Netanyahu’s corruption: how Israeli journalists project Israel’s crimes onto Palestinians
IN AN article published in al-Monitor without a single verifiable citation, Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar went to unprecedented lengths to divert attention from the corruption in his country.
He spoke of Palestinian journalists, all speaking on condition of anonymity, who “applauded” and “admired” Israeli media coverage of corruption scandals surrounding the country’s right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Eldar’s approach is underhand and journalistically unsound.
