Haaretz Owned By Nazi-Linked Firm: Now It All Makes Sense

Special Thanks To Avi For This Tasty Tidbit!
Recently, in a spat with Richard Silverstein, reader Taming Korach pointed out that Haaretz is a German-owned newspaper. Thanks to another reader, Avi, we now have the evidence to convict lil Richard on charges of idiocy. Lil Richard whimpered:

Let it not be said that you waste any time actually trying to propound truthful or factual arguments. Haaretz is not “owned” by Germans. A German publishing company owns a minority stake. Furthermore, the German company has specifically said it has absolutely no control over anything written in the newspaper. So much for yr command of the facts. You can’t stand the idea that Israelis actually write Haaretz and advance ideas & arguments w. which you vehemently disagree. So you conveniently argue that the reason for this is that Haaretz is owned by anti-Semitic Nazis/Germans. Nice work.

Here is proof that Haaretz is connected to the former Nazi regime. As Avi wrote me: “now it all makes sense!”

according to Wikipedia:

Management
The newspaper’s editorial policy was defined by Gershom Gustav Schocken, who was editor-in-chief from 1939 to 1990. Haaretz is owned by the Schocken family. The editor of the paper today is Dov Alfon, replacing David Landau in April 2008.[15] Landau succeeded Hanoch Marmari[16] and Yoel Esteron in April 2004. Adar Primor was the editor of Haaretz English Edition from 2005-2007. Charlotte Halle became managing editor of the English Edition in 2007 and editor of the English Edition in February 2008.
In August 2006, DuMont Schauberg acquired 25 percent of the shares of the Haaretz group. This German publisher, based in Cologne, owns four daily newspapers and a dozen other publications. It is also a partial owner of various radio stations. The deal was negotiated with the help of former Israeli ambassador to Germany Avi Primor. According to the CEO of the Haaretz group Amos Schocken, the proceeds from the sale will allow the company to augment its stake at Walla!, an Israeli Internet site.
