew”: “He loves the Palestinians not because of who they are, because he has no idea who they are at all, but because of what they are not: they are not Jews. They are the enemies of the Jews and that makes them wonderful people.”
Over thirty years ago. On December 19, 1983, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Prof. Yehuda Blum, met for lunch with Egyptian Ambassador Khalil. Immediately after the dessert he hurried to Jerusalem with a secret telegram: “I told him that… no dissatisfaction with the moves we take can justify the style they take… Khalil replied that things were mainly based on the words of the Israeli press and mentioned in this regard mainly “Haaretz” And “Haolam Haze”…
The dilemma of whether to continue writing in the paper, and serve as a kind of “fig leaf” for the pluralism of the paper is not precisely because of the opinion pieces in the paper but because of the news, informative part, which makes it a rich newspaper that has so much to read. The news ”immersed in poison. And not necessarily the kind that comes to bring out our evil slander in the world, and to serve as a tool in the hands of our enemies like 30 years ago. I am more outraged at the “brainwashing” directed inward. To the Israeli public.
For example: As part of the “Haaretz for Peace Conference,” the newspaper published survey results on July 7. When the respondents were presented with the meanings of a peace agreement with the Palestinians (60% of the respondents supported a “Palestinian state alongside Israel”), ie: “Establishment of a Palestinian state within borders 67 with border amendments, most settlers will be annexed to Israel, Jerusalem will be divided Respondents opposed such an agreement. And yet the headline in the newspaper was: “Despite everything, most Israelis support the establishment of a Palestinian state.” The survey revealed the truth, Israelis want a Palestinian state but not at their own expense. Maybe in northern Sinai, maybe in Jordan. But the headline is a brainwashing, which encourages the rapidly shrinking Israeli left because “the majority still supports them.” The following headline skews public opinion, appealing to the herd instinct, like an advertisement that says: “Most Israelis buy air conditioners” X.
So should I continue writing in Haaretz? On the one hand: it’s fun to annoy leftists. I read talkbacks. Some of them bubble up in rage every time I publish a list in “their” newspaper as a photographer in the hall. Maybe some of them will even cancel the appointment because of me? But on the other hand - I help the newspaper to adorn itself with a pluralistic crown, it is possible to publish any anti-Zionist abomination if I am also published.
I do not deceive myself: I do not convince any leftist to convert to his faith. At most I manage to sow doubts, and maybe reality will do the rest. Happy New Year.

Expressions of hatred and incitement against Jews in the Haaretz newspaper
A letter to the Attorney General, Yehuda Weinstein, following expressions of hatred and inflammatory words bordering on anti-Semitic style in the Haaretz newspaper.
Mati David, News1, June 18, 2012.
...How a senior journalist in Haaretz loses control of reason and normative logic and writes a text of hatred and incitement.
His words are not a legitimate expression of the so-called freedom of expression and opinion but rather an expression of an extreme anarchist “worldview”, bordering on known anti-Semitic texts, in order to turn Israel into a monster.
His words are a promiscuous and shocking expression of an Israeli Jewish journalist who makes a connection and connection between the Jewish mind of a Nobel Prize recipient, and the murder of a Palestinian by a Jewish soldier in the IDF. He tries to “explain” that there is a connection between the Jewish genius and the disdain for the human life of the non-Jewish Arab...

“A Central Stage for Incitement”, a chapter from “The Industry of Lies” by Ben-Dror Yemini
- “The most popular Israeli newspaper in English, ‘Haaretz’, has in the last decade become one of the pillars of the industry of lies against Israel. The problem is with biases, distortions, lies and encouraging the Palestinians to refuse, further intifada and violence.”
Ben-Dror Yemini, Sep 17, 2014.
... Amnon Dankner, who was then the editor of Maariv, decided to examine the story in depth (”Who is the Beast Here,” June 25, 2006). The result was embarrassing: the story was not and was not created, but a faint rumor, and the Palestinian family mentioned in the article denied it outright. The Department of Police Investigations at the Ministry of Justice (DIP) contacted Haaretz, B’Tselem, the Palestinian Authority and the victim’s family - none of them could provide a shred of proof that something similar to what was described in the article did happen in reality.
The man who published the article in the Haaretz newspaper was Gideon Levy. Levy’s status has been rising over the past two decades. As his attitude toward Israel grew and so did the officer, his status increased. Although Levy does not speak Arabic, he is the journalist who covers the territories for Haaretz. Levy’s stories are spreading around the world. He is probably the most famous Israeli journalist in the world. He has been invited to many forums, including academics, as an expert on the Palestinian issue. There is usually no person in front of him who can deny the stories he is distributing.
Levy never withdrew from the harsh story...
The children who were not
Sometimes the plot of war crimes is presented casually. Thus, for example, one of the newspaper’s regular writers, Yitzhak Laor, claimed that during the First Lebanon War, “the IDF blew up the mosque in Ein al-Hilweh on hundreds of its fortifications, including children” (”There was no deception war”, June 5, 2012). ... asked the author for the source of the information (” Children or warriors? “). The author referred the site to Zeev Schiff and Ehud Yaari’s book, “War of Deception.” But there is no mention of such a description in the book...
Laor previously published in a British magazine (”After Jenin”) that in order to destroy with “no gas chambers are needed”, and this can be done for the Palestinians by increasing infant mortality. It was a heinous lie. The situation is completely opposite: infant mortality has dropped dramatically under Israeli rule. And here, Laor continues to spread lies, again about children, again about crimes against humanity, in the opinion pages of the Haaretz newspaper.
The massacre that wasn’t
Following a long series of severe attacks, in which hundreds of Israelis were killed, and after a particularly severe attack on Seder night at the Park Hotel in Netanya, Israel launched Operation Defensive Shield in the West Bank cities in 2002. One of the most difficult battles was in Jenin. The Palestinians claimed that Israel had committed a massacre and tried to hide 900 bodies. The world responded with condemnation. Not many days passed, and it turned out that this was, again, a plot. A UN investigation found that 23 Israeli soldiers and 52 Palestinians were killed during the battle, most of them members of terrorist organizations. As a result, more IDF soldiers were injured, and five bereaved families even called for Ben-Eliezer’s resignation. One thing is undisputed: the plot of the massacre in Jenin has been completely refuted. never happened and never existed.
But the Haaretz newspaper went on to say: “The war crimes committed in Jenin are known all over the world,” one of the writers claimed in 2012. Although the allegations were refuted, also by a commission of inquiry on behalf of the UN, the Haaretz newspaper continued to provide, as usual, a platform for spreading lies.
The compensation that became dispossession
In early 2012, articles about further Israeli abuse of Palestinian Arabs began to appear in the global media and in the virtual space. Injury to innocent and innocent civilians, expropriation, expropriation of property and lands, transfer, humiliation. All of these took place, according to hundreds of publications, under the auspices of the cruel Zionist project. The story, which received extensive coverage, in essence, is about Umm al-Hiran, a so-called Bedouin village, whose very old residents were forcibly dispossessed and removed, according to a decision by the Israeli government, in order to establish a Jewish settlement in its place. Haaretz, again, led the series of articles, with allegations of the “transfer” injustice perpetrated by “people belonging to the upper race and the chosen people.”
Any person with human rights dear to his heart would be outraged. But he was not and was not created. Members of the al-Qiaan tribe were transferred from area to area, at their request, due to a tribal conflict, in the 1950s. They settled in the Yatir area, and a few families also migrated to the Hiran area. There is also debate among academics regarding the degree of recognition required of land rights to those who do not meet the conditions of registration of an advanced state. There are claims, some right, about different and weird registration methods. To resolve the dispute, the state established permanent settlements, including infrastructure, electrical systems, paved roads, and provided dunams of land to each family. Each family received compensation for leaving the previous place, including monetary compensation for those against whom there were judgments on eviction. The state used every reasonable means to allow the Bedouin an orderly settlement, granting ownership rights, establishing infrastructure and education systems. Sometimes it is a passage of a few hundred meters, from the previous, unregulated place, to the new, regulated and familiar place.
Most of the tribe’s families accepted the arrangement and moved to the nearby settlement of Hura. Each family received an acre of land, monetary compensation, and more. If in a given family a man had three wives, the family received three dunams (although the law in Israel does not allow polygamy). They became the owners of the new complexes, without paying a single penny, neither for the area nor for the telephone infrastructure, electricity or roads.
A small minority of the tribe decided not to join the settlement, but to remain on state lands. In any other country, the authorities would evict the individual invaders and charge them the eviction expenses. Not so in Israel. Haaretz mobilized to fight for the minority that refused the generous arrangement proposed by the state.
One of the allegations was that it was a “evacuation of Bedouin for the purpose of building a settlement for Jews only.” This claim is also based on a lie. The settlement was not intended for Jews only. The only localities intended for members of a particular religion were the Bedouin localities. Every Bedouin was allowed to buy a plot of land in the new settlement, just like the Jews. With one difference. A payment must be made for a plot of land in the new locality of Hiran. In the Bedouin localities - the land is provided free of charge. If there is discrimination it is in favor of the Bedouin.
No expropriation, no expropriation, no evacuation, no transfer was here, but a fair arrangement also in the opinion of most of the members of the al-Qi’an tribe, who moved to the settlement of Hura, and were given the lands registered in their names in the law. The right of every source, including the Haaretz newspaper, to claim that more should be given to the Bedouin. His right to claim that they are deprived. It is permissible to do so, provided that the newspaper presents correct facts. It did not happen. There was not a single article that presented the facts of the truth.
The libel of apartheid
One of the highlights of all time was when the Haaretz newspaper published the following headline: “Most ... support an apartheid...” This was the headline on the front page of the newspaper. If these things were true, they should have been published, but this was one of the most blatant lies published against the State of Israel in recent years. Gideon Levy was the man behind the headline. Within a few days, the information was published in most of the free world newspapers. The lie about apartheid has risen to the highest level.
How was the lie created?... Anyone who reads surveys knows that they should be read carefully. In different surveys, the same questions bring up different results. Sometimes the results are skewed according to the will of the ordering party. In the case before us, this is a survey commissioned by an association whose one head is Avrom Burg...
The Israel Democracy Institute’s Democracy Index, for example, indicates that Israeli Arabs are much less tolerant of neighbors than Jews in Israel. According to Gideon Levy, this was supposed to make them racists. But do not worry, Levy retains this title for Jews only. The difference between Israel and other Western countries is that Israel is in constant conflict. Israelis are facing waves of Islamic incitement, and repeated calls for the extermination of Jews and the extermination of Israel. Despite this, most Israelis do not oppose an Arab neighbor and support political rights for Arabs, even according to the results of the distorted survey. This is a certificate of honor for Israelis...
There is more bad news for Levy: the Israel Democracy Institute’s Democracy Index from 2012, found that most Arabs do complain about discrimination, but most Israeli Arabs think Israel is sufficiently democratic (44%), or even too democratic (7.8%). Here, Israeli Arabs are able to understand that discrimination is not apartheid, and that Israel is a democracy. Gideon Levy is incapable.
Two days passed, and Levy published another article, in which he boasted that the survey he published “caused a great deal of controversy in the world.” There is no doubt that this time it was a correct sentence. Levy not only repeated his false claims, but also boasted that he had managed to spread her fabrications. A few more days passed, and Levy published another article entitled “We were wrong, but.” This was not an apology article. On the contrary: Levy claimed that his mistakes were marginal and the claims about apartheid were all true.
Certificate for anti-Semitism
The Haaretz newspaper is not content with defaming Israel, it also deals with issuing legitimizition to anti-Semites. In the summer of 2013, Gideon Levy visited...

What Haaretz pages become abroad
To the attention of Haaretz,
the following rows you are hopefully going to read, are written in a place where Hebrew is not the official language, where IDF is not the national army, where on Yom Kippur there are cars on the streets as in any other day of the year.
I am writing you from Italy, but it could be from Paris, Antwerp, London, Marseilles. It could be from any other town in the world.
But Israel.
The place you write from.
The place where you look at reality and decide to describe it, in your peculiar way, to readers who live abroad.
To people who, after having read your rows, will decide. If to like us or hate us with all their hearts.
Here, outside from Israel, life is not easy for us.
We deal everyday with international news web sites that dedicate cubital headlines to Israel, calling it with words they don’t dedicate even to the worst, disrespectful of human rights, countries of the world.
We read everyday newspapers that dedicate pages and pages to humanitarian problems in Gaza and a rare few rows to the constant threaten, the terroristic menace that Israel is facing since years.
We face schemes that show the number of victims from both sides. As we were in a competition where the part with more casualties, wins.
Here, Israeli reality is manipulated through mediatic strategies. News about Jews are not treated in the same way as news about Darfour. They are not as news about Nigeria or Mosul.
Here, reality becomes different when it is colored with white and blue.
I know history quite well. These, who are reporting the news about Israel around the world hoping that more and more people will condemn it, will be against it and, at the end, will hate me for being a Jew, these people are the children of the children of those who prepared in Spain the AutoDeFe for my ancestors, they are the offspring of those who ran with their horses and swords to cut the beard and the head of my forefathers, they are part of a culture which took Jewish children, women, elderly and men, and melted their bodies in crematoria in order to get forever rid of all Jews .
When all these things are delivered in my life through a non Jewish channel, I turn the page, I digit another website name, I turn off. And I engage my own little campaign.
I try to go around and tell the truth. I want people to know the real Jewish ideals that walk with an Israeli soldier, that make him offer food and shelter to children, though he knows he is at risk of being blown up by an infant adapted explosive belt.
I describe to Europeans, to professors, to other Italian mothers and friends, the moral principles that hold back an Israeli soldier’s hand from protecting himself, only because he has just seen his worst enemy hiding behind a woman with a baby, a terrorist protecting himself with a human shield.
But often, when I try to show our real face, to bring truth to surface, to cut the legs to the millions of lies the world is reading and telling, most times I get the same answer.
I get a link to your website, an article of yours.
And from there, the step is too short.
From your message to the next stage.
Where your shouted words against Israel become weapons in the hands of our enemies.
Where your pages become part of 2014 antisemitic libels, where Jews have always that ugly nose.
Where your rows become part of the stones thrown to Synagogues and Jewish shops at the sound of ‘death to the Jews’-
Where you become the Jewish justification for the beatings of French Jews, for hating and cursing every man who goes around with a distinctive Jewish symbol, for killing two Israelis in a Belgian museum.
This is the way your news are internationally used.
Antisemitism can be cherished by a Jewish point of view.
Why am I addressing you?
Because you and me, we all descend from one common soul.
We share a common root, a piece of Heaven engraved in out hearts, with all Jews scattered around the world,
We share thousands of years of persecution and hatred.
We share songs. We share food and ideals.
We share life as a the highest goal.
We share history and past.
And hopefully, with G-d’s help, a better future, for all of us.
Dear journalist of Haaretz,
the world fears one thing most.
It fears our unity, our capacity to be one, despite different visions, despite different ways of living our religion and identity, despite different languages spoken at home. Because they know.
That when we stay together, when we close our eyes and forget the colors of the flags that are hanging in our homes, when in 40,000 we answer ‘amen’ to the kadish of a chayal boded’s father because we don’t want him to feel alone, these are moments that make us stronger and stronger. Stronger than the world.
Stronger than the ancient dream of our enemies.
To see us, one day, G-d forbids, disappear.
This is not an opinion matter. Not anymore.
This is a life matter. Mine and of all the millions of Jews who live abroad.
Please, before writing and publishing, before spreading around news, before adding fuel to the antisemitic fire, take in consideration the collateral effect of every word of yours, think if it will make stronger the seventy wolfs, that surround the Jewish lamb.
I am writing you from Italy. I am writing you from Europe. I am writing you from a place where people come in touch with the Israeli reality, through news, through mass media, through your articles and words too.
You are sitting there, safely and protected, you are among your nation. Maybe people who don’t think like you will stop you during an interview, will react with comments to your written rows. You are there, among Jews.
We are not. People here don’t know who we are, most of them ignore what being a Jew does mean. They don’t mind where we come from, what are our life missions. They often ignore on purpose our signals, our will to let ourselves known. They prefer to imagine, to guess, and, when it comes to inform themselves,
Your words are attached to the stones that are thrown towards Jews in French towns. The way you tell the world the Israeli reality, cutting and pasting some parts according to your vision of the world, is a weapon in the hands of antisemites.
You have a responsibility.
When I discuss with somebody, trying to bring back impartiality in the environment, I am always answered with an article of yours.
Your articles are the proof, for our enemies, that they are true. That they have the right to harm us, to put our lives in danger.

We are defending Israel
Journalists are in charge of the most powerful weapon - the words, and we trust that they will use them wisely - However, with his fingers Gideon Levy conducts a show trial for Air Force pilots
Captain J. Posted on: 15.07.2014
“Newspapers are common man’s university”... Over the years we develop a close relationship with them based on trust; And the proof of this is that we entrust to them the most powerful weapon - the words. We trust them to use them wisely, to be moral, human and sensitive. That in the war for consciousness they will not be used to harm the innocent or the uninvolved.
But today one of those journalists used the power given to him in evil, stupidity and cruelty. From his elevated position he saw only black dots running across the white computer screen. Writes and dictates what is truth and what is false, and with his fingers conducts a show trial against Air Force pilots. And poof! Judgment! One word hits the next one, and a few dozen more taps on the old computer keys, and it will already be possible to go home early to the woman and maybe have time to see some nice movie. An honest and innocent press, the moral press in the world.
Gideon Levy was wrong.
We’ll state first and foremost that our ultimate goal is to protect the existence of the State of Israel, its independence and the security of its inhabitants. We strive with all our might, every day and every hour to meet this task for the benefit of the Israeli families in the home front, out of a great sense of responsibility and mission.
When we hit a terrorist, we believe the mission was successful - but we are not happy that a mother in Gaza has lost her son. We see every body mutilated, every wounded bleeding, every child terrified, and it snores deep inside us. We are fighting not to deny rights to the other side but to restore to us the right to live in peace and security in the Land of Israel.

Offenders of hate crimes
There is widespread agreement in Israeli society and in the Knesset that action must be taken against hate crimes
Moshe Hasdai, Daaton, July 10, 2014
Guilty of knowingly spreading lies for the purpose of demonization...
The king of the Jewish instigators and criminals of hatred is undoubtedly one, Dr. Ilan Pepe of the University of Haifa.
Knowing him for long: This is the late philosopher Professor Ilan Gur-Ze’ev. He put Pepe on a par with the philosopher Salvoy Zizek and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as prominent figures of the new anti-Semitism. The queen of instigators and hate criminals in Israel is Professor Nurit Elchanan-Peled of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Duchess of Hate is the president of Bezalel, Professor Eva Iluz of the University of Jerusalem. The Duke of Hate was named Professor Lev Greenberg of Ben-Gurion University.
Professor Noam Chomsky serves as the High Priest of the Hall of Hate. His deputy is Norman Finkelstein. The court journalist of the Kingdom of Hate is none other than Gideon Levy. Two journalists and one journalist help him and recommend the renewal of the intifada: Yitzhak Laor, Akiva Eldar, Amira Hass. The hate newspaper is the tabloid dripping with hate poison and its name is Haaretz.

Israeli ‘Peace Conference’ Marred by Violence, Support for IDF Israeli official defended
Adam Kredo
July 8, 2014
A “peace conference” sponsored by the leftist Israeli newspaper Haaretz devolved into violence on Tuesday when an Israeli government official was heckled and then punched in the back by an attendee, according to reports.
Attendees at the Israel Conference on Peace—which was kicked off with an endorsement by President Barack Obama and features a who’s who of liberal speakers—began shouting hateful slogans and then accosted Knesset member Naftali Bennett after he defended the government’s military action, which was undertaken to stop Hamas terrorists from bombarding civilians with rockets.
Left-leaning government officials who spoke at the conference condemned Hamas’ aggression and said that Israel must take action to defend itself from these attacks, a message not necessarily shared by many in the audience.
Haaretz officials—who publish a paper known for its hostility to Israeli military action, sympathy to the Palestinians, and opposition to the current Israeli government—may have been surprised to see their “peace conference” become a platform for condemnations of Hamas and endorsements of Israeli military strikes on Gaza.
The conference opened as Israeli air raid sirens went off, signaling a Hamas attack on Tel Aviv. This followed the launch by Israel of Operation Protective Edge, a narrowly targeted military campaign that comes in response to weeks of rocket attacks by Hamas...

Naftali Bennett Physically Attacked at ‘Peace Conference’
Arutz Sheva - July 8, 2014
Uzi Baruch, Gil Ronen
The Minister of Economics, Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett, was verbally and physically assaulted Tuesday in the course of the Peace Conference sponsored by ultra-leftist newspaper Haaretz.
Bennett was one of the few speakers invited to the conference from outside of the political left. When he walked up on the stage, boos and catcalls of “fascist” and “murderer” were heard from the audience.
Additionally, cries of “Mohammed Abu Khder’s blood is on your hands” were heard, a reference to the 16-year-old Arab youth found murdered last Wednesday...
The Jewish Home leader used a phrase familiar to smartphone GPS users when he asked rhetorically if it was not time for the left wing to “recalculate its route.” He insisted that he, too, wants “to present a vision of peace” – on the condition that it be a true peace.
“The Jewish people and the state of Israel do not want war,” he explained. “Someone here said, with chutzpah, ‘you do.’ To my regret, I fought in the first intifada, the second one and the Second Lebanon War. No one in this room can moralize to me about wanting peace. No one in the state of Israel wants peace more than I do.”
At the end of the speech, as Bennett got down off the stage, a group of roughly 20 to 30 youths tried to physically attack him. One of them succeeded in reaching him and punching him in the back.
Bennett no sooner spun around and said “who hit me?” than he was whisked away from the scene by security....

Arab racism? Rats!
By Y. Medad - June 7, 2014
For decades, Arabs claimed they cannot be anti-Semites.
Why?
Because they are Semites themselves. And there are many who are taken in by that.
Let’s present something more, well, stark:
The caption reads, “the rats are coming”. And one comment reads: “isn’’t it time for a cat?”
Rats (starting at 3:40) is a classic anti-Semitic frame.
There is also Salman Masalha’s racism defended by Amos Schocken published by his Haaretz. Including this:
‘The muscle, named Ophir, must have thought that the leader of some terror organization had fallen into his hands and that maybe he’d get to expose him and rise in the ranks of nagging and hassling, the sacred “Jewish-democratic” work from the school of Zionism’s racists.
...Ophir was a young, darkish security man, perhaps a descendant of converts from the Arabian Peninsula, perhaps from the Atlas Mountains. But one thing was clear, his black color looked very shabby, tattered and stained with evil.’
So, there is racism in Arab/Muslim society (and Amos S. supports it)...

Simon Plosker - June 5, 2014
Haaretz’s publisher Amos Schocken recently made clear in an open call for subscribers that he sees his newspaper as a tool to advance a particular politicized agenda. But just how far is Haaretz willing to go? Judging by an opinion piece, Haaretz has crossed the line from legitimate criticism into outright hatred towards the state of Israel.
In his piece, “Israeli apartheid exposed at the airport,” (behind a pay-wall) Salman Masalha, an Israeli Arab, writes: Many would agree with the principle that a state..
It is astonishing that a newspaper that promotes its “liberal” sensitivities could allow a sentence such as this to get past the editorial process. It does however, reveal that Masalha is driven by the same racism he claims to be a victim of.
Ultimately, were the language of hate in this Haaretz opinion piece to appear in a foreign media outlet, it would provoke outrage. That it appears in an Israeli news source considered by foreign journalists to be the Israeli paper of record gives legitimacy to the language of delegitimization.
Haaretz has a right to criticize Israel but it also has a responsibility not to publish hate speech and the open questioning of Israel’s very right to exist. Is it any surprise that some foreign media outlets have few qualms about publishing similar screeds if they can find them in Haaretz?

Ben Ezer News - 949

Mati David
What is the connection between anti-Semitism, the Palestinian Nakba and Haaretz?
A global survey of anti-Semitism revealed that among Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza it is the highest in relation to the rest of the world. The survey was conducted by the Anti-Defamation League among more than 50,000 respondents in 102 countries around the world. They are more loyal to Israel than to the country in which they live.
Haaretz’s editorial dated May 19, 2014, entitled “Recruited anti-Semitism,” nullifies the credibility of the poll, belittles the findings, tries to “explain” that it was intended to serve Netanyahu’s political interest in refusing to recognize the Nakba and withdraw from the occupation for peace. Haaretz dares to accuse Netanyahu of “exploiting” anti-Semitism for the continuation of the occupation. “Netanyahu, as one of the demagogues, used one of the survey findings to justify the occupation and the non-recognition of the Nakba.”
Haaretz accuses Netanyahu of secretly not recognizing the Nakba that prevents peace. Haaretz completely lost the Israeli narrative and connected to the Palestinian narrative. Haaretz has become a full partner in the anti-Israel lie industry. The newspaper became the source of information for Israel’s delegitimization in the world.

Haaretz Goes Full-Blown Conspiracy
by Michael Rubin
June 4, 2014
Jeffrey Goldberg, a self-reverential and prolific pundit who often writes on Israel-Palestinian issues, set off a mini-firestorm yesterday when he criticized the left-wing Israel daily Haaretz for a commentary headlined, “Why all Israelis are Cowards.” But lost in that controversy was an equally significant Haaretz book review entitled, “Was the Iranian threat fabricated by Israel and the U.S.?” The recent review and interview—written and conducted by Haaretz staff blogger and academic Shemuel Meir—treats with great credulity Gareth Porter’s recent book Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Nuclear Scare. Porter weaves together his narrative with questionable sources, fuzzy interpretation of sources, and cherry-picked data. The result is a forgettable tale easily refuted by legitimate sources and data Porter chose to ignore.
More curious is what Meir Meir and Haaretz omitted.
While Porter’s scholarship should be judged on its own terms, it is also fair to consider the context of Porter’s work. Previous work—and the reason why Porter remains an ‘independent’ scholar—shows a disturbing willingness to subvert scholarly integrity to politics and to give the benefit of the doubt to radical causes. In 1976, he published Cambodia: Starvation and Revolution which treated Khmer Rouge sources uncritically. He proceeded to testify in Congress denying the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge and took to the pages of the New York Review of Books to defend murderous dictator Pol Pot. Now, the reality of the Khmer Rouge was well-known at the time and evidence of its atrocities were public and accessible to anyone who wished to put evidence and truth above radical politics.

“Open letter” Innocent or illegitimate criticism?
The open letter from the publisher of Haaretz to the international edition of the online newspaper claims to set a new standard for the newspaper’s traditional roles, and unreasonably stretches the cliché “the media is the watchdog of democracy.” Unlike a legitimate opinion article, an open letter is not, which by its nature is intended to motivate an active move by readers.
Raphael Buchnik, News1, 27.05.2014
The Hebrew version is quite innocent, surpassing the miracle of “important journalistic achievements” on a national level as a value promoter to encourage more readers to “join the expanding community of digital readers of the country.” The letter addressed to the readers of the international edition is of a different nature, proactive in nature and not in vain.
Schocken writes: ... “By purchasing an appointment, you will become a partner in an ongoing effort to shape Israel’s face as a liberal and constitutional democracy that respects the values of pluralism and human and civil rights. It will become a partner with active support for a two-state solution and the Palestinians’ right to self-determination, in a way that will allow Israel to remove the burden of territorial occupation and control over another people.”
To read and not believe.
The publisher of Haaretz does not make a serious effort to market his newspaper (the digital edition in this case), but uses the stage in a trending manner to ‘convert’ to his political views using methods that are legitimately doubtful. Moreover, the focus of the message on a predominantly international target audience (Jews and non-Jews alike) is consistent with Haaretz’s consistent course of action through its English edition, which brings out the slander of the Israeli government towards the people and the world.
In other words, Amos Schocken considers himself a campaigner in the full sense of the word, and as the leader of a campaign containing an ideological platform whose purpose is to condense international pressure on Israel in the context of the peace process with the Palestinians. The use of the words “active support” is not a trivial matter, and one can identify in them signs bordering on the call for incitement.
The Haaretz publisher’s open letter therefore claims to set a new standard for the newspaper’s traditional roles, and unreasonably stretches the cliché “the media is the watchdog of democracy.”
Needless to say, Haaretz does not miss an opportunity to blame the Israeli government for its actions, and takes a blatant critical line toward the IDF and the defense establishment while systematically preferring versions of the hostile side of Israel.
The paper seems to be the flagship theme of assimilating the message that there are two “disconnected” entities from each other; The State of Israel, on the one hand, and the Government of Israel, on the other.
The obvious question is whether it is legitimate that what is not achieved at the ballot box will be achieved in ways that are doubtful-democratic?

Haaretz ‘Fabricated’ Story About ‘Settler Attack’ in Hevron -

May 19, 2014
Far-left Israeli newspaper Haaretz has been accused of fabricating an “attack” by Jews celebrating Lag Ba’omer against one of its journalists in Hevron, in an attempt to incite against Jewish residents of the ancient city.
The article claimed that “settlers” celebrating Lag Ba’omer on Saturday night chose to light their customary bonfire in the middle of a “Palestinian olive grove”, and alleged that a group of Jewish celebrants then “assaulted” a Haaretz journalist who was at the scene as he tried to film it. […]
But Arutz Sheva blogger and Canadian indigenous rights activist Ryan Bellerose, who was visiting Hevron as part of a solidarity and fact-finding mission—and happened to be present at the bonfire—expressed his shock at the story, which he said simply never happened.
The event did not take place in an olive orchard of any description—either Jewish or Arab—but rather in a park close to a Jewish-owned house, and officials including police and firemen were present throughout the celebration, Bellerose told Arutz Sheva. …

Ha’aretz reveals its mission has nothing to do with journalism
What is the mission of a newspaper?
May 13, 2014.
One might think that it is to help people stay informed, or to report the day’s events objectively.
The New York Times describes its goal as “to cover the news as impartially as possible ...and to treat readers, news sources, advertisers and others fairly and openly, and to be seen to be doing so.”
Various journalism outlets and professional societies describe their codes of ethics to include truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability.
How about Haaretz? What is its mission?
Here, in a remarkable article where Haaretz is begging for money, we find out:
Two years ago our website, Haaretz.com, introduced its subscription-based readership and many thousands of subscribers signed up. They enjoy full access to all Haaretz content. I want to urge you today to join them and purchase a subscription to Haaretz, Israel’s leading source for news and opinion.
By doing so, you will become a partner in the ongoing effort to shape Israel as a liberal and constitutional democracy that cherishes the values of pluralism and civil and human rights. You will become a partner in actively supporting the two-state solution and the right to Palestinian self-determination, which will enable Israel to rid itself of the burdens of territorial occupation and the control of another people.
Haaretz, which as far as I can tell has no written code of ethics, has here provided a mission statement that has nothing to do with journalism and everything to do with advocacy.
Whether one supports Haaretz’ editorial stance or not, this explicit description of Haaretz as being primarily a political actor should cause anyone to be against supporting it.
Let Haaretz register as an NGO or an Israeli political party, and let it ask for money to support its views. But don’t call it a newspaper.
Judging from this article, Haaretz doesn’t even define itself that way. It is a newsletter for a political organization, one that is begging for more members.

The Nakba according to the Haaretz newspaper
Shlomo Avineri, 04 May 2014
For a long time I have not read such a confused article as the editorial in Haaretz on April 29 (”recognizing the Nakba”): it uses a mixture of correct and just claims, with half-truths and a blatant disregard for several basic historical facts that are not debatable.
On the one hand, the article makes a statement that seems wise and sensitive: “The controversy over Israel’s responsibility for the emigration, deportation and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the War of Independence is a matter for historians” - what could be fairer than that? But one does not have to be a historian to know clearly that in the future there will also be more than one school in this debate, and the proposal to “leave it to historians” is in fact an evasion of dealing - here and now - with undisputed historical truths. Even the cautious language (I refrain from saying “washed”) of this sentence, which speaks of “immigration, deportation and displacement” and refrains from using the word “escape” which was probably part of the complex reality of the War of Independence, already indicates that the article does not exactly leave the decision to historians .
There are some facts in history that should not really be left to historians, and the attempt to ignore them is flawed from the moral aspect - which is, and rightly so, the pulsating spirit behind the editorial. It is a fact - and should not be “left to historians” - that it was Germany that invaded Poland in September 1939 and not the other way around; It is a fact that on December 7, 1941, it was Japan that attacked the United States and not the other way around; The Jew in Israel and later the State of Israel. There is no word on this in the article.
Recognize the Nakba
Thus, in fact, this editorial presents the context of the establishment of the State of Israel in exactly the way it is presented in the Palestinian and Arab political discourse - while ignoring the political and historical reality of the years 1947–1948. Usually the partition decision is simply not mentioned in the Arab discourse, just as the violent opposition to its realization is not mentioned. Perhaps this denial can be understood from the Arab side: but in Haaretz? For those who have forgotten, or do not know, I suggest contacting the newspaper’s archive and reading its headline from November 30, 1947, and the daily reports in the following months, on the manifestations of Arab violence and the beginning of armed Arab resistance to the establishment of Israel - first by Arab militias in Israel. And then through the coordinated invasion of Arab armies with the end of the British Mandate on 15 May 1948. There is not a word about all of this in the article, just as the Arab discourse prefers to simply erase these historical facts from memory.
After the editorial leaves the question of Israel’s responsibility to historians, it goes on to state that “there is no doubt that a national and personal catastrophe befell the Palestinians.” disaster? Was the Nakba an earthquake? Tornado? A tsunami? It was a tragic result of an Arab political decision to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state in part of Mandatory Israel, just as the expulsion of 12 million ethnic Germans from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary after 1945 was a tragic result of German aggression in 1939 and later in 1941, in the invasion of the Soviet Union. Here and there masses of innocent civilians paid the price for the aggression of their leadership: but anyone who tries today in Germany to describe the deportation of millions of Germans from Eastern Europe as a “disaster” unrelated to the aggressive policies of the “Third Reich”.
To the credit of the Palestinian public, it must be said that members of the Palestinian Communist Party, which at the time numbered several hundred members, accepted the partition plan and opposed the Arab aggression, as this was the position of the Soviet Union at the time. Later, some of them joined the MKs, as did members of the Communist parties in Egypt and Iraq, many of whom were imprisoned by the governments of their countries. But all of these were only a handful...
this editorial in Haaretz ... only chose to describe the Palestinians - and not the Jews - as victims who have no responsibility for their actions or the actions of their leaders.
One can certainly understand - even if not justify - the general Palestinian and Arab opposition to the Zionist enterprise: this is the nature of national conflicts, although this opposition had more murderous and terrorist aspects than in other national movements. Palestinian terrorism against Jewish civilians is not a result of the post-1967 years of occupation, but rather accompanies the events of 1936 and the Arab uprising of 1936. However, ignoring this fact and leaving it to the historians is also a distortion of history. It is part of the concrete historical consciousness, both of Jews and of Arabs.
Just as an intelligent discussion of the Arab-Israeli conflict must be freed from the sense of self-righteousness that accompanies part of Zionist ideology, so must it be freed from the sense of sacrifice and absolute justice that accompanies Palestinian nationalism. Even Israeli decisions and policies that had serious consequences in 1948 should not be “left to historians”... The point is that the reality is always complex, and it should indeed be taught in Israeli schools - but not the one-sided Palestinian narrative now adopted by the Haaretz Editorial.

blood libels Haaretz version
The blood libels are alive and kicking, on the pages of the English edition of the newspaper, which insists on being the devil’s advocate and presenting the Jewish state as a criminal against humanity, North Korean version
Menachem Rahat, INN, 26 Adar 2 5744 - 28.03.14
The next two weeks for the better, were considered the most horrific in the lives of Israeli communities in medieval Europe. The blood libels concocted by disgusting anti-Semites against the ‘murderers of God’ reached their peak during this period.
On the eve of the Jewish holiday, the body of a Christian baby was found, which immediately became a justifiable ground for accusing Jews of murdering the baby and opening a wave of riots against them.
We believed in Thomas that the age of atrocities had passed from the world. but no. The blood plot is alive and well, and only changed form. Instead of accusing the Jews of murdering Christian babies, the world blames the Jews, for the murder [as if] of Palestinian children and for the conditions and harassment of a people invented out of nothing. And most serious: the blood libels - which by their dictionary definition are “a false story with antisemitic characteristics” - are invented here in Israel by Satan’s lawyers, for example the Haaretz newspaper (Al-Arad, Bala’az); for example, B’Tselem Palestinian rights activists And the trampling of Jewish human rights.
North Korea in Silwan
The platform will be shorter than demonstrating all the details of the country’s pro-Palestinian propaganda. Here is an example: An article by Prof. Nurit Peled Elchanan, from the Hebrew University: “The Silence of the Sheep in the Academy” (22.2), is intended to convince the reader that the democratic regime in Israel is [as, so she claim] fascist, cruel, oppressive, criminal against humanity. Peled tells English readers, among other things, that in the village of Silwan, located right at the foot of the Old Jerusalem wall, which has become a hotbed of stone-throwing and Molotov cocktails, the worst thing happens: “In Silwan, small children North Korea is here.
These chilling claims were printed without any reservation, without any saying “according to them,” as might be expected from a professional, ethical press. Peled did not bring the source to the horror story. The lie was presented as factual truth.
Haaretz-Bluff
Let us leave for a moment the freedom of choice that the land has taken for itself in spreading this despicable lie, and turn to another claim of the land, that the whole world is against us (Zvi Barel, 10.3.14). It turns out that this is also a gross lie. There has never been such a renaissance in Israel’s international status. Leaders of nations enter and leave here at a dizzying pace, signing economic and scientific agreements for hundreds ...
The “Peresspectiva, Accuracy and Credibility in the Israeli Media” website ... will examine, among other things, Peled’s horror story. Hanan Amior, a peresspectiva researcher, asked her where she drew her convicting information from and was surprised to find that the instigator relied, she claimed, on the B’Tselem report - a far-left anti-Israel extremist organization, also from devil’s advocate. Haaretz established it a factual truth, without any doubt or hesitation, to the report of the far-right movement, Kahana Chai, for example, and published it without examination or reservation.
Thus far the first stage of the blood libel from the house of Haaretz. But Amior was not content with presenting the ‘reliable’ sources of Peled and Haaretz. He went to the report itself and found that they had ‘processed’ and exacerbated its data. This is how international ratings are obtained. As for the beatings, not soldiers but policemen. In short, one big bluff, from the seminary of Haaretz-Bluff.
What is a Palestinian activist?
Anyone who follows ‘Presspectiva’ will find that the industry of lies from House-of-Ha’aretz is working non-stop to cause heavy image damage to Israel in the world. The European or American reader does not have the tools to deal with the lies of Haaretz critically. And when the accusations are translated into English from an Israeli newspaper, a supposed reputable one (no one abroad assumes that this is a serial must), they are perceived as a confession: Here the Israelis themselves acknowledge [supposedly]... their country is the darkest .... What we wanted to prove. No one would imagine that this is the case Considering that this is an Isra-bluff.
Sometimes the newspaper’s impudence and lies rise to incredible heights. Not only do they spread horror stories translated from Hebrew around the world, but they also add another antisemitic touch only in the English edition. The lie industry. For example, a presspectiva (in Gideon Shaviv’s column) revealed that while in the printed newspaper it was reported on February 27: “A Palestinian was killed in the West Bank; IDF: he intended to carry out an attack soon,” the English edition reads. Did he deserve the death penalty? “
The terrorist, who also admitted that he was a terrorist from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and that he barricaded himself in his house and refused to leave, became such an innocent ‘Palestinian activist’ in the English edition, something like a neighborhood activist, a kind of clean-hearted Palestinian. A few days later, Haaretz claimed in another article in Hebrew and English that “the IDF executed the Palestinian activist who refused to surrender himself from scratch.”
The producers of the blood libels from the house of Haaretz, work non-stop. The horrific bluffs designed to blacken the world the face of the only liberal democracy in the region, live and kick all year, with no minimal ethics, over the pages of the despicable campaigner in the service of the enemy, who insists on defining itself as a newspaper.

How satire in “All Lies” trashed the newspaper “Haaretz”
2014-12-24
In the opinion section of the “Haaretz” newspaper, the satire surpasses any reality. At least this is the impression that arises from the following story.
In early February 2014, “Haaretz” took seriously a satirical poster published on the All Lies website, which used Meir Kahane’s character and positions in the Yesha Council’s campaign against the peace initiative of the US Secretary of State, John Kerry.
The original campaign of the Yesha Council included posters with photographs and quotes of consensual Israeli leaders such as Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, Abba Eben and Ariel Sharon, alongside a picture of Kerry. Each poster featured a quote from the Israeli leader which supposedly proves that if he had been alive, he would have opposed for the peace initiative of the American Secretary of State.
The Yesha council did not think of using a controversial figure like [Meir] Kahana in the campaign, but “Haaretz” journalist Niva Lanir actually thought it was reasonable.
In an article by Lanir, published on the editorial page of the newspaper on the ninth of February 2014 under the title “Whoever Speaks of Incitement”, it is claimed that the Yesha Council recruited for the campaign a (true) quote from Kahana...
Lanir’s erroneous assertion was based on a satirical poster condemning the campaign published three weeks earlier on the All Lies website. “Only a person who is filled with hatred towards the settlers can believe that the Yesha Council would publish such an ad,” said Danny Dayan, the former chairman of the Yesha Council, who was the first to comment on Lanir’s error on his Facebook page...
“Haaretz” journalist Niva Lanir, who was quick to state in her article that the Yesha Council was responsible for the satirical poster, had to apologize for the mistake and the newspaper published a correction clarifying that Lanir’s article contained incorrect information.
“I didn’t imagine that there was no possibility that the Yesha Council would use Kahana as part of a campaign,” Lanir told the “Seventh Eye” website. If any of the Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria were hurt by this, I apologize for that. I assume that some of them do not regret it.”

McCarthyism made by Haaretz.
Ben-Dror Yemini, 24/01/14.
One newspaper in Israel called for the dismissal of a lecturer whose opinions are contrary to his own - One newspaper in Israel, the same newspaper, is running a campaign full of lies against the right of management to investigate a student’s complaint
A citizenship teacher, Adam Verta, apparently received the honor no public figure had before him: two editorials in one week. Newspaper readers from around the world who are interested in Israel, and whose language is only English, think that this is the most serious difficult case that is stirring Israel. Another proof of moral decline. Another landmark in the path of fascism and McCarthyism.

Commentator Calls for ‘Funerals in Bnei Brak’ | News 7 - Arutz Sheva
Feb 16, 2014 — Commentator Calls for ‘Funerals in Bnei Brak’
Controversy on Channel 2 as commentator says he wants to see dead soldiers from Bnei Brak.

16.02.14
A Channel 2 commentator has sparked controversy with a call to see “funerals in Bnei Brak.” The commentator, Nechemia Shtrasler, was adamant that he wants to see hareidi men serve – and die – as combat soldiers...
Shtrasler has made similar controversial remarks in the past. Two years ago he wrote a column for Haaretz in which he insisted, “We need to get rid of civilian service and force everyone to serve in the military…. That is the only way to achieve equality and to revitalize Israeli society, and it will happen only when all the hareidi Jews enlist in the IDF and military funerals are held in Bnei Brak and Mea Shearim.”

Bella Hadid spreads lies about Prime Minister Naftali Bennett
The American model who is known for her hatred of Israel is spreading fake news against Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Yonatan Gottlieb, 5 Tammuz 5781. 15.06.21
The American model Bella Hadid, the daughter of a Muslim father who was born in Nazareth and moved to the USA, continues to spread fake news, this time with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in the spotlight.
Hadid uploaded to her Instagram account, which is followed by over 43 million people, a quote Bennett allegedly said in the past. “I have killed a lot of (Hadid lied) Arabs in my life, and there is no problem with that,” he is quoted as saying.
But, this is a false quote that was never said by him. When this statement was attributed to him in 2013 in the Haaretz newspaper, he responded: “For the avoidance of doubt, the words were not said. At the cabinet meeting, I suggested that we stop endangering our soldiers and go out of our way to capture terrorists alive, because then the state releases them anyway. A terrorist who endangers the lives of our soldiers during its operation, it must be eliminated.”

Yesterday it was published in Haaretz newspaper... - Naftali Bennett - Naftali Bennett | Facebook
Yesterday it was published in Haaretz newspaper that I said: “I have killed a lot (as it were) of Arabs in my life, and there is no problem with that” and also “If you catch terrorists, you should just kill them.”
For the avoidance of doubt: the things were not said.
At the government meeting, I suggested that we stop endangering our soldiers and go out of our way to capture terrorists alive, because then the state releases them anyway. A terrorist who endangers the lives of our soldiers during his actions should be eliminated.
Haaretz is allowed to think differently.
I will live with it...

Media Comment: The self-perception of ‘Haaretz’
By Yisrael Medad, Eli Pollak
Published: June 12, 2013
Haaretz, which presents itself as providing “extensive and in-depth coverage,” distributed a letter last week from its publisher Amos Schocken, who wrote: “We have maintained our commitment to provide our readers in Israel and abroad with the most relevant and professional news, opinion and analyses. We have enlisted top-notch reporters, editors and writers and have significantly expanded our unique, English-language coverage.... We have continued to serve, we believe, as an indispensable cornerstone of Israeli liberalism and democracy and to stand firm against shortsighted and often dangerous winds of the day.”
... A few recent examples of the problem with Haaretz, as listed by CAMERA’s local agent Presspectiva, include: • In mid-May, for two consecutive days, the English edition of Haaretz falsely reported that Jewish prayer is permitted on the Temple Mount.
• On March 31, Gideon Levy falsified the number of Gazan Arab deaths during Operation Cast Lead, sourcing it to Amnesty International – which didn’t report it.
• On June 6, a teenage girl who had been raped by Arabs when she was 13 (and who was involved in the recent controversy involving Judge Yeshaya) was erroneously called a “Palestinian” in the English translation, although she is Israeli and Jewish.
• And lastly, the paper had to correct a grievous translation error: it mistakenly reported on April 23 that a judge in the trial of administrative detainee Samer Issawi agreed that the appearance of the prisoner could be compared to that of a Holocaust survivor.
What the judge was shocked about was Issawi’s own claim that he should be compared to a Holocaust survivor.
Despite gross inaccuracies such as these; basing editorial columns on misrepresented data; unreliability and political bias, the paper is still widely quoted by the state-funded public broadcasting radio and television outlets, especially the early morning programs. They in turn rarely, if at all, include the subsequent corrections, thus multiplying the damage to the media consumer.
The German investor group DuMont Schauberg purchased 25% of the paper’s ownership shares in 2006. Has this foreign involvement influenced the paper’s downplaying the issue of European funding for left-wing NGOs? Haaretz serves as a major platform for some of them, even though past experience has shown that too often their information is based on shoddy research and overzealous identification with the subject matter.
In 2011, the paper announced that the former Russian oligarch Leonid Nevzlin, who immigrated to Israel in 2003, had joined Haaretz as a partner, acquiring 20% of the company’s share capital. Is Haaretz still a local paper? In the past few months, Haaretz has experienced growing financial difficulties. Undoubtedly, Shocken’s letter is part of the effort to retain its subscriber base. Last September 23, The Jerusalem Post informed us that Haaretz employees had called a partial work stoppage which shut down the paper for around two hours. Employees were facing layoffs, and demanded answers about their scope.
Some senior staff has left recently, including Akiva Eldar and Doron Rosenblum. Could it be that they were thinking of receiving their pensions while there’s still money around to pay for it? It is not unreasonable to guess that stricter adherence to professional journalistic ethics would contribute to a more solid future for Haaretz.

Pseudo-Research by the Left about “Discrimination”
Pseudo-Research at the IDI about “Discrimination”
By Steven Plaut
I am sure that you all recall the “research” at the Hebrew University from a few years back that claimed to find “evidence” showing that the reason Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women is because the Jews are such racists. That “research” was done by a graduate student, Tal Nitzan, in sociology. Her thesis supervisor was Eyal Ben-Ari. If his name is familiar it was because he was later convicted of raping his own Hebrew University students and was dismissed. I guess he was just trying to prove he was not racist. (see [http://www.isracampus.org.il/third%20level%20pages/HebrewU%20-%20Eyal%20Ben-Ari%20-%20the%20non-rapist.htm])
Well if you enjoy reading about “research” in Israel that derives conclusions that directly contradict the evidence, then you will love the latest “research” coming out of the Israel Democracy Institute or IDI. This is a leftwing “think tank” that promotes the political agenda of Israel’s remaining Left. The new “research” was written by one Tanya Steiner, who is the IDI’s point-gal for churning out “research” about inequality in Israel. Steiner also is the IDI’s promoter of affirmative action programs in Israel. The new “research” in question was supervised by Prof. Mordecai Kremnitzer, who is a senior IDI honcho and also a professor or law at Tel Aviv University ([http://en.idi.org.il/about-idi/idi-staff/management/mordechai-kremnitzer/]).
The new IDI “research” by Steiner (with input from Kremnitzer) concerns the activities of Israel’s Commission on Equal Opportunities in Employment. This is a relatively new regulatory body set up supposedly to promote equality in the workplace. The Commissioner is sent complaints by people who feel they have been victims of discrimination. Steiner’s “research” on the commission appears as a chapter in a propaganda book that has been published by Macmillan called “Palestinians in the Israeli Labor Market.” You will not be surprised to hear that the book has nothing to say about Palestinians in the Israeli Labor Market. Rather it discusses Israeli Arabs in the Israeli labor market. It adopts the now trendy rhetorical invention by Israel’s far Left of referring to Israeli Arabs as Israeli Palestinians. That book also includes chapters written by some of the worst far-leftist Marxist sociologists in Israel.
A Hebrew synopsis of the “research” appears in a report in Haaretz’ Marker today (in Hebrew this is at [themarker.com/career/1.2032423]). The main “finding” of Steiner is that Israel is such a racist and discriminatory place that only 3% of all of the complaints from people claiming to be victims of discrimination come from Israeli Arabs (who are around 18% of the workforce)! Really!
Yes, it turns out that only a tiny proportion of complaints sent to the Commissioner on Equal Opportunity in Employment in 2011 (the year investigated) were submitted by Arabs. A full 46% were sent in by Jewish women, the rest by others (she does not report how many were sent in by Orthodox Jews!). Only three of the complaints received in the entire 2011 year by the commission about alleged discrimination against Arabs were deemed worthy of investigation. Now an ordinary citizen might be tempted to interpret this as a great success for Israel and for Israeli Arabs, where the numbers indicate how rare are cases where there are even allegations of discrimination against Arabs in the workplace.
Ah, but not for the IDI and for Sistuh Steiner. Her “research” concludes that the low numbers just show how hopeless Israeli Arabs regard their dire circumstances, where they do not even think it is worthwhile filing complaints about the massive universal discrimination against them. In short, the absence of complaints about discrimination against Arabs in Israel proves how widespread and awful is discrimination against Arabs.
And so Steiner and Kremnitzer join Nitzan Tal from the rape thesis in the grand new club of pseudo-researchers in Israel who prove their thesis by citing evidence that shows that their thesis is completely bogus.
2. Oh dear, it is getting so complicated to be sensitive and politically correct on Israeli college campuses these days.
Take the University of Haifa (please!). It just became the first university in Israel to decide to shut down for all the holidays of Israel’s non-Jewish minorities. So it will not hold classes or exams on Christian, Moslem, or Druse holidays. The local tenured Left had been pushing for this for years, as well as demanding that Christmas trees be displayed all around the campus in late December and that all signs on all buildings appear not only in Hebrew and English but also in Arabic (never mind that Hebrew and English are the only languages of instruction).
As you can imagine, this creates a number of logistics problems. What happens during Ramadan? Will the campus shut down for a full month while Moslems fast during daylight hours? And remember that Ramadan can fall any time of year because the Islamic calendar is divorced from the solar cycle.
But the really serious problem the University of Haifa will have involves Christmas. The problem is this: which Christmas? For universities in the west where all Christians are Catholic or Protestant, the problem is simple - you make it December 25. But remember that the Christian community in Israel is a dazzlingly diverse crew. And different churches hold Christmas on different days using different calendars. The Russian Orthodox hold Christmas in mid-January and there are plenty of such Russian Orthodox folk in Israel. I think the Greek Orthodox hold theirs on a different date in January and there are also plenty of Greek Orthodox in Israel. Then there are the Copts, the Armenians, the Caucasus Georgians, the Assyrians, and a dizzying list of other traditions, each with their own dates and calendars.
If the University of Haifa ONLY shuts down on December 25, would not all these other groups of Christians have legitimate grievances and sue for discrimination? And if the university shuts down for ALL possible dates of Christmas, the whole semester might as well be cancelled.
And we have not even asked about Kwanzaa. Surely there are “Black Hebrews” in Dimona who celebrate that! And Festivus, for people who watch the Seinfeld show. And how come atheist or pagan holidays do not count? How about the solstices or Wiccan celebrations?
Ah, the dilemmas of the sensitive!

Trashing Israel Daily
by Joshua Muravchik, June/2013
That Haaretz is critical of the government is an old story: “Golda Meir once said that the only government that Haaretz ever supported was the British Mandate,” Remnick wrote. But since the early 1990s, when management of the paper was assumed by Amos Schocken, it has moved further to the left—so much so that it has made itself a liability to the ceaseless struggle for survival of “the land” that its name evokes.
The author of the column exhorting stone-throwing was Haaretz’s leading correspondent in the Palestinian territories, Amira Hass. Her writings, together with those of two other reporter-columnists, Gideon Levy and Akiva Eldar, constitute the paper’s signature. Hass has chosen to make her home among the Palestinians for the better part of two decades; three years in Gaza, the balance in Ramallah. In a profile in the Independent, ...
Every family? Given the hundreds of documented cases of “honor killings”; of murders of alleged “collaborators,” usually without proof; of killings and torture of Fatah members by Hamas and vice versa; given, too, the notorious brutality of the Palestinian security forces; the lionization of suicide bombers and others who take the lives of Israeli civilians; and the mass, spontaneous demonstrations of joy over the news of the September 11 attacks on America—given, in short, the abundant displays of egregious inhumanity, one can only conclude that Hass sees what she wants to see or what her ideological blinders lead her to see. This is not a sound qualification for a journalist.
Unsurprisingly, Hass’s reports have been challenged many times on the facts, often for taking Palestinian accounts at face value and also for twists of her own invention, as in her references to “Jewish-only roads” in the West Bank. There are no “Jewish-only” roads. Due to terrorist attacks, some West Bank roads are restricted to cars with Israeli plates, but these are open to all Israelis including Arabs and other non-Jews. Barring Palestinian vehicles from certain arteries may be harsh, but it is not racist, as Hass wanted readers to believe.
The second of the paper’s trio of columnists, Gideon Levy, boasts that “Noam Chomsky once wrote to me that I was like the early Jewish prophets.” But whereas the prophets’ hallmark was righteousness, and their goal was to summon Israel back to the true path, Levy’s hallmark is self-righteousness, and the Israel he describes is beyond redemption...
Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), has documented numerous factual errors in Levy’s reporting. He tripled the number of Palestinian casualties on one occasion, halved the number of Israeli victims on another, characterized Hezbollah fighters as “civilians” on another, and so on. Late in 2012, Levy embarrassed himself and his newspaper with a story that, in his telling, confirmed his dark take on Israelis. Haaretz carried a page-one headline: “Survey: Most Israeli Jews Support ....
...Hass and Levy are unabashed about their ideological slant; Akiva Eldar, the third of Haaretz’s exemplars, expresses open pride. During the second intifada, the three were taken to task by Nahum Barnea, a columnist for the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, for failing the “lynch test.” That is, Barnea charged that they were unable to condemn Palestinian actions unambiguously, even when Palestinians lynched Israelis, as they had done to two reservists who got lost in Ramallah. He likened their devotion to the Palestinian cause to John Reed’s devotion to Bolshevism, saying their support was “absolute,” adding: “It does not derive from feelings about human rights but instead other motives. Some are prisoners of love of Palestine. Some of their hatred of Zion….They have a mission.”
In an article in the Nation in 2008, Eldar invoked Barnea’s accusation, and rather than deny it, he reveled in it...
When observers call Haaretz “liberal,” they are using that label in an expansive way, as when American journalists apply it to the likes of the unrepentant former Weatherman Bill Ayers....
But Haaretz under Schocken’s direction and exemplified by Hass and Levy and Eldar represents something else again: the Israeli version of what has been called in America the “adversary culture.” In Israel, in addition to Haaretz, it includes also such “new historians” as Ilan Pappé and Avi Shlaim, such advocacy groups as B’Tselem and Breaking the Silence, and such public intellectuals as Uri Avnery, Avraham Burg and Meron Benvenisti. This culture rests on a worldview that finds one’s own country to be the embodiment of all that is wrong and evil...

The Haaretz cartoonist supports anti-Semitism
Gil Kellner, Srugim news, 06.08.13.
Amos Biderman was asked by surfers why the settlers in his paintings have long noses and explained “When I see ... Dov Lior and his ilk, suddenly the anti-Semitic option seems completely sane to me.”
Ha’aretz cartoonist Amos Biederman shows empathy for anti-Semitism.
At the conclusion of a weekly section in which ‘Haaretz’ surfers ask the newspaper’s reporters questions about their work, it was Biderman’s turn to answer and most of the questions dealt with the inspiration for his drawings and the technical manner in which he draws
A surfer named Yossi asked Biederman: “Have you noticed that some of your cartoons are purely anti-Semitic? Settlers will always have a long nose, like the way you draw Elkin.”

The damage of a Haaretz libel | Daniel Frank | The Blogs
Mar 10, 2013
Haaretz is a left wing media outlet that makes its bias and ideology abundantly clear. The paper is very critical of the Israeli government, religious institutions, the IDF and many other integral components of the country. This is supplemented by a very firm stance in support of the Palestinian cause. Although Haaretz is a Zionist publication, there is a large amount of overlap between the criticisms made by the Zionist left and the non-Zionist anti-Israel worldview making its audience a mixture of those who like and dislike Israel (outside of Israel, Haaretz is most popular in Norway and Ireland).
Within Israel, Haaretz is a considered a small and minor newspaper that has a readership of less than 6% of the public. Internationally, Haaretz’s readership is still not at the level of publications such as the Jerusalem Post and Ynet, but it fares much better than it does domestically. However, Haaretz (English edition) manages to be one of the most influential voices of Israel.
Haaretz’s audience includes many journalists and opinion makers from different parts of the world. As a result of this, when Haaretz reports a controversial story, the tone/message/thesis of the original article (by Haaretz) has a huge influence on the type of opinion journalists from abroad will take on that issue. Unfortunately, many stories on Haaretz are over-sensationalized and highly misleading. When these types of articles are displayed, journalists from all over the world are quick to spread the “controversial news” to their local region.
Similarly, when people unfamiliar with Israeli politics read these types of articles, they are quick to absorb the narrative pushed by Haaretz and end up forming a distorted view of what is going on within the country. Depending on how controversial and catchy the headline may seem, many of these readers will forward the column to their friends, twitter accounts and Facebook feeds. Even worse than this are the people who are simply anti-Israel to begin with and come to Haaretz to find ammunition for their criticisms (hatred) of the state.
In the recent months, Haaretz has published a number of articles that were incorrect, highly misleading, inciting and in simple terms, should not have been approved by the editors. The damage done to Israel’s image from these articles has been immense...

Haaretz “Fixes” Misleading Story About Ethiopian Women
by Zach Pontz, Mar 7, 2013.
Haaretz has issued a correction vis-a-vis a report it published five weeks ago that set off a rush to condemn Israel.
The original report accused government officials of injecting Ethiopian women with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera in order to decrease their birth rates...
Only after the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East reporting in America (CAMERA) spotted the misinformation repeated in another article published in Haaretz last week [http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=55&x_article=2411] did the Israeli newspaper fix the article. Remarkably, the Hebrew version of the same article did include the updated information. However Haaretz failed to change it in the language most likely read by its international readers.

Amira Hass’s freedom of incitement
When a Haaretz reporter encourages Palestinians to throw stones, she ignores the deaths of Asher Palmer and his son Jonathan and incites murder
Davidi Ben Zion 3/4/2013
Night. Returning from a cousin’s wedding. The hall had light and dancing, music and serenity. But now sitting in the car on the way back home, close here, a few minutes from the big city, Dad talking quietly with Mom, adult matters, and suddenly boom! The empty one next to me, usually my baby brother sits there. This time he stays home with a babysitter, Miracle. Arriving home.
We snatched a stone again.
“Throwing stones is a right and a duty,” Amira Hass wrote this morning in an article in Haaretz. Ms. Hass, what are you talking about in Gd’s name?
... Asher Palmer and his son remember the blessing, who were killed by a stone that hit their car, nothing will answer to our sorrow, but the punishment of the stone throwers should be aggravated as much as possible.
And Amira Hass, she must pay fairly for her boldness and impudence, but not the prison will be a punishment but a broad protest and disregard from now on for all the nonsense that a pen will emit.

Amira Hass Syndrome
Amira Hass is not as dangerous to the Jews as she is to the Palestinian Arabs. It aroused more hatred and hid the beautiful things that were happening in the country between Jews and Arabs

Not freedom of expression - lawlessness
The nickname of Amira Hass in the Haaretz newspaper “Incitement” would be a mockery of Rash. She has basically cut her self out from the Israeli audience. It is time for the Attorney General to take off his gloves and deal with this treacherous abandonment

Incitement to murder in a newspaper for “thinkers”
A Palestinian conviction for throwing stones at a car and causing the deaths of Asher Palmer and his infant son Yonatan in two murders obliges the law enforcement authorities to refer to an article published by Amira Hass in Haaretz, in which she claimed that stone-throwing by Palestinians is a Palestinian right and duty as incitement. For the murder of Israelis *, the police must summon for publication the publisher Amos Schocken, the editor of the newspaper Alof Ben and Amira Hass * Will the law enforcement authorities face Haaretz?

Israeli journalist is accused of inciting violence after backing Palestinian stone-throwers
Amira Hass receives hate mail for claiming Palestinian schools should teach children how to ‘resist occupation’
Harriet Sherwood Jerusalem
Sat 6 Apr 2013
A prominent Israeli journalist, Amira Hass, has been subjected to a wave of hate mail and calls for prosecution for incitement to violence since writing an article defending the throwing of stones by Palestinian youths at Israeli soldiers.
Hass, who has lived in and reported on the occupied Palestinian territories for 20 years, argued that “throwing stones is the birthright and duty of anyone subject to foreign rule”, and suggested that Palestinian schools should offer “basic classes in resistance”.
The opinion piece, published in the liberal Israeli daily Haaretz, for whom Hass works, drew outraged reaction on the internet and from media commentators...

Amira Hass rises on the Arab network
Mida | 04/04/2013
The Arab media is really enthusiastic about Amira Hass’ columns. Especially when she writes about the right to throw objects at Jews
Palestinian media have shown great enthusiasm in the face of the radical manifesto in which a Haaretz journalist justifies throwing stones in protest against the occupation
In a column published yesterday (3.4) in the newspaper and on the Haaretz website, journalist Amira Hass explained her doctrine of the “right and duty” of Palestinians to throw stones and even increased the suggestion that “in Palestinian schools, students should be given basic classes in resistance.”
The timing of Hass’ provocation was perfect: a day before the publication of her column, a member of the Palestinian security forces was accused of intentionally causing death, after throwing stones at the car of the late Asher Palmer and killing him and his son Jonathan.
It was not long before Hess won a slew of condemnations across the media and social networks, both right and left, and even for a lawsuit filed by the Yesha Council against her and against the editor of the Haaretz newspaper, Aluf Ben.
This is the Israeli side, but there is also an Arab side: Hess’s translated article began to spread like wildfire in the Arab electronic media. The PLO website, which is affiliated with the PLO, was the first to publish an article entitled “Israeli newspaper:” Stone-throwing - mandatory “, with main quotes from Hass’ column. Following this publication, the dam was breached and the news spread to various sites throughout the Arab media, from the sites of the Palestinian news agencies, to the Fatah website, to the Palestinian Al-Yum website affiliated with Islamic Jihad. To the hearts of Arabs around the world: The news crossed borders and also reached Lebanese news sites and the Ba’ath site in Syria.
This is how Hess fulfilled her dream, and became a popular “Arab” heroine for one day.

Demonstration at Ha’aretz Against Amira Hass
Apr 7, 2013
Activists from the Petach Tikva headquarters of the Samaria (Shomron) and Binyamin Residents’ Councils demonstrated, Sunday, at the Tel Aviv offices of the Ha’aretz daily in response to a column by the newspaper’s Amira Hass, in which she called stone throwing “the right and the duty of anyone living under foreign rule”. The demonstrators hung a giant banner on the building which included pictures of infants Yehonatan Palmer, who was killed with his father, when terrorists smashed the windshield of their car in the Kiryat Arba’ area of Judea, and Adelle Biton, who has been sedated and on artificial respiration...

Eichler & Ze’ev Lash Out at Latest Shtrasler Opinion Piece
February 12, 2013
In his latest assault against Torah Jewry, Haaretz columnist Nechemia Shtrasler on Monday 2 Adar 5773 published his latest piece... in which he rips into the chareidi tzibur in Eretz Yisrael.
“The latest derogatory term is ‘white tribe,’ which refers to an amorphous group comprising Jews of Ashkenazi origin who live in north Tel Aviv, who deeply despise the chareidim, in a primal, racist way, despite the innocence of ultra-Orthodox Jews. After all, the chareidim are good, moderate, tolerant and loving people, whose only desire is to live quietly near secular Jews without imposing anything on them. It’s the “white tribe” that comes and causes an unnecessary commotion, trying to exclude and humiliate the chareidim just because they are black.”

“Haaretz” lies in English and defames Israel in the world
My Israel, Jan 16, 2013
On Saturday, the High Court issued a restraining order to evacuate the Palestinian outpost between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim. The Attorney General appeared in the High Court, explained the state’s considerations and * after * the security consideration was clarified and the High Court agreed, the outpost was evacuated.
In Haaretz in Hebrew they did not mention this and in the English version they simply lied (and not for the first time). According to an article in an English newspaper (and on the website), the eviction was made * despite * a court restraining order.
