• 'Forward's ad director says he's chosen not to visit Israel because it's gone 'so far afield'
  • saritalr September 13, 2011 at 2:25 pm

    agreed.

    Kathleen - I was listening to the DR show yesterday (although not keeping up with this thread) and heard you (or someone else) mention Mondoweiss. Wonderful job!!! You spoke clearly and I hope some listeners were able to discover this site as a result. Bravo for all your hard work.

    And of course, triple bravo for Lucas - Tufts University has a lot to be proud of. You were brave, well spoken and proactive. We can all learn from you.

• Well who does he remind you of?

    A local VA area paper is publishing columns by Helen Thomas - the first one just appeared today. Unfortunately the comment section is being overrun by negative comments.

• At scene of gasing, journalist Goldman discredited IDF, Ynet and NYT (which wasn't there)

    I'd never actually seen the idfspokesperson twitter account. Sad. The account just posted some "photo evidence" of the violence at the "Bil'in Riot"

• NPR ombud says Israel lobby was 'successful' in changing coverage
  • saritalr September 27, 2010 at 10:45 am with 1 replies

    Is there any coordinated effort to communicate our dissatisfaction with NPR's coverage? I participate in feedback surveys as often as possible - and always mention Scott Simon's intolerable approach to "journalism" when it comes to Israel.

    But maybe there is a preexisting coordinated effort I'm missing?

• 'Why did you lie to security about going to Bil'in?'
  • saritalr August 16, 2010 at 1:51 pm

    Interesting read. The one thing I came away with after travelling across the Allenby is that you should _always_ lie. I didn't ,(I was heading to the WB for a wedding) and ended up in the interrogation room for hours. [Amongst other things, they wanted to know if I'd been a member of any human rights organizations in college...]

    After reading your piece, I think next time I'll ship anything potentially political, throw in a bible, and talk about visiting the holy land of Israel.

• In an effort to combat BDS, the JCRC doubles down on the occupation
  • saritalr July 21, 2010 at 12:19 pm

    Eh? I'm not sure the conspiracy theory approach is helpful here.

  • saritalr July 21, 2010 at 12:13 pm

    I've done the same thing

    Dear Ulta -
    I wanted to send you an quick note to say that I do not support Ulta stores carrying Ahava products. I used to shop at Ulta, both in Charlotte NC and Silver Spring MD. However, I have stopped making purchases at your company, and will not shop there again until the Ahava products are removed from the shelves. Ahava products are made in the illegal West Bank settlement of Mitzpe Shalem. Please stop supporting Israeli abuses.

• Dan Schorr continues to shade his liberal legacy with unreconstructed Zionism
  • saritalr June 8, 2010 at 3:42 pm

    Is it fair to assume that Schorr was talking about the world's reaction to Israel, not Israel's reaction to Gaza?

    I wouldn't normally have questioned the perceived pro-Israel bias. But a friend of a friend works for the show and has previously mentioned that Schorr is definitely skeptical of typical Zionist propaganda. Scott Simon on the other hand is all IDF all the time. He's arguably the most blatantly pro-Israel/anti-Arab host on NPR.
