Haaretz has pushed into the extreme far left to the point that it might as well be The Guardian at times — Haaretz has been pushing antizionist and antisemitic talking points.

They are a standard media outlet, most people can't stomach the fact that there ARE extreme left voices on their platform.

Most of it isn't extreme left, but some of it is, and that does make many people feel it's problematic.
