You think the press would ignore it if Israeli authorities violated his rights?

My assessment of Arrigoni is spot on. I supplied you with links that point to his vulgar antisemitic views. Nothing new WRT the press as, by and large, they still refer to insanely hateful Mavi Marmara thugs caught on tape as humanitarians, and have deliberately ignored what should have been a major scandal WRT Mearsheimer's endorsement of Atzmon. Just a few examples of many...
