The Good News
Since I last wrote on the subject, I haven't noticed any ads at all on Haaretz.com for Samson Blinded, the looney-Zionist (as opposed to Right Zionist or liberal Zionist) Web site that portrays Palestinians as cockroaches and encourages their removal from all of Greater Israel, and that had been advertising there on a regular basis for at least the last nine months.
Perhaps it's my strongly-worded complaint to Ha'aretz.com that did it: the one I sent on the last occasion I saw the ad in question, when it was published on the same page as a story decrying Hamas' inciting against Israelis, of all places. Though as Ha'aretz didn't actually get round to sending me as much as an acknowledgement, I'm guessing not.
Anyway, for now the ads seem to be gone.
The Bad News
I was slumming it at Ynet yesterday, reading the charming story of Israeli settlers being a light to the nations by tying a Palestinian youth to an ATV and dragging him him through his father's olive grove, and when I scrolled down to the bottom of the story I noticed who was advertizing there:
Oh well, it's Ynet. It's not like Ynet has that good of a reputation to lose anyway.
