The New York Times: Israel's most renowned TV news anchor denounces Israel as conqueror, occupier and suppressing another people

Originally published

The New York Times reported that the most famous Israeli personality in TV news, known as Mr. Television, said that “For nearly 40 years, Haim Yavin has been the calm, objective face of Israeli news, the anchor of Channel 1's broadcast since the founding of Israeli television in 1968."

The New York Times reports Haim Yavin saying "Since 1967, we have been brutal conquerors, occupiers, suppressing another people."

The New York Times report adds: He films a soldier who complains that the settlers keep pressing him to shoot Palestinian children. When a settler tells him that if the army can keep the peace, "Muhammad" will make the Israelis coffee, Mr. Yavin retorts, "I'm not willing to rule another people, not willing for 'Muhammad' to make me coffee."

In the report, Haim Yavin says about the treatment the Palestinians suffers from Israelis "It's not Jewish, what we're doing."
