Will the NYT start noting the violent pasts of Israeli contributors, too?
There was much uproar from the Israeli government and its supporters following the publication of a Marwan Barghouti op-ed in the New York Times. But where was the outcry when the paper published op-eds by Israelis with violent pasts? On Sunday the New York Times published an op-ed by Marwan Barghouti, a Palestinian leader who has been…

Marwan Barghouti’s supporters should acknowledge his past

Let’s fight women’s oppression without demonizing ultra-Orthodox
The struggle against women’s oppression is one thing, but painting an entire group as barbarians in the name of ‘enlightened’ ideas is another thing. One can argue over whether asking a woman to move seats so that an ultra-Orthodox man does not have to sit beside her is a legitimate request. Clearly, the trend to remove…
