Ronen Bergman’s profile of Mossad agent Sylvia Rafael is breathtaking in its immorality and dishonesty.

Here we go again. The New York Times just ran a long, gee-whiz article about an Israeli war crime — the murder of an Iranian scientist inside Iran last year– penned by its Israeli security expert, Ronen Bergman, who has bragged about making appearances for the Israel lobby organization AIPAC and thanked AIPAC for having Israel’s back in the U.S.

The New York Times says presumed Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facility reflects “yearslong shadow war between Iran and Israel,” but almost all hostility has come from Israel in a transparent effort to scuttle the Iran deal. And the New York Times has only obliquely addressed Israel’s motivation in the attack.

New York Times obit for an Israeli spy, Isaac Shoshan, is a list of grievous acts of violence for Israel, mythologized, typically, by Israeli reporter Ronen Bergman. There is absolutely no discussion of Why Shoshan’s targets would be upset with Israel. And Bergman insists that Shoshan was not an Arab but pretended to be one, when he was from Syria and spoke Arabic, which means he was Arab.

Ronen Bergman’s book on Israeli killings delights in security sources’ calling Palestinian targets “bugs” and “sewage.” And he travels the US for the Israel lobby group AIPAC. Maybe he shouldn’t report on the assassination in Iran for New York Times?

The New York Times is publishing a misleading report on its front page that further raises the risk that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu could provoke a conflict with Iran during the Trump administration’s final 66 days.

Forty years ago, Israel used assassinations, sabotage, and targeted strikes to set back Iraq’s nuclear program. Today it is following a similar playbook in Iran.

NYT regrets running Sen. Cotton’s call for military crackdown on protest. It should do the same for 4 op-eds justifying Israel killing nonviolent demonstrators. But Bari Weiss’s role at newspaper reflects long attachment to Zionism at NYT.

A New York Times report on Mossad, the Israeli spy service, that could have been written by the agency’s own publicity department. Ronen Bergman’s article, featured prominently on page 6 of the print edition, contends that Mossad has been indispensable in Israel’s fight against the coronavirus, that it has been “one of the country’s most valuable assets in acquiring medical equipment and manufacturing technology abroad.”

In Israel, the military is by far the most trusted institution. And though it terrorizes Palestinians daily, the fealty it gets from Jewish Israeli society serves as a shield against taking it to account.
