17. Why do you think Derfner wrote and 972mag published the piece?

I am genuinely curious to know what you think his motivations were.

Like, for instance, when an article is published in English presenting Palestinians in a negative light by shining a light on some of the more vile nastiness, there is usually a reason behind it.
