Itamar Sues over Haaretz Journalist’s Blood Libel

The town of Itamar in Samaria has been particularly hard-hit by Palestinian Authority terrorism over the past decade, losing 20 of its 1,000 residents to various attacks. The Fogel family, five members of which were massacred brutally by terrorists as they slept in their beds, lived in Itamar.

But in a bizarre twist, residents of the town found themselves accused of being perpetrators of terrorism by Haaretz journalist Neri Livneh in a televised appearance by her last year.

Livneh termed Itamar “a settlement populated by particularly violent people,” and claimed, “Someone there commits murder roughly once every two years.”

Livneh went on to accuse two specific men of murder. The two – Gadi Tene and Yaron Degani – have never been accused or indicted for murder, manslaughter, assault or any similar crime, much less convicted.

Now Itamar has decided to hit back with a 200,000 shekel lawsuit targeting Livneh for her remarks.

Let's be fair and slander Neri Livneh instead. What can I say? What's her most heinous crime? Sexual deviance? Nah. Too easy. Mistreats Sudanese housekeeper? Nah....I know! She writes for Haaretz!
