And Iraq is/was not a Muslim country. Saddam Hussein’s government was secular Baathist.

It’s not the first time either:

and

Osnat Kohali, the manager of Haaretz.com, answered ei’s query by saying that the newspaper and its website have a clear policy of no “incitement against any side”, but also offered as a defense the fact that the openly racist, genocidal stuff was only at Samson Blinded’s web site, not in the actual ads that Ha’aretz.com runs (though the ads of course link directly back to the web site).

Such a “defense” (bullshit though it is) simply doesn’t square with the explanation that haaretz.com lacks direct control over the ads. If that was the reason they could’ve said so and sorted it out with the banner provider instead of going to some implausible lengths to defend the indefensible.

How courageous, to spout your hatred here where no one can see your face or know who you are.

Do I not know what the ideology of Islam teaches? Yes, I do. Do you?

Iraq bombed Tel Aviv in 91, does 18 years count as more than a generation?

Are you kidding me?
Do you not know the background of Hassan? Do you not know what the ideology of Islam teaches? The truth is that the teaching in Islam is evil and depraved. That does not equate to Muslim hatred. Islams first victims are those who call themselves Muslims. I’m tired of this PC crap. But why let the truth get in the way of your propaganda, right?

It’s pathetic that Haaretz accepts blood money from this pro-settler scum who’d like nothing better than to foment increasing hatred and violence between Islam and “civilized western religions” like Christianity and Judaism.

Ha’aretz may or may not have direct control over the types of advertising that appear on their banner ads. I’ve seen that type of banner ad pop up in other places, including discussions that were sharply critical of that sort of thing.
