Campaign to Refute Anti Israel Op-Ed by The Independent's Johann Hari

On Friday 12 March 2010,  The Independant's Johann Hari wrote another biased op-ed full of distortions and historical revisionism.

Johann Hari will always be remembered as the columnist who compared Israel to excrement. Rather than answering the various libels and misinformation contained in his articles, Hari accused Honest Reporting and others of attempting to curtail his freedom of speech when he was quite correctly and legitimately held to account

The op-ed can be found at the following website:

While Hari may not believe so, Israel and her supporters do have legitimate rights. One of those rights is to hold Hari to account for his latest screed. Your e-mails are a very legitimate and correct form of protest. We do ask, however, that, despite the outrage this article may generate, please do not play into Hari's hands by using immoderate or extreme language in your letters, which is simply self-defeating.
