@dang why is this downvoted? Because I'm including a link to an Israely newspaper? Replying to a question asked? I don't include any opinion!

All I can tell you is that users downvoted it. As to why - your guess is as good as mine, though there are sometimes clues in the replies.

Indeed, my reply to his reply was downvoted as well. Along the lines of: "I have a preconceived opinion and don't want to deal with facts." Quite popular in some circles these days.
