The ministries of the interior, education, and Diaspora affairs cut ties with the Haaretz newspaper Thursday, while the communications minister proposed a boycott covering all government bodies, after publisher Amos Schocken told a conference that Israel is imposing an “apartheid regime” on the Palestinians and referred to “Palestinian freedom fighters that Israel calls terrorists.”

    Now the Israeli centre-left is the enemy. Fascism is a death cult. If left unchecked, this will go on until they self destruct.

      TBH Haaretz has done some decent coverage of zionist terrorism. And the zios have a long record of violently attacking those who dissent from genocide.

      So not much surprise here.

      Me too. Haaretz’s reporting on this war and its effects on Israel has been pretty good so far but they’ve also matched Israeli propaganda a few times so this came out of left field for me. Anyone with more knowledge of Israeli internal affairs with any idea what’s going on here?

        Haaretz publishes stories from all sides.

        Their front page will contain both Gideon Levy bashing Israel and some guy advocating to nuke Iran.

      I’m surprised, they don’t ban them already.

      The only democracy in the Middle East.

    This came out of what Haaretz’es publisher said at a conference in London. Not out of something published in the paper.
