Former Jerusalem Post Columnist Discusses Why He Was Forced Out of the Paper & the Israeli Media’s Shift to the Right



----------------------------------------------------------------------
Professor David Newman wrote for the Post for six years before being forced out. He talks about his recent departure and the latest attacks in Gaza on Palestinians. Israeli forces killed a 65-year-old Palestinian and wounded 20 others in a failed attempt to assassinate three members of Hamas in Gaza. Four children were among the injured including an eight year old who remains in critical condition. The BBC reported it was the third strike on Hamas in the last five days.
Israel has threatened to quote “liquidate” all members of Hamas following last week’s bus bombing that killed 21 in Jerusalem.

1. Can you give me a quick run-down on what he said?

My comp is limping along and won't play any audio clips. I'd be interested to know what he said about the Israeli media's shift to the right. It's to be expected that some sections of the media would do that if they're not already there as they tend to take a similar line to the owners views and most of the mainstream media is owned by mega-wealthy tycoons who were either on the Right or drifted there a long time ago...
