\u201cA country populated by a [sic.] ethnoreligious group who were immorally and horrifically tortured and killed in the Holocaust for their ethnicity is led by a Prime Minister that the world\u2019s top war crimes court has issued warrants for his alleged acts of war crimes an [sic.] crimes against humanity,\u201d the paragraph said.<\/p>\n
In a response emailed to the editor, Medoff pushed back against \u201cpoliticizing our book\u201d and called the claims \u201cfactually inaccurate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The email also said that, during a phone conversation, the editor had demanded Medoff accuse Israel of genocide in the book\u2019s introduction to prevent people from getting \u201cmad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Medoff said the editor\u2019s proposals amounted to minimizing the Nazi genocide and Holocaust inversion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you are saying, in plain English, is that the Jews were victims of the Holocaust and now the Jews are committing another Holocaust,\u201d Medoff wrote. \u201cI understand it has become fashionable in certain circles today to accuse Israel of mass murder. But being fashionable is not the same as being right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dark Horse had previously published two books by Medoff, both of which came out before the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught and the ensuing war in Gaza and across the Middle East.<\/p>\n
The editor, Craig Yoe, told The New York Post<\/a> that there were \u201ca number of errors\u201d in Medoff\u2019s description of the dispute, without providing further details, and Dark Horse declined to comment.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident \u2013 ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded \u2013 I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.<\/p>\n There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.<\/p>\n As a Times of Israel reporter, I\u2019m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit\u2019s. But my colleagues and I can’t do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community.
