For years, Haaretz has been a radically anti-Israel paper, publishing a relentless stream of anti-Israel propaganda from within Israel. Now we know why: Qatar was paying the bills.
“Haaretz journalist fired following disclosure he received NIS 200,000 from Qatargate suspect,” by Jeremy Sharon, Times of Israel, October 30, 2025:
Prominent Haaretz journalist and commentator Chaim Levinson has been dismissed from his position at the newspaper after it emerged that he had done work for the political consultancy company owned by Yisrael Einhorn, a key suspect in the Qatargate affair.
As reported by Haaretz itself, Levinson, who has long acknowledged being good friends with Einhorn, worked as a ghostwriter for Einhorn’s Perception company from 2019 to 2024, earning some NIS 200,000 ($61,000) for articles he ghostwrote for election campaigns in the Balkan.
In the Qatargate scandal, Einhorn and Perception are believed to have conducted campaigns in Israel and abroad to boost Qatar’s image, in particular in connection to its role as an impartial mediator in hostage negotiations….
Responding to the report and his dismissal, Levinson acknowledges that he worked for Perception, but says he had no idea that Einhorn and his company were doing work for Qatar….
And the Kan public broadcaster reports that Levinson helped get an opinion article praising Qatar and criticizing Egypt published in Haaretz, which was published anonymously in the name of “a former senior defense establishment official” who is also reportedly a suspect in the Qatargate affair….

Thank you for your apt terminology.
There should be an annual award given out for best presstitute .
It could be called a “Duranty”.

Chaim Levinson is not a journalist – he’s a propagandist.
Big difference.

The left in Israel, like every western country is for destroying their own society.
It is beyond belief that after October 7ths atrocities, there is such duplicity.

Islam is buying our media, our political candidates and us. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are buying public opinion and spreading propaganda throughout our countries including our education system.
