JINGOISM: What Does Arutz Sheva Stand For? Corrupting Jewish Souls and Killing Jewish Bodies

Arutz Sheva-Israel National News has decided to remove an article that dealt with documentation allegedly contrary to orders in southern Lebanon, following requests received from soldiers operating in the field and senior officers.

The soldiers claimed that the publication, although accurate and concerning conduct contrary to orders, harms the fighting spirit and the forces operating on the ground…

We posted about this yesterday in Hebrew.

Now, for our English readers, with Chananya Weissman’s comment:

Arutz Sheva openly admits that they prioritize the “fighting spirit” over publishing the truth about immorality in the IDF. In other words, they are statist propagandists, not journalists.

Never mind the fact that immorality in the army camp drives away Hashem’s protection (Devarim 23:15), and thus endangers soldiers like nothing else. The main thing is to serve the state and maintain morale under false pretenses.
