Hari and Levy's reductionist vision of Israel

Chris Dyszyński of Just Journalism with a good article on the two clowns.

Maybe just one remark Chris' article is missing: the general attitude of Hari's piece, titled Is Gideon Levy the most hated man in Israel or just the most heroic?  shows two main mistakes Hari and Levy tend to make:

  • Grossly (in all senses of this word) overvaluing Mr Levy's - and Mr Hari's - public worth
  • As a result, grossly overrating the level of emotion felt by Israeli public toward Mr Levy
