Amira Hass ((ヘブライ語:עמירה הס); born 28 June 1956) is an Israeli journalist and author, mostly known for her columns in the daily newspaper ''Haaretz''. She is particularly recognized for her reporting on Palestinian affairs in the West Bank and Gaza, where she has also lived for a number of years. ==Life== The daughter of two Holocaust survivors, Hass is the only child of a Sarajevo-born Sephardic Jewish mother, who survived nine months in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and a Romanian-born Jewish father.〔Chris Kutschera. (''From inside an Israeli prison'' ) ''The Middle East''. 15 January 2008〕 Hass was born in Jerusalem, and was educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she studied the history of Nazism and the European Left's relation to the Holocaust. Early in her career, she traveled widely and worked in several different jobs. For some years during the 1980s, Hass lived in Amsterdam, being married to a Dutch man. She became fluent in Dutch and was involved with various left-wing, feminist and Jewish dissident groups. However, her marriage broke down and she returned to Israel. Until 1989, Hass wrote occasionally for low-circulation left-wing magazines, but was not known to the general public. Her journalistic career was launched due to the Romanian Revolution of 1989. ''Haaretz'' looked urgently for a reporter to go to Romania and cover the unfolding events. Amira Hass had a cultural Romanian background and some knowledge of the language, and was willing to take the assignment at very short notice. Her series of in-depth reports from Romania got wide attention and gained her a job as a regular staff editor for ''Haaretz''. Frustrated by the events of the First Intifada and by what she considered their inadequate coverage in the Israeli media, she started to report from the Palestinian territories in 1991. As of 2003, she is the only Jewish Israeli journalist who has lived full-time among the Palestinians, in Gaza from 1993 and in Ramallah from 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=10185&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html )〕 On various occasions she stated her opinion, "Just as reporting about England should be from London and about France from Paris, so reporting about Palestine should be from Palestine." Her reporting is generally sympathetic to the Palestinian point of view and critical of Israeli government policy towards the Palestinians. During the years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, however, Hass published several highly critical articles about the chaos and disorder caused by militias associated with the Fatah party of Yasser Arafat and the bloody war between Palestinian factions in Nablus. Her reportage of events, and her voicing of opinions that run counter to both official Israeli and Palestinian positions has exposed Hass to verbal attacks, and opposition from both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities. In 2006, she compared Israeli policies towards the Palestinian population to those of South Africa during Apartheid, saying, "The Palestinians, as a people, are divided into subgroups, something which is reminiscent also of South Africa under apartheid rule." In September 2014, Hass went to attend a conference in Birzeit University organised by the leftist German Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and the Center for Development Studies at the university.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/rlfpal/posts/902387746456825 )〕 However, she was asked to leave by two Birzeit lecturers, on account of a rule against the presence of Israelis (which she judged to mean Israeli Jews). She said that she had attended the University many times and had never heard of such a rule.〔 The international conference's organizers were offended. The regional head of the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation Katja Hermann stated after the incident that she would not have agreed to hold the conference at Birzeit had she been aware of the policy.〔 The university later issued a statement saying "The administration has nothing against the presence of the journalist Hass."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amira Hass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
