A Matched Set: Disturbing Analysis of Olmert’s Retreat Plan …

Ha’aretz English Edition Fails to Run Shavit’s 2nd Article Against Retreat Plan, by Dr. Aaron Lerner

Excerpts;

Ari Shavit’s March 14 article, “Olmert’s arrogance”, (repeated below), is probably the most eloquent – and disturbing – attack by any Israeli against Acting PM Olmert’s retreat plan.

So when Shavit’s column in the Friday 24 March Hebrew edition of Haaretz carried a follow-up debate between Shavit and Haim Ramon, it was only natural to expect the folks in charge of the English edition to dutifully translate and publish the article – even if
it provided strong ammunition against their own support for retreat to the ’67 lines.

But instead of running the article so that those who don’t read Hebrew could also be exposed to possibly the most interesting debate of the election campaign, the English edition ran an old piece from earlier this week.
