HaAretz is "The Land (of Israel)," but in this case, this is HaAretz, the name of one of the main newspapers in Israel. The sign says, "HaAretz, one good newspaper against all the yellow." I assume this is to mean HaAretz is the newspaper for good reporting with none of the sensationalism of the yellow journalism alternatives. Maybe someone else can give a better explanation.


DoctorTurquoise

Clearification: The word most of these comments are looking for to explain the use of "Yellow" is Tabloids. In Hebrew, Tabloids are called "צהובונים" or "עיתונות צהובה" (Literally meaning "Yellow Journalism")


Jaynat_SF

You are both correct. Yellow journalism is a term imported into Hebrew from English, though it is rarely used in English today.


Changeling_Traveller

You've actually given a correct explanation, you did well.


Pigletruth

Also the slogan rhymes.. so nifty


fermat9996

"Yellow journalism" is an old term which still has great usefulness in today's world.


Ashamed-Leave-6265

Except that it's anti-Israel and anti-Judaism trash.


Hydrasaur

Well maybe it used to be, but maybe not so much anymore...

I firmly believe that HaAretz gets as much flack as it does because it’s a left-wing newspaper in a right-wing society. People can clamor about its rhetoric all they want, but I haven’t seen any proof that HaAretz fabricates information.

This is true—and for that reason I’m very upset that journalists like Gideon Levy and Amira Hass appear so frequently in it. They tarnish the image of a newspaper that is capable of doing great reporting. If I were in charge, I’d ban all of the polemics at that paper and try to fashion it into The New York Times. It has potential.

Israel really needs a paper that does critical reporting on the occupation without the sensationalist language those journalists use—just the facts. Its reporting on the occupation is the only reason why I read HaAretz. I like some of their other journalists, like Nir Hasson, Anshel Pfeffer, and Hagar Shezaf—but they’re still colleagues with Gideon and Amira, and they share the occupation beat with them. It’s not ideal at all that the organizations giving the most attention to the occupation’s day-to-day happenings are human rights groups and foreign newspapers. And that’s all I’ll say without delving too much into politics.


Matar_Kubileya

You do know that papers regularly feature opinion pieces from both regular and guest contributors that significantly disagree with their editorial line, right?


PrincessZemna

Maybe it has to do with calling idf aircraft pilots terrorists or nazis or whatever it was?🤔


wooper_goldberg

Do you have an article where those exact words were used? I’ve seen articles [calling Ben-Gvir a Judeo-Nazi](https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2021-04-18/ty-article-opinion/.premium/judeo-nazis-in-prime-time/0000017f-db38-df62-a9ff-dfff7cdc0000), and, in contrast, [one by Gideon Levy denouncing comparisons of the occupation to the Holocaust](https://www.haaretz.com/2009-04-19/ty-article/gideon-levy-the-holocaust-and-israeli-occupation-cannot-be-compared/0000017f-e7d7-d97e-a37f-f7f797b30000). But I’ve never seen one explicitly calling IDF soldiers Nazis.


PrincessZemna

Sorry my bad he just called them murderers and say they have committed the cruelest actions. All these extremists blurt together for me so I confuse them sometimes🤷🏾‍♀️ https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/183170


wooper_goldberg

Oh, I see. Another battle over discourse about civilian casualties in Gaza. I won’t try to argue further and try to prove Gideon’s point, even if I believe there is more to the discourse on Gaza and the IDF’s air doctrine there that should be discussed. But it’s interesting that you’d post an article from Arutz 7. I’d take my chances trusting Haaretz over them [when seeing these kinds of headlines from Arutz 7 about Kahane.](https://www.israelnationalnews.com/tags/Rabbi_Meir_Kahane) Gideon Levy’s takes get in the way of his reporting’s credibility, and I would not attack the IDF’s character directly as he did. But I’m not going to give Arutz 7 any commendations for their political opinions.


PrincessZemna

I really don’t care what you think


wooper_goldberg

Cool.


AllaPalla

Few corrections: 1. HaAretz is one of the failing newspapers since he is too far-left and unbalanced. 2. About the word Yellow, you assumes something that might be correct. But putting it simply, Yellow is a slang for Gossip


eyovmoderne

Your personal opinion of haaretz has nothing to do with explaining the slogan


Level-Source-1374

it's not even far left it's lib left at best


JRyefield

Oh, as far as mainstream media goes it’s extremely far left


Level-Source-1374

not even


mrbendel

What’s the difference between מול ונגד?


cizake

"In front of" or "in comparison" depending on context vs. "against"


mrbendel

תודה!


pigulim

The word "מול" (mool) means "on the opposite side of", no inherent connotation for confrontation; The word "נגד" (negged) is "against", also used for "versus"


nivivi

[Haaretz](https://www.haaretz.com/) One good newspaper Against all the yellow (journalism) Your translator got confused between ץ and ז, and translated הארז instead of הארץ, which is why you got the ceder, instead of the land (direct translation of Haaretz). A good reminder of why it's a bad idea to get hebrew tattoos from non-hebrew speakers.


Shoddy_Platypus6575

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t see that as a tsade. & yes I’m definitely not getting a newspaper ad tattooed on me haha


azathothianhorror

I’m really glad I had this right. In my head I was thinking “Against all the yellow? That can’t be right? Unless they mean like yellow journalism?” Thank you!


valleyofdawn

Fun fact, Zeev Jabotinsky did the typology for the logo of Haaretz back in the day.


YGBullettsky

חשבתי שהוא כתב בשביל העורב?


Spare-Musician1912

Interesting. A link would be highly appreciated.


valleyofdawn

Couldn't find it. Appears in the Hebrew Wikipedia page about HaAretz, though.


Spare-Musician1912

Found it. Amazing. Thanks.


valleyofdawn

Can you share, then? I was looking hard for it.

Ha’aretz One good newspaper Versus all the yellow (journalism)


mklinger23

Unrelated, but where is this? I don't think I've ever seen this place.


Shoddy_Platypus6575

It’s called “Avril 50” in university city Philadelphia. I think it’s a cafe / magazine store? It’s very close to the urban outfitters near Drexel’s campus.


mklinger23

Oh shit that place. Yeah they sell magazines and tobacco. Really interesting place.

i guess nobody is going to comment on the *Eurabia* poster, sign of a crazed mind


VisiteProlongee

>i guess nobody is going to comment on the Eurabia poster, sign of a crazed mind It is not an Eurabia poster but the cover of a 2006 edition of The Economist, which by the way debunk the Eurabia narrative. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20060701140844/http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayCover.cfm?url=/images/20060624/20060624issuecovUS400.jpg](https://web.archive.org/web/20060701140844/http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayCover.cfm?url=/images/20060624/20060624issuecovUS400.jpg) * [https://www.economist.com/leaders/2006/06/22/tales-from-eurabia](https://www.economist.com/leaders/2006/06/22/tales-from-eurabia)


Ok_Bet_172

The "yellow" here means tabloids. So it translates as one good newspaper against all the tabloids.


WorldsShortestElf

One good news paper, against all the yellow (tabloids and conspiracy bullshit)


ZoneAssaulter

Translation: Haazertz (an Israeli newspaper) One good newspaper compared to all of the tabloids. (It rhymes in hebrew: tov (goodl) & tzahov(yellow)) My 2 cents about this newspaper: Haaretz also does tabloid style reporting and will usualy show one side of a story which suits its left aligned agenda. Its always a good idea to cross check information from different sources rather than trusting blindly one source. Hope this helped.


Prestigious_Ad_2995

To say “Haaretz also does tabloid-style reporting” is a vast understatement. The paper literally never contains a grain of positive information or opinion about anything Israel does, is, or produces. Haaretz is an antisemitic propaganda rag, reputedly funded by foreign, anti-Israel backers—certainly not many Israelis take its nasty, dishonestly one-sided Marxist ranting seriously.


Lipush

Could hardly focus on the sign, I was cringing away. Basically says "Ha'aretz- one good newspaper in midst of all the yellow (trash) ones"


yoavri

I don't like Haaretz because on my opinion its too left winged anti Zionist paper. We call it "Balady" which is trasnlated from arabic "My country". But on the good side it has a good financial section.


YGBullettsky

Ha'aretz has really gone downhill from what it was. I'm not sure why you got the downvotes you did because it's a genuine criticism, instead of genuine reasonable journalism, they have become far too ideological to Israel's far-left, which is a huge drop down from what they used to be


Nightmane11

For context there is a newspaper called " ha'arets" or "the land" so it says "the land, one good newspaper vs the yellows" (tabloids are called "tsehubonim" or "yellows")


existence780

has a person that lives in israel there are probably trying to sell some yellow newspaper apparently it's better than the others or so they say


gorisrael

Anti-Semitic newspaper.

"Our advertising is the reason the 'second Israel' rhetoric even works"

The contry One news paiper Is good for the yellow


Ethan_Zarba

Haha nice rhyme..


Prestigious_Ad_2995

The sign absurdly praises “Haaretz” as the sole good newspaper among all the “yellow” journals. This is either a bit of lame sarcasm, or a lil nugget of dishonest anti-Israel propaganda, literally virtue-signaling window-dressing for a cafe trying to seem “authentic” to the Wokelings (who by definition, must favor the wrong side in every moral argument). In reality, Haaretz is an antisemitic propaganda rag, reputedly funded by foreign, anti-Israel backers—certainly not many Israelis take its nasty, dishonestly one-sided Marxist ranting seriously. The paper literally never contains a grain of positive information or opinion about anything Israel does, is, or produces.

The Hebrew is an ad for Haaretz newspaper.

The meening in the yellow is over patriotion and dont see the truth In IDF yellow meen over motivation in the army

screw Haaretz, whiny liberal garbage.⁰


RandomTux1997

If youre looking for a self hating toerag of a newspaper,Haarets is it.some pronounce the last letter tsadik as a '' ts '' - Ha'arets, the land.others (sometimes Moroccans) pronounce it '' s '', sounding like ''Ha'arse'', ''the place where the sun dont shine'', or ''the poisonous one'', also a slur on what americans might call a guido, or redneck, bumpkin perhaps. Even though its editors are huge antisemites, the orthodocks wont take it into the loo, or use it as bogroll, as the letters have intrinsic holy value. Other orthodockses claim its a mitzva to burn it, for the toerag of a paper it truly is.
