Uri Avnery, 94, Israeli journalist and peace activist
By Isabel Kershner, NEW YORK TIMES
How this transcription was made
Date confirmed on the page (eva-folio). Adjudicated corrected against the printed page: The obituary's own text fixes the date past argument. Column one: 'Uri Avnery, a firebrand Israeli journalist, politician, and peace activist ... died Monday in Tel Aviv. He was 94.' Next paragraph: '. Legibility fair; any passage that could not be read is omitted rather than reconstructed.
Context added by this archive
2018 GROUP by date label, but by content this belongs to the Avnery obituary, not to the nation-state law. New York Times wire copy. Recoverable readings, recorded as description and NOT as transcription: the obituary quotes Avnery describing the present Israeli government as clearly semi-fascist, and closes with Ayman Odeh's tribute.
The Odeh quote in quotes[] was read at 8x across a column break and should be re-verified before publication.
