If you look at today’s english haaretz online, you’ll see something equally obnoxious: “British Jews must speak out against Ken Livingstone,” by D D Guttenplan, who is the London correspondent of the US leftist magazine, ‘The Nation,’ and has just published a biography of I F Stone, thus presumably scoring further leftist kudos points. Various achingly moderate British Jewish ‘leaders’ have accused cantankerous Ken of, among other things, “seeking to align himself with the politics of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Iranian regime, turning a blind eye to Islamist antisemitism, misogynism and homophobia, demonisation of Zionism, the derogatory use of the word Zionist, and use of antisemitic memes.”

“According to the writer’s logic, Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert must thus also be “anti-Israel” for pointing out that Israeli policies conflict with democratic behavior.”

Sometimes it is almost amusing to see how easily one can obtain a tag of traitor in Israel. For example, the current government decided at some point to move electricity production to the jurisdiction of the Rabbinate which would improve air quality in ultra-Haredi settlements were inhabitants were running diesel generators on Saturday to avoid non-kosher electricity from the public net. There were many thousands of letters written in the opposition to that idea and the plan was abandoned. A letter to Arutz Sheva summarized: once again the government betrayed the Jewish people.

IMHO the plan was moronic because the ultras who want kosher electricity do not recognize the authority of the Rabbinate on Halacha.

I must confess that I did not grasp any ideological difference between Arutz Sheva and Jerusalem Post. For the lack of a better word I would call both outfits fascist (recall Mediterranean origin of Italian fascism and concepts like spazio vitale).

I’ll know it’s the One State Solution when Larry Derfner is editor of the JPOST

i enjoyed the article very much Mairav but i have to agree with mikesailor. it never occurred to me anyone thought the jerusalem post was anything but conservative and rightwing. occasionally there might be an op ed that isn’t but for the most part it’s got glick’s branding all over it.

He is proud of being anti-Palestinian. On the Israeli right, it’s “pro-Palestinian” that’s a dirty name.

What if someone calls an article calling JPost’s editor anti-Palestinian?
