Why Anti-Semites Love Haaretz: Gadi Taub (Part 5)

In this video interview conducted by Pamela Paresky, Gadi Taub criticizes Haaretz for its anti-Zionist stance, particularly regarding its publisher’s public support for Palestinian militants and calls for sanctions against Israel. Haaretz is described as providing a platform for postcolonial critique that undermines Zionism, particularly in its literary sections. Taub discusses the political climate change following the judicial reform’s defeat, which amplified progressive views that challenge the traditional Zionist narrative.

He highlights the controversy around financial support for Haaretz by the Israeli government, especially given its perceived anti-Israel rhetoric and its impact on public opinion domestically and internationally. 00:00 The Call for Sanctions Against Israel 02:52 The Role of Media in Shaping Narratives 05:46 The Clash of Narratives in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
