An attorney for Elliott Broidy told JNS that “Haaretz” must be accountable for “its disregard of the truth.”
The newspaper’s Gideon Levy described IDF Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth using the Nazi-era term “oberkommandant.”
Publisher Amos Schocken labeled OC Central Command Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth a “war criminal,” writing on X that “The Hague must arrest him.”
“The municipality will not allow false incitement against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, certainly in times of war,” said Arad Mayor Yair Maayan.
“These are malicious falsehoods designed to defame the IDF, the most moral military in the world,” the Israeli prime minister and defense minister stated.
On Nov. 24, 2024, Israel’s Cabinet voted to stop all business with the left-wing daily in light of its hostile stance toward the Jewish state.
The veteran investigative journalist and columnist said he knew nothing about Iran apologist Jason Hinkle, who has nearly 3 million followers.
Caroline Glick, Netanyahu’s international affairs adviser, actually “sought to explore the possibility of lifting the sanctions imposed on Israeli technology companies,” the PMO said.
The Cabinet move came in response to “numerous articles that harmed the legitimacy of the State of Israel in the world and its right to self-defense.”
The Israeli daily has reportedly taken a hit to its bottom line as subscribers vote with their feet in protest against the publisher’s anti-Israel remarks.
The move came after Amos Schocken, the publisher of the Haaretz daily, called Hamas terrorists “freedom fighters” and called for sanctions.
Amos Schocken’s words “arouse disgust and indicate a severe disconnect from fundamental values,” said the ministry’s director-general.
