FYI:
Haaretz describes itself as having "a broadly liberal outlook both on domestic issues and on international affairs",
[31] and has been summarized as being "liberal on security, civil rights and economy, supportive of the Supreme Court, very critical of Netanyahu's government".
[32] Others describe it alternatively as
liberal,
[33][34][35] centre-left,
[36] left-wing,
[37][38][39] and the country's only major left-leaning newspaper.
[40] The newspaper opposes retaining control of the territories and consistently supports peace initiatives.
[41] The
Haaretz editorial line is supportive of weaker elements in Israeli society, such as sex workers, foreign laborers,
Israeli Arabs,
Ethiopian immigrants, and
Russian immigrants.

In 2006, the
BBC said that
Haaretz takes a moderate stance on foreign policy and security.
[42] David Remnickin
The New Yorker described
Haaretz as "easily the most liberal newspaper in Israel", its ideology as left-wing and its temper as "insistently oppositional".
[29] According to
Ira Sharkansky,
Haaretz's
op-ed pages are open to a variety of opinions.
[43] J. J. Goldberg, the editor of the American
The Jewish Daily Forward, describes
Haaretz as "Israel's most vehemently anti-
settlement daily paper".
[44] Stephen Glain of
The Nation described
Haaretz as "Israel's liberal beacon",
citing its editorials voicing opposition to the occupation, the discriminatory treatment of Arab citizens, and the mindset that led to the Second Lebanon War.[45] A 2003 study in
The International Journal of Press/Politics concluded that
Haaretz's reporting of the
Israeli–Palestinian conflictwas more favorable to Israelis than to Palestinians but less so than that of
The New York Times.
[46] In 2016,
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of
The Atlantic, wrote: "I like a lot of the people at
Haaretz, and many of its positions,
but the cartoonish anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism can be grating."
