TRNN is another outlet with an explicit anti-Zionist stance, and they seem to be just summarizing this Jewish Insider article [1] while adding some anti-Israel spin.

Considering the extra details in the Jewish Insider article, what he said was basically "if someone rejects the Jewish peoples' right to self-determination and rejects Israel's existence, then we have a fundamental difference in values, and they might decide that working here isn't a good fit".

That's pretty far from the MEE's dishonest summary of "support Israel or resign", or TRNN's dishonest summary of "demands allegiance to Israel". One can criticize a government without rejecting the country's very existence. Israelis themselves do it all the time.

Yes, that is a better article. It spells out Döpfner's position a lot better than the others. The important bit of information is that this is all in response to Politico journalists issuing a joint letter saying that Döpfner using the platform to further his own political agenda will weaken their reputation as an impartial news source.

Instead, he pushed back hard.

So basically: Get on board or get out.
