Professor Moshe Zuckerman (history) tells German radio that Israel
has murdered 400,000 Palestinians during the Gaza conflict. See
this report. Head of
TAU's Institute
for German History.
Vienna-based veteran journalist and media
critic Karl Pfeifer slammed Deutschlandradio for its interview
with Israeli historian and sociologist Moshe Zuckermann on Friday.
Zuckermann told a widely-heard radio program that Israel had
killed 400,000 Palestinians during the Gaza conflict.
At the time of interview, the reported number
of deaths was about 400.
Speaking to the Post, Pfeifer criticized the
radio interviewer, Birgit Kolkmann, for failing to "interrupt"
Zuckermann.
"Any serious journalist would have asked the
question" regarding the accuracy of the number of deaths, he said.
Pfeifer said Deutschlandradio only corrected
its on-line transcript eight hours after the broadcast and he
demanded that Kolkmann be sacked.
Thomas Wische, an editor with
Deutschlandradio, told the Post that Zuckermann's comment was a
"bad mistake." He said he spoke to Zuckermann following the
revelation and that Zuckermann had been embarrassed by it.
Wische added that Kolkmann "did not notice"
the error, and there is no "bad intention or ideology" behind the
broadcast of 400,000 deaths.
But the broadcast can be heard on-line, and
Wische said Deutschlandradio would not be modifying the live
broadcast.
Zuckermann writes for the aggressively
anti-Zionist left-wing paper junge Welt. Journalist Ivo Bozic, who
writes for German weekly Jungle World, has written that junge Welt
has become the "central German newspaper of Hamas" during the
conflict.
When asked about Zuckermann and junge Welt,
Wische said the Deutschlandradio sought to "document a piece of
the opinion spectrum" with its Zuckermann interview.
*** Just imagine what he tells his STUDENTS!
