Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Critic of Settlements Attacked in Pipe Bombing

HeadlineSep 26, 2008

Meanwhile, in Israel, an Israeli historian known for his criticism of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has been targeted in a bombing attack. Zeev Sternhell was lightly injured when a pipe bomb exploded at his Jerusalem home. Israeli police say they’re investigating right-wing settler groups. Fliers found near Sternhell’s home were said to offer hundreds of thousands of dollars for killing members of Peace Now, an Israeli group also critical of the settlements. Born in 1935 in Poland, Sternhell survived the Nazi Holocaust. He is widely known for his studies on fascism.
