Haaretz columnist Rogel Alpher compares fallen IDF soldiers to suicide bombers

Rogel Alpher continues to troll Jews. There is no way he actually believes this stuff; he just wants to get people outraged at him so he can keep his job at Haaretz. The version of “El Maleh Rahamim” sung in official state ceremonies on Memorial Day is a jihadist text that turns fallen Israeli soldiers into shahids.

Haaretz op-ed calls to boycott Maccabiah Games as "racist" - even though Arabs participate

Rogel Alpher writes in Haaretz: The 20th Maccabiah Games, which opens July 4, is a racist and ultranationalist event that violates the spirit of the Olympics.

On Tuesday, we will be going to the polls and feeling like idiots. None of Israel’s pressing problems...

Rogel Alpher writes what may be the dumbest Haaretz column ever

Look at that hair! This may not be the most offensive Haaretz column ever written, but it very possibly is the most idiotic. From Rogel Alpher in Haaretz: I saw you during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in Congress, Elie Wiesel. You were there, in the gallery, next to Sara Netanyahu. Your appearance was impressive and powerful, leaving its mark on everyone...
