When Gideon Levy represents the "Israeli side" in an international conference... oy. #Med22

Italy's Foreign Ministry sponsored the 8th annual Mediterranean Dialogues conference this past weekend.A wide variety of topics were discussed over the two days, and naturally there was a session on Israel/Palestinian issues.Here were the panelists:Yes, a panel on Israel/Palestinian peace without anyone who is the slightest bit pro-Israel, where a rabid critic of Israel represents...

Israel sentences Palestinian student to prison. Usual suspects defend her. But is she innocent?

There are petitions with 15,000 signatures to free Mays Abu Ghosh from prison: She was sentenced to 16 months in prison this week. What were the charges against her? Haaretz' Gideon Levy co-wrote (with Alex Levac) a sarcastic article making fun of the idea that she is anything but an innocent lamb, so let's see if we can translate his spin into truth: Mohammed Abu Ghosh...

Gideon Levy builds an entire anti-Israel article in Haaretz around a fake quote

The execrable Gideon Levy, writing in Haaretz, proves yet again that he is not a journalist but an anti-Israel hack. He wrote a loving obituary to Denis Goldberg, a long time fighter against South African apartheid. But the entire article is centered around a single quote, and the rest of the article is filler: A Jewish hero died on Independence Day, with his death unmarked here. Denis Goldberg died in Cape Town, the city he was born in,...

Why are Roger Waters, Gideon Levy and Joseph Massad afraid of having their words recorded?

In May, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and IRmep will be holding an all-star Israel-bashing seminar at the National Press Club in Washington. Speakers include Haaretz' Gideon Levy, Columbia University's Joseph Massad, "The Israel Lobby"'s Stephen Walt, and washed up 1970s rock star Roger Waters. Those who attend have to adhere to some interesting rules: Only...

Elder gets results, sort of (Haaretz edition)

In September, Haaretz' Gideon Levy and Alex Levac wrote an article saying that Israel was uprooting "hundreds" of olive trees, right before harvest! Levac took a photo of one of them. Note the caption. Regavim told me the entire story was bogus, and the trees that were uprooted were acacia saligna (coojong.)The acacias are a pest plant, hat spread quickly, planted...

Gideon Levy loses a debate at Oxford, so he calls the Oxford Union racist

Just another example of the sterling quality of Haaretz' columnists. From Gideon Levy: The Oxford Union’s Thursday Debate discusses the Middle East a great deal, certainly more than any Israeli student union does. Just over a week ago, a proposal was raised at this venerable and prestigious student organization that the two-state solution is no longer viable. It wasn’t...

Book Review: "Catch the Jew"

I mentioned recently that I was reading Tuvia Tenenbom's "Catch the Jew" and that it was great. Tenenbom, who grew up Haredi in Bnei Brak and left Judaism and Israel, returned to Israel to write this book of his impressions as he met people around the country.. He goes where the wind (and his stomach) takes him, usually playing a German journalist, asking innocent and...
