‘Hateful comments’ on Netanyahu’s stopover

ON November 10 you published an article headlined ‘Netanyahu’s Shannon stopover sparks criticism’, concerning the brief touchdown by the Israeli prime minister.

The article extensively quoted a member of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a member of Shannonwatch. Both groups are known to be extremely biased against Israel. The quotations by these “activists” completely dominated the article.

The reporter did not question or corroborate what they said, and did not contact an Israeli source for the sake of balance.
