"He later presses her on the fact that she re-tweeted a mention from Sami Kishawiof the 'Love Under Apartheid' campaign:
"On the issue of her journalistic objectivity, Rudoren said her tweets do not reveal an innate bias against Israel.

Adam Horowitz and his Mondoweiss site, along with Richard Silverstein's Tikun Olan blog, have been one of the very few US-based web sites or publications, to provide a day by day account of the Khader Adnan ordeal as he lies chained to an Israeli military bed near Ramallah.
Whether the unjust administrative detention of Khader Adnan ends in his last-minute release or in his death by self-starvation, Adnan will have registered his protest against the injustice and humiliation of Israel's military Occupation, and in his case, especially, its administration detention.
Somehow I have to believe that new New York Times' Jerusalem bureau chief will report on the final outcome of Adnan's protest. She should, because in a much less-serious moment in her life, Rudoren has also been asked the McCarthy Era question by her inquisitors.
The drawing at the top of this posting originally appeared on the website of The Association for Human Rights in Israel. The video of the HUAC hearings is from this site.
This week's Wall Writings posting is being released a few days earlier than usual because I wanted to add my voice to those around the world who have demanded that Israel release Khader Adnan before he dies in an Israeli military prison, where he was incarcerated without any charges made against him.
