אחד מכותבי העיתון, לוקאס קרנר, דורש מאוניברסיטת הרווארד לנתק את כל קשריה הכלכליים והאקדמיים עם מדינת ישראל ולתמוך בתנועת ה-BDS הידועה לשמצה. השוואת מדינת ישראל, המעניקה שיוויון זכויות מלא לכלל אזרחיה, יהודים וערבים כאחד, לדרום אפריקה של תקופת האפרטהייד, היא התגלמות ה”פייק ניוז”. זה מעורר זעם וזה שקרי באופן חד...
