Criticisms

In a article published in the Israeli newspaper Ha' aretz (translated and published by International Courrier under the title one manufactures information on the Means-Orient" , July 5th, 2007), Emmanuel Sivan, Islamic professor of history at the Hebraic University of Jerusalem, disputes the methods of investigations of Seymour Hersh: " here three months, the New Yorker published an article on the attitude of the Bush administration towards the sunnites and the Shiites. This article, written by Seymour Hersh, explained why the American administration, joining again with the realpolitik, supported the sunnites in their conflict with the Shiites. This change of attitude led it to cooperate even with the sunnites most violently opposed to the United States, including groups related to Al-Qaida. To support its demonstration, Hersh revealed that the United States poured funds with the Lebanese government of the Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, while knowing that part of these sums went to the Palestinian group of the Fatah Al-Islam whose militiamans were cut off in the Refugee camp from Nahr El-Bared. This article was published in the New Yorker nearly two months before the confrontations between Fatah Al-Islam and the Lebanese army.
