Good to keep in mind that all Israeli media, Haaretz included, are under military censorship. So, yeah, good to get the propaganda pulse, but not much else.

Also good to remember the English versions of Israeli sites have the propaganda for the US and diaspora. The Hebrew versions give a clearer picture of the internal messaging.

Yes, this is very important when approaching the region. If you want to get the actual pulse, you have to read from the regional language website. For example, Al Jazeera Arabic is actually very extremist by Western standards, just as Israel Hayom in Hebrew is.
