‘THE NEW YORK TIMES MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE’: Attorney Yifa Segal, director of the International Legal Forum (ILF), spoke with Israeli media sources about the NY Times’ recent publication of an op-ed piece by arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, sitting in Israeli jail for numerous acts of murder. Segal blasted the paper for its terrible lapse in moral judgment by allowing the publication of the piece. I read Barghouti’s op-ed in the New York Times this week and I have to tell you that I was completely appalled by what he says there, but it was not surprising, because every stage you give him he will use to spread his propaganda, lies and hatred. I think the New York Times made a terrible mistake in permitting him to do so. It’s a choice by the editors to allow this person, who is sitting in jail for numerous murders and is possibly the worst terrorist that we know of, to spread his propaganda and lies in their newspaper, and they are giving him legitimacy by giving him an op-ed.” (INN)
