4. So he doesn't actually say what your OP claims

Nowhere in the article does he say that he doesn't like to talk about the occupation in English.

That is just completely made up by the author of the OP you posted.

In fact, Ari Shavit has talked about the occupation in English quite frequently.

Here's an article he wrote for The Guardian (in English):

The UN is preserving the Israeli occupation

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/26/un-gaza-war-report-preserving-israeli-occupation

Seems odd for a person who supposedly doesn't like to talk about the occupation in English to publish an op-ed piece about the occupation in The Guardian in English.

Wouldn't you agree?
