A pleasant change of pace to see a ceasefire in Lebanon...but since the war in Gaza continues - and looks like it will continue into the New Year - the State of Israel carries on a policy of expansion unhindered by Western media. Not many news agencies in Israel are prepared to shine a light on their government's policies, either, although Haaretz is a shining example of the Democratic right to tell truth to power.
An op-ed in the Guardian by the editor-in-chief, Aluf Benn, is well worth a read, partly to explain how growing censorship throughout the world tries to hide these increasingly repressive right-wing governments...and partly as a rebuttal to the ridiculous accusations of anti-semitism and racism in this forum.
Almost always alone, Haaretz has been reporting for decades on the suffering of Palestinians under Israeli occupation and on what the IDF considers the “collateral damage” of fighting terrorism. Time and again, the newspaper has been castigated for criticising the morality of IDF actions. Readers have cancelled their subscriptions, and politicians rallied against us. But we never budged. When you see war crimes, you must speak out while the war is raging, rather than wait until it’s too late to make a difference. The 7 October war is no different: alone again, we report on the other side of the conflict, despite the difficulty of accessing sources in Gaza or Lebanon, while also embedding our reporters with the IDF like other media.
Netanyahu has never liked our critical stance towards him and his policy of occupation and annexation, calling Haaretz and the New York Times “the greatest enemies of Israel” in 2012 (though he later denied it ). Having built his career on media manipulation, Netanyahu can’t stand independent, critical voices. In the previous decade, his abuse of state power to twist media coverage, exposed by Haaretz in 2015, led Netanyahu to the dock in a still-pending criminal corruption trial. But even after his indictment, he only changed the tactics, not the strategy, borrowing from the successful playbook of his Hungarian friend and mentor Viktor Orbán: attack the mainstream media as hostile, have your billionaire supporters launch supportive channels, build a “poison machine” to unite your base across social networks. Over time, the mainstream would shift its stance, adding the leader’s mouthpieces to primetime panels, fearing the loss of viewers to the no-holds-barred Channel 14, Israel’s Fox-on-steroids.
Netanyahu's boycott of Haaretz - passed unanimously in the Knesset - will not prevent them revealing the truth about this extremist regime, and ensuring, in time, justice will prevail.

Nice of the israelis to murder more civilians in Beirut in their biggest air strike yet hours before they knew the ceasefire would come into effect...
Just to make a point that they will go ahead with whatever they want to do at any time!
