| Dr. Guy Bechor Says Israel is Under ‘Media Occupation' |
| 2018-09-27 |
| There is a World out there outside SCOTUS conformation hearings - a strangely familiar World Noted Middle East expert and commentator Dr. Guy Bechor accuses Israel’s media of turning itself into an "occupying force" within Israel and behaving like an unelected, yet all-powerful, political machine. In an article entitled "Down with the Occupation" that appears on his Hebrew-language website, Dr. Bechor ‐ one of Israel’s top experts on Middle Eastern affairs and a popular lecturer and interviewee ‐ identifies a process that he says began after 2000. "With the collapse of the Left in Israel’s political system... and the tremendous disappointment from the ’peace process’," he says, "a strange process began gathering force in Israel’s media, which was, to begin with, a closed club numbering about 20 movers and shakers. Strange as it may sound, this media, which is supposed to cover events and report them, took a step forward and took upon itself to represent the Left which had collapsed in the Israeli populace. It became a political party." |
