The Hill reports:
The editor in chief of Israeli news outlet Haaretz blasted Elon Musk’s visit to Israel, calling the tech billionaire a “blatant antisemite and publisher of antisemitism” amid backlash over antisemitic content on X.
“Blatant antisemite & publisher of antisemitism Elon Musk should be persona non grata in Israel,” Haaretz editor-in-chief Esther Solomon wrote in a post on X, which Musk owns.
“Instead, Netanyahu — plumbing new depths of amoral sycophancy — gifts him a PR visit to the kibbutzim devastated by Hamas. Profane, venal, bilious, both of them.”
