Hatred, abysmal hatred woven into one of the articles of hatred for Israel, to the point of recommending its abolition as the Jewish state and its establishment as a single state for Jews and Palestinians. And as is customary in our places, the hate letter was written by an American Jew, Peter Bainart, one of the most prominent of the Jewish-progressive sector, the extreme left sector whose criticism of Israel is without limits, and sometimes even without limits. Bainart is one of the most prominent Jewish intellectuals in the United States. His education is broad and deep, and he serves as a professor of journalism in the state of New York. Bainart publishes opinion pieces in the New York Times, known for his critical attitude toward Israel The newspaper's "senior commentator" However, it seems that after only a few articles were published, Bainart's connection with the Israeli newspaper was canceled.
The GSS was also interested in Bainart's views. When he was about to enter Israel years ago, he was arrested by security personnel, and according to reports, he was questioned about his connections with left-wing bodies. Bainart's delay at Ben Gurion Airport was a serious malfunction.
During Netanyahu's tenure, the prime minister's office apologized for Bainart's interrogation, which was defined as an "administrative malfunction."
It can be said that over the years Bainart has officered his critique of Israeli policy, especially the settlements.
But not only.
It challenges the very structure of Israel's regime.
He calls for radical change: Israel, in his opinion, should be a state in which Jews and Palestinians will live together and in full equality.
This seems to be the reason why he calls on Israel to open its gates, and to allow the Palestinians to exercise their "right of return."
And these days, he has, as mentioned, officered his criticism of Israel, to the point of making a statement that could be interpreted as drawing a comparison, or even a resemblance, between Iran and Israel.
A US public organization called Honest Reporting, which monitors distortions of Israel in the American media, attached a harsh interpretation to Bainart's latest article, which was published a few days ago in the New York Times.
Subject of the article: The nuclear policy of Iran and Israel.
The author calls on the United States and Israel to begin revealing the truth about Israel's nuclear missiles. Bainart dwarfs Iran's nuclear threat to Israel, and does not point out that Iran is the one threatening to destroy Israel. often.
Bainart's advice for dwarfing the severity of the threat was, he said, intended to advance the demilitarization of the Middle East from nuclear weapons. And the difficulty, he said, is that Israel has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Iran does not allow its facilities to be monitored. It seems that the mention of the nuclear issue as a section in the overall critique of Israel, the fruit of Bainart's views, is a novelty. After all, Israeli critics of American Jewry focus on the issue of settlements as the root of all evil. Netanyahu's years as prime minister were a convenient platform for Bainart to write his critiques.
