That interview by Amos Oz is not of Ariel Sharon. When I first saw that interview on the net, on a Muslim site, I wrote to Ben Gurion University in an attempt to query Oz about it.
Professor Oz doesn't have email, but I was given a contact email, and on May 11 got this reply from Professor Oz, relayed by an Ellen Moshenberg, also at the university:
Dear _________,
I have never interviewed Mr. Sharon. I have never even met Mr. Sharon.
The text you refer to is an interview with a private citizen, an Israeli
extremist who died several years ago.
Sincerely,
Amos Oz
I just wrote to Oz via Moshenberg, sending the Rense link, and to Rense, sending the correction and the information about how to contact Oz for confirmation. It will be interesting to see if the correction is made on Rense's page.
It is striking to me that Rense didn't bother to check. I managed to get the truth by putting "Ben Gurion University" into google and sending an email. |
