  • Israeli Media Self-Censorship During the Second Lebanon War
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 18, No. 2, 2019 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Sagi Elbaz & Daniel Bar-Tal Voluntary silence: Israeli media self-censorship during the Second Lebanon War Kurzfassung: Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Charakteristika der Selbstzensur im Allgemeinen, und insbesondere in den Massenmedien, im Hinblick auf Erzählungen von politischer Gewalt, einschließlich Motivation und Auswirkungen von Selbstzensur. Es präsentiert zunächst eine breite theoretische Konzeptualisierung der Selbstzensur und konzentriert sich dann auf seine mediale Praxis. Als Fallstudie wurde die Darstellung des Zweiten Libanonkrieges in den israelischen Medien untersucht. Um Selbstzensur als einen der Gründe für die Dominanz hegemonialer Erzählungen in den Medien zu untersuchen, führten die Autoren Inhaltsanalysen und Tiefeninterviews mit ehemaligen und aktuellen Journalisten durch. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen zeigen, dass israelische Journalisten die Selbstzensur weitverbreitet einsetzen, ihre Motivation, sie zu praktizieren, und die Auswirkungen ihrer Anwendung auf die Gesellschaft. Abstract: This article describes the characteristics of self-censorship in general, specifically in mass media, with regard to narratives of political violence, including motivations for and effects of practicing self-censorship. It first presents a broad theoretical conceptualization of self-censorship, and then focuses on its practice in media. The case study examined the representation of The Second Lebanon War in the Israeli national media. The authors carried out content analysis and in-depth interviews with former and current journalists in order to investigate one of the reasons for the dominance of the hegemonic narrative in the media – namely, self-censorship. Indeed, the analysis revealed widespread use of self-censorship by Israeli journalists, their motivations for practicing it, and the effects of its use on the society.

Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators.

BETWEEN Mitchell Goldhar Plaintiff (Respondent) and Haaretz.com, Haaretz Daily Newspaper Ltd., Haaretz Group, Haaretz.Co.ll, Shiomi Barzel and David Marouani Defendants (Appellants) Paul Schabas and Emily Bala, for the appellants William McDowell, Ren Bucholz and Julian Porter, Q.C., for the respondent Heard: November 10, 2015 On appeal from the order of Justice Mario D. Faieta of the Superior Court of Justice, dated March 6, 2015, with reasons reported at 2015 ONSC 1128, 125 O.R. (3d) 619. Simmons J.A.: I. INTRODUCTION [1] The issues on appeal concern whether an internet libel action, based on a newspaper article uploaded in Israel, can and should proceed in Ontario. Page: 2 [2] In November 2011, an Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, published an article criticizing the management practices of Mitchell Goldhar, the owner of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club, a soccer team based in Tel Aviv, that plays in the Israeli Premier League. [3] Goldhar is a prominent Canadian businessman and lives in Toronto. [4] In addition to being published in print, the article was available on the newspaper’s Hebrew and English-language websites. It came to the attention of some Canadian readers through the English-language website. [5] The article asserted that Goldhar imported his management model from his main business interest — a partnership with Walmart to operate shopping centers in Canada — and that he “runs his club down to every detail.” It also included a suggestion that his “managerial culture is based on overconcentration bordering on megalomania” and questioned whether “his penny pinching and lack of long term planning [could] doom the [soccer] team.” [6] In December 2011, Goldhar launched an action in Ontario, claiming damages for libel against Haaretz, its sports editor and the reporter who wrote the article (collectively “Haaretz”).
