What troubles me about this little episode, this minor and ultimately quite trivial affair, is that the initial reports were so completely misleading. The ethical standards for reporting on anything to do with the Israeli-Palestinian psychodrama are extremely, and I would argue irresponsibly, low.
A good example of how the West sees domestic Israeli politics, which plays into the hands of the Israeli right. The plausible explanation was always that Natalie Portman was protesting Netanyahu, not that she was supporting BDS, but it's in the interests of the Israeli right and pro-Palestinian activists to suggest otherwise. The narrative must be maintained!
