Jeremiah Haber reports rumors that Haaretz has fired Amira Hass, who was on sabbatical, and Meron Rapoport. Haber finds the Rapoport rumor more troubling, as he was filing such fine reports from the Occupied Territories. If this is true, it is desperately sad, and would seem to reflect the tremendous pressure Haaretz is under now that it has become a global tribune for the left on human-rights abuses in Israel and Palestine, at a time when the Israeli leadership is surely feeling garrisoned and afraid, and has banished Norman Finkelstein.
Say it aint so, David Landau…
