In Landau's case, he also
headed the Jewish Tele-
graph Agency bureau in
Israel while holding the job
of managing editor with
JTA's rival, the Post.
Yehuda Levy's decision to
bar the reprinting of the
reply-to-Shamir editorial,
and a letter he sent to the
Israel Editors' Committee
asking to be included in
their number, may have
been ill-advised. But he had
never told any writer or any
editor at the Post to change
one word of their copy. And
that is the bottom line.
The rebels, who claim
credit for having made the
Post the main conduit for
exposing Israeli transgres-
sions in dealing with the in-
tifada, really left because
their leader, Landau, failed
to take over as editor-in-
chief at the Post. Those who
stayed at the Post and who
know the whole story were
stunned that this fact was
left out of most media
reports.
Also ignored was the fact
that reporter Joel Green-
burg, a Landau appointee,
did not resign along with the
others. "The management
never touched any of my
copy, and as long as they
don't, I'll stay put," Green-
burg told me.
Greenburg is a hardwork-
ing, excellent reporter,
though he has made some
serious blunders and has
definitely slanted his ar-
ticles in a show of sympathy
with the Palestinians. But
the editors who handled his
copy consistently "played" it
in a way (position in the
paper, headline, etc.) that
left no doubt where the
editors stood.
A prime example occurred
more than a year ago, when
Greenburg, relying entirely
on Palestinian sources,
asserted that Israeli soldiers
were going into Palestinian
homes and using hypoder-
mic needles to inject young
men with some mysterious
and horrible substance. For
three days, the story
screamed out from page one.
On the fourth day, when
the IDF finally came up with
proof that this was an entire-
ly false report, the damage
had already been done.
Following two weeks of
turbulence, Yehuda Levy
wrote "A letter from the
publisher" that appeared on
the Post's op-ed page.
"The real crisis that burst
upon us," he wrote, "had
