He just likes to push buttons by saying crazy things.

In the past, Ha'aretz had tried to tamp down some of the crazier ones, but now they seem more comfortable publishing them - and providing crazy headlines to go with them.

Please note, that the headline specifically does say that anti-semitism is dead and that the funeral of Shimon Peres proves it.

It could not make that statement any more clearly and directly than it does.

You agree that such a headline is insane, do you not?
