1. THIS IS THE RESULT WHEN HISTORY REMAINS CLASSIFIED!
FO ,   Belgium   (04.19.17)
This is the result when even a journalist has no idea of the history of its own country. What was the struggle of the Irgun and the Lehi against the British all about, Ravit Hecht? I suppose you have not the slightest idea. The British got a Mandate from the League of Nations (1922) and a Mandate is a TRUST! But they breached the League's decisions, to prevent the Jewish people to get their independent state in Palestine. With their White Papers they blocked Jewish immigration by imposing a maritime blockade on the shore, playing De Facto the collaborator of Hitler, preventing Jews fleeing Europe for their life to enter Palestine. But in your opinion, this wasn't enough as a reason to fight the British as did the Irgun and the Lehi. Let the readers appreciate!!!
2. Then I compare Haaretz with the "Stuermer"

and other anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli and anti-Democratic media.

Ravit Hecht is journalistic scum and must be outlawed. The Haaretz is a supporter of the Falastinian cause, is a supporter of the anti-Semitic BDS and against our liberal democracy.
3. HaAretz has only one direction: downward! Abomination on our

"Information scene". "Der Sturmer" seems like a sister publication.
4. freedom fighters or terrorists?

Good that somebody had the courage to make this comparison.
Violently resisting occupation may not be the best way to get rid of it - but in the time of the British Mandate, and now in the West Bank, as in other places in the world, some people did and do think this is legitimate.
Some of these people indeed went on to become respected political leaders in their countries. So maybe we should give Barghouti the benefit of the doubt
