Ha’aretz Double Standard: Ir Amim V. Elad
Today’s Ha’aretz brings another example of the newspaper’s double standard in identifying various organizations. The article, about a High Court ruling concerning the Elad organization’s operation of the City of David national park in Jerusalem, states:
The court made the ruling at yesterday’s hearing of a petition by the Jerusalem organization Ir Amim and others against the running of the park by Elad, which is identified with the right wing.
While Elad is identified with the right wing, Ir Amim is completely non-partisan? Hardly.
