Roni Daniel Paid Israelis a Great Service, Hiding the Truth About the Army and the Occupation

The national mourning over the death of Channel 12 military commentator Roni Daniel – declared by Israel’s television stations, notably his own – fell on attentive ears.

Many Israelis have indeed been deeply saddened by the passing of this icon, just as his journalist colleagues have deeply mourned him. Daniel was a person to love, they said, as well as a person who told the truth. It is therefore permissible and even necessary to state the truth about him, even following his passing.
