@noa_landau @BarakRavid We saw this tendency become a full on pathology last October/November. A series of interviews w celebrity journos and none w Israelis. I was told then. “Oh. That’s Bibi.” But it felt different. First Q every journo interviewing him should be: Why do you speak w no Israeli journo
