In the previous post you could read how I regularly would look at what the Jerusalem Post had to offer for daily news. But since the Hamas attack in Israel and the war it started, the newspaper connection with the world is often interrupted by internet cyberattacks by Hamas.
The right-wing Israeli Israeli newspaper “
The Jerusalem Post” wants to provide both breaking news and insightful analysis so people can stay connected to Israel wherever they are.
Though I often do not agree with her opinion I still find it an interesting news source. Though they dare to ask questions like:
“What is your opinion on the ‘price tag’ actions carried out by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank in response to the terrorist attack that resulted in the death of four Israelis?”
Them publishing a short-lived Twitter poll asking if readers condoned terrorist settler attacks against Palestinians, caused outrage and growing calls for editor Avi Mayer to resign. But I can imagine that even among right-wing Israelis some of the actions of the ultra-right orthodox Jews and settlers can be a thorn in their side.
The term ‘price tag’, was coined by Jewish extremist settlers in the last decade to refer to orchestrated and indiscriminate settler revenge attacks on Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories.
The unauthorised taking of land from anyone who can never be allowed to do so. Believers but also decent journalists should bring this out in the open and oppose such actions, whatever their mindset or faith.
‘Price tag’ attacks had often been employed as a show of force to deter the Israeli government from taking any action over unauthorised settlement expansion.
Before the poll was taken down, 197 readers responded to the poll – though the results were never published.
After taking the poll down, the Jerusalem Post issued a retraction.
“A short time ago, we tweeted a poll that was in poor taste. That tweet has been deleted as it did not meet our editorial standards”
“This paper has consistently rejected and repeatedly condemned vigilante attacks on innocent Palestinians and will continue to do so,” claimed the outlet.
“We’ll be back soon and will continue to be the top source of information on Operation Swords of Iron and the murderous attacks by Hamas,”
it further said. As Israel reeled from a deadly attack by Hamas militants who broke through barriers around Gaza and roamed at will, killing scores of civilians in Israeli towns, defence chiefs faced growing questions over how the disaster could have happened.
Israel’s civilian response to the October 7 massacre is linked to populism undermining the professional civil service. For our long-term future, this must be radically changed. #Israel | #October7massacre
