Dow Jones Futures Due With These 10 Market-Moving Earnings Reports On Tap
Dow Jones futures will open on Sunday evening, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures. Investors will be looking ahead to a huge week of earnings, led by Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT) and Boeing (BA).
X
The stock market rally retreated mid-week, with the major indexes tumbling below key moving averages. But they bounced back Friday, especially the Nasdaq and tech stocks. The Nasdaq, the laggard in 2022, has led the big-cap indexes in 2023 as tech growth names come back in favor.
The recent pullback offered a chance for many stocks to take a breather, forging handles or other new buying opportunities.
Investors should be paying close attention, but be cautious about new positions. The market rally is around critical levels. Earnings season could roil the indexes and specific sectors as well as individual stocks.
Hundreds of companies will be reporting this coming week. Here are 10 earnings reports to watch closely: Tesla, Microsoft, Boeing, ServiceNow (NOW), Chevron (CVX), Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA), as well as chip-gear giants ASML (ASML), Lam Research (LRCX) and KLA Corp. (KLAC).
These reports will offer insight into their respective industries, and could have a big impact on the overall market. Tesla stock and Microsoft still have a lot of repair work to do, while Boeing is extended. NOW stock could be near an aggressive early entry. CVX stock, Visa and Mastercard are all near buy points. So are LRCX and KLA, while ASML is slightly out of reach.
KLAC stock is on the IBD Big Cap 20. Microsoft stock and ASML are on IBD Long-Term Leaders.
Microsoft, Boeing, Chevron and Visa stock are all Dow Jones components.
The video embedded in this article reviews an important market week and analyzes Etsy (ETSY), LRCX stock and ServiceNow.

Stock Market Rally
The stock market rally suffered a downside reversal Wednesday, and fell further on Thursday, but finished relatively well.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.7% in last week’s stock market trading. The S&P 500 index dipped 0.7%. The Nasdaq composite climbed 0.55%. The small-cap Russell 2000 declined 1.1%.
The 10-year Treasury yield fell 3 basis points to 3.48% Friday. The yield hit 3.37% during the week, a four-month low.
The expiring February crude oil futures contract rose 1.8% to $81.31 a barrel last week. The March contract, the new near-month crude contract, finished at $81.64.
ETFs
Among growth ETFs, the Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY) fell 1% last week. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) rose 1.45%, with MSFT stock and ServiceNow both significant holdings. The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) edged up 0.7%. ASML stock is a big holding, along with LRCX, KLAC and TER.
Reflecting more-speculative story stocks, ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) climbed 1.4% last week and ARK Genomics ETF (ARKG) lost 1%. TSLA stock remains a major holding across Ark Invest’s ETFs. Indeed, Cathie Wood’s Ark reloaded its Tesla stock holdings in recent months.
SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) dipped 0.5% after two big weekly gains. The Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) fell nearly 3%. U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) edged up just 0.35% but it’s up sharply in 2023. SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) fell 2.4%.
The Energy Select SPDR ETF (XLE) climbed 0.7%, a sixth straight weekly advance. Chevron stock is a major component. The Financial Select SPDR ETF (XLF) sank 2.1%. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) fell 1.1%, the sixth decline in seven weeks.
Five Best Chinese Stocks To Watch Now
Key Earnings
Tesla earnings are due Wednesday night. Investors expect earnings to rise 34% and revenue 39%. That would be the first quarter in years that revenue growth would outpace profits, an early sign of margin pressure.
The focus will likely be on the outlook, especially in the wake of big price cuts worldwide to start 2023. Will Tesla stick to its 50% delivery growth target? Will Elon Musk provide more Cybertruck specifics, and will he confirm a reported Model 3 revamp? What about a new EV plant? Tesla stock soared 9% last week to 133.42, above the 21-day moving average after dropping to 101.81 intraday on Jan. 6. But it’s still below its 50-day line and especially its 200-day line.
Microsoft earnings are due Tuesday night. Analysts expect Microsoft earnings to decline slightly, with a slim revenue gain. Microsoft’s results will be key for software makers, the PC sector and cloud-computing rivals such as Amazon.com (AMZN). This past week, the Dow Jones tech titan said it would cut 10,000 jobs, or 4.5% of staff. MSFT stock edged up 0.4% last week, hitting resistance at the 50-day line. Microsoft arguably has a bottoming base below the 200-day line. But a breakout would involve clearing the 200-day line and a long downward-sloping trendline.
Boeing earnings are Wednesday morning, with a slim profit expected after a string of losses. Investors are betting on rebounding profit and cash flow in the coming years. Boeing stock fell 3.4% to 206.76 this past week. After a huge move, BA stock needs to set up again.
ServiceNow earnings are slated for Wednesday night. Analysts expect a 38% EPS gain, the second straight quarter of accelerating growth. Executives have been bullish on 2023 IT spending. The report will be key for highly valued business software names. NOW stock popped 6.5% to 441.83 after surging 13% in the prior week. Shares cleared the 200-day line on Friday, hitting a four-month high and clearing a long downtrend. That offered a very early entry, but the upcoming earnings make that highly risky.
Chevron earnings are due out Friday morning. Analysts expect another quarter of booming EPS growth vs. a year earlier, but down from Q2-Q3. CVX stock rose 1.8% to 180.81 last week, retaking its 50-day line. Chevron is in a flat base, but a move above Wednesday’s high of 182.38 would offer an early entry. Chevron earnings will be important for the oil and gas sector, especially oil majors such as Exxon Mobil (XOM).
Mastercard earnings are due early Thursday, with Visa earnings after the close. Mastercard EPS is seen up nearly 10% with Visa’s up 11%. The credit card giants’ results and comments will be important for other payments firms and for insight into consumer spending trends. Both Visa and Mastercard stock are working on handles in long consolidations, trading around key resistance levels going back to early 2022.
ASML earnings are due early Wednesday, with Lam Research and Teradyne after the close. KLA reports late Thursday. ASML earnings are expected to fall 11%, but Lam Research earnings should climb 15% and KLA’s 27%. Guidance will be key in what is likely to be a challenging 2023. Together these earnings reports, along with chipmakers such as Intel (INTC), will give insight into the semiconductor space and end markets.
ASML stock is extended from the 200-day line. LRCX stock is trading just above its 50-day and 200-day lines in a bottoming base. KLAC stock has a small handle on a weekly chart for a consolidation going back a year.
Market Rally Analysis
The stock market rally was due for a pullback, and it got one. The major indexes reversed sharply lower on Wednesday and kept falling Thursday. But they closed off Thursday’s lows and rebounded strongly Friday.
The Nasdaq eked out a weekly gain, decisively retaking the 50-day moving average on Friday. Friday’s action was another subsequent follow-through day for the Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 reclaimed its 50-day line and sneaked back above its 200-day line. The Russell 2000 found support at the 200-day and could try to test its late 2022 peaks soon.
The Dow Jones was the week’s biggest loser, tumbling below its 50-day and ending the week well below that level.
Outside of the Dow, the recent pullback looks normal and healthy so far.
The pause is giving a chance for leading stocks to forge handles while few are breaking down. If anything, a slightly longer pullback could be useful in this regard.
But the major indexes have a number of key resistance levels. The S&P 500 needs to decisively retake the 200-day line, with this past week’s highs and the December peak serving as key milestones.
Earnings season could be the catalyst for big market gains or losses — or both.
This coming week will also offer the first reading on fourth-quarter GDP, along with the December PCE inflation gauge. Those will pave the way for the Federal Reserve policy meeting on Feb. 1.
Tesla Vs. BYD: EV Giants Vie For Crown, But Which Is The Better Buy?
Tech Revival Continues
The stock market rally appears to be rotating toward tech growth plays after a long break. The Nasdaq composite hit a bear market closing low as recently as Dec. 28. But in 2023, the Nasdaq is up 6.4%. The SMH chip ETF has rallied 12%, the IGV software ETF 5.5% and the speculative ARKK 16.8%.
What’s driving the tech growth revival?
Treasury yields are falling, a positive for highly valued growth stocks. Meanwhile, there are hopes for an economic soft landing, as China and Europe improve and as Fed rate hikes appear close to a peak. That raises bets that much of the bad news is priced in for growth stocks
The Russell 2000, another risk-on play, is nearly even with the Nasdaq, up 6.1% in 2023.
The S&P 500 has climbed 2.5% to start the new year. The Dow Jones has edged up 0.7%, and only positive thanks to Friday’s solid gain.
There aren’t a lot of tech growth names in position yet. LRCX stock is among the emerging big-cap chip leaders setting up. Software is scarce, though NOW stock is making a case. E-commerce is picking up, with MercadoLibre (MELI) breaking out and Etsy (ETSY) setting up. Chinese e-commerce and internet firms also are doing well.
The big earnings reports over the next two weeks are tech heavy, so investors will see if the growth revival has legs.
Meanwhile, many financials struggled last week, while defense contractors and defensive-minded food and consumer goods stocks are stumbling.
But metals and mining stocks look strong. Airlines have flown, while investors are moving into hotels as well. Retail is a mixed bag. So are medicals: Biotechs look interesting but health insurers are weak.
Time The Market With IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What To Do Now
The market rally showed some resilience late last week, along with many quality stocks. It’s still possible that the current pullback will resume, triggering more-lasting damage. Earnings season could trigger huge moves in specific stocks, but also their rivals, suppliers and customers.
So while the market, especially the Nasdaq, may be signaling “risk on,” investors should be cautious about adding exposure. One possible option is via market or sector ETFs, to avoid single-stock risk. If you do add exposure, be ready to step out quickly. If you’re not ready and willing to quickly exit, you need to be more conservative in entering positions.
But the next few weeks could offer many buying opportunities. So get your watchlists ready and stay engaged.

Spinal tap test offers new hope to patients with early dementia
Alzheimer’s treatment ‘turned up to 11’ with new spinal tap test to spot early signs dementia offering rapid drug therapy
- Almost one million Britons have dementia with Alzheimer’s being most common
- A spinal tap pilot study is correctly identifying 90 per cent of dementia cases
- Earlier treatment can delay the devastating impact of dementia on patients
A spinal tap test to spot early-stage Alzheimer’s disease could soon be brought in by the NHS so a radical new treatment can be started in time.
Almost one million Britons have dementia – with Alzheimer’s being the most common form – which damages the brain, causing memory loss, confusion and behaviour changes.
A spinal tap, currently undergoing a pilot study, uses a long needle to remove fluid from the spinal cord and has been proved to correctly identify 90 per cent of dementia cases and experts believe it is quicker than the NHS’s traditional screening tools of memory tests and brain scans.
Although the procedure, also known as a lumbar puncture, is potentially painful, experts say the results could be worth it as it will allow doctors to offer anti-dementia drugs at the earliest stages of the disease, when they are most effective.

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is also essential for a groundbreaking new drug, lecanemab, which has been found to slow the progression of the disease by almost a third and may be available on the NHS next year.
Alzheimer’s is believed to be triggered by a build up of amyloid, a toxic protein in the brain. Lecanemab, which is administered by injection every two weeks, is proven to bind to and destroy amyloid, slowing the disease’s progression. But currently just one in 20 Alzheimer’s patients are said to be able to benefit from the drug because many are diagnosed too late for it to be effective.
While most Alzheimer’s diagnoses in the UK are picked up using memory tests, many countries already use the spinal tap. This looks for build ups of amyloid in the spinal fluid as well as another protein, tau, which is suspected to be linked to Alzheimer’s. But many patients are opposed to undergoing the test due to side effects which can include headaches, swelling and prolonged back pain.
‘This test is cheap, effective and used around the world, so it is peculiar it’s not used on the NHS,’ says Professor Dag Aarsland, head of old age psychiatry at King’s College London. ‘Catching the disease early is always crucial, but it will be particularly so with this new drug.
While most Alzheimer’s diagnoses in the UK are picked up using memory tests, many countries already use the spinal tap
‘The earlier you find Alzheimer’s, the more brain there will be to save.’
Researchers at King’s College London are now running a pilot study which will analyse how feasible rolling out the lumbar puncture test – created by the medical firm Roche –would be on the NHS.
‘We want to know if patients are happy to undergo it and doctors are comfortable using it,’ says Prof Aarsland. ‘If lecanemab is approved then this will absolutely be adopted more across the NHS.’
2022 ACC/Big Ten Challenge schedule, predictions: Michigan vs. Virginia, Syracuse vs. Illinois on tap Tuesday
The 2022 edition of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge is underway after it was announced Monday that this would be the last one. This year’s series includes 14 games over a three-day span, spread out with two games Monday, six games Tuesday and six more games to close it out Wednesday.
Monday’s two games were a nice sampler for the main course Tuesday and Wednesday.
In Monday’s opener, Sean Pedulla scored 17 points and Justyn Mutts added 16 points as Virginia Tech defeated Minnesota 67-57. Pedulla was 8 for 13 for the Hokies (7-1) who are undefeated through five home games this season. Virginia Tech outrebounded Minnesota 42-27 and had 11 on offense.
Ta’lon Cooper and Pharrel Payne each had 13 points to lead Minnesota (4-2) and Ola-Joseph added 11 as the Gophers got 27 of their 57 points from their bench.
Minnesota opens the Big Ten season Sunday at No. 5 Purdue and Virginia Tech opens the ACC season Sunday when it plays host to No. 18 North Carolina.
The ACC took a 2-0 lead in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge when Pitt had an easy 87-58 road victory vs. Northwestern as Blake Hinson shot 4 for 5 from 3-point range and scored 22 points as the Panthers posted their highest-scoring game in the last two seasons.

Tuesday’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge schedule
Penn State at Clemson
7 p.m. | ESPNU and fuboTV (Try for free)
This is an even matchup between two teams so I’m just taking the home team and rolling with Clemson. The Tigers were 11-5 at home last season and this season they’ve looked pretty good on the whole even in its two losses to South Carolina and to Iowa. Expecting a knockdown, drag-out type game that sets Clemson up to play its own pace in front of its home crowd. . Pick: Clemson -1
No. 22 Maryland at Louisville
7 p.m. | ESPN2 and fuboTV (Try for free)
Louisville is 0-6 on the season with the worst turnover rate among power programs and a dreadful accuracy thus far shooting the ball. A tilt against Maryland — even at home — doesn’t seem like it’ll be the get-right spot for the Cards. I think they can cover the double digit spread, but the 6-0 Terps are not so quietly off to a solid start to the season with a balanced attack on both offense and defense that should make this relatively smooth sailing. Pick: Maryland -12
Syracuse at No. 16 Illinois
7:30 p.m. | ESPN and fuboTV (Try for free)
Don’t love taking favorites to cover this big a spread, but my convictions tell me that Illinois is this good . . . and Syracuse is that mediocre. Illini at home almost always nails under Brad Underwood. They get a Syracuse team that has been through the ringer of late with two OT games in its last three and coming off a loss to Bryant. Illinois 79, Syracuse 65 feels about right. Pick: Illinois -11
Wake Forest at Wisconsin
9 p.m. | ESPN2 and fuboTV (Try for free)
This game has real potential to be one of the best of the challenge this week. Really good guard play on both ends could lead to some quality offensive play from both Wake and Wisconsin. The Badgers have the talent edge and the venue advantage, though, so I like them in this spot to win and cover the six points. Pick: Wisconsin -6.5
Georgia Tech at Iowa
9 p.m. | ESPNU and fuboTV (Try for free)
This one feels like a trap. Iowa is the clear pick here — it has shown it can handle teams of equal or greater talent as Georgia Tech by this margin already — so I’m just going to go against my instincts and take the GT points. Iowa’s defense isn’t quite good enough to consistently put teams away right now so taking the Yellow Jackets is the move. Pick: Georgia Tech +16
No. 3 Virginia at Michigan
9:30 p.m. | ESPN and fuboTV (Try for free)
My upset pick of the slate on Tuesday. Virginia’s arguably got a top-five resume in college hoops so far this season with its remade offense and stifling defense. But Michigan presents real challenges for it both with size (Hunter Dickinson) and length (Jett Howard) and experience (Jaelin Llewellyn). Inside Michigan’s own arena I think this is a nice spot for it to announce itself on a big stage against a real quality team. Pick: Michigan +4.5

The 2022 edition of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge is underway after it was announced Monday that this would be the last one. This year’s series includes 14 games over a three-day span, spread out with two games Monday, six games Tuesday and six more games to close it out Wednesday.
Monday’s two games were a nice sampler for the main course Tuesday and Wednesday.
In Monday’s opener, Sean Pedulla scored 17 points and Justyn Mutts added 16 points as Virginia Tech defeated Minnesota 67-57. Pedulla was 8 for 13 for the Hokies (7-1) who are undefeated through five home games this season. Virginia Tech outrebounded Minnesota 42-27 and had 11 on offense.
Ta’lon Cooper and Pharrel Payne each had 13 points to lead Minnesota (4-2) and Ola-Joseph added 11 as the Gophers got 27 of their 57 points from their bench.
Minnesota opens the Big Ten season Sunday at No. 5 Purdue and Virginia Tech opens the ACC season Sunday when it plays host to No. 18 North Carolina.
The ACC took a 2-0 lead in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge when Pitt had an easy 87-58 road victory vs. Northwestern as Blake Hinson shot 4 for 5 from 3-point range and scored 22 points as the Panthers posted their highest-scoring game in the last two seasons.

Pitt 87, Northwestern 58 — Recap
Tuesday’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge schedule
Penn State at Clemson
7 p.m. | ESPNU and fuboTV (Try for free)
This is an even matchup between two teams so I’m just taking the home team and rolling with Clemson. The Tigers were 11-5 at home last season and this season they’ve looked pretty good on the whole even in its two losses to South Carolina and to Iowa. Expecting a knockdown, drag-out type game that sets Clemson up to play its own pace in front of its home crowd. . Pick: Clemson -1
No. 22 Maryland at Louisville
7 p.m. | ESPN2 and fuboTV (Try for free)
Louisville is 0-6 on the season with the worst turnover rate among power programs and a dreadful accuracy thus far shooting the ball. A tilt against Maryland — even at home — doesn’t seem like it’ll be the get-right spot for the Cards. I think they can cover the double digit spread, but the 6-0 Terps are not so quietly off to a solid start to the season with a balanced attack on both offense and defense that should make this relatively smooth sailing. Pick: Maryland -12
Syracuse at No. 16 Illinois
7:30 p.m. | ESPN and fuboTV (Try for free)
Don’t love taking favorites to cover this big a spread, but my convictions tell me that Illinois is this good . . . and Syracuse is that mediocre. Illini at home almost always nails under Brad Underwood. They get a Syracuse team that has been through the ringer of late with two OT games in its last three and coming off a loss to Bryant. Illinois 79, Syracuse 65 feels about right. Pick: Illinois -11
Wake Forest at Wisconsin
9 p.m. | ESPN2 and fuboTV (Try for free)
This game has real potential to be one of the best of the challenge this week. Really good guard play on both ends could lead to some quality offensive play from both Wake and Wisconsin. The Badgers have the talent edge and the venue advantage, though, so I like them in this spot to win and cover the six points. Pick: Wisconsin -6.5
Georgia Tech at Iowa
9 p.m. | ESPNU and fuboTV (Try for free)
This one feels like a trap. Iowa is the clear pick here — it has shown it can handle teams of equal or greater talent as Georgia Tech by this margin already — so I’m just going to go against my instincts and take the GT points. Iowa’s defense isn’t quite good enough to consistently put teams away right now so taking the Yellow Jackets is the move. Pick: Georgia Tech +16
No. 3 Virginia at Michigan
9:30 p.m. | ESPN and fuboTV (Try for free)
My upset pick of the slate on Tuesday. Virginia’s arguably got a top-five resume in college hoops so far this season with its remade offense and stifling defense. But Michigan presents real challenges for it both with size (Hunter Dickinson) and length (Jett Howard) and experience (Jaelin Llewellyn). Inside Michigan’s own arena I think this is a nice spot for it to announce itself on a big stage against a real quality team. Pick: Michigan +4.5
Wednesday’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge schedule
No. 25 Ohio State at No. 17 Duke | 7:15 p.m. | ESPN
No. 5 Purdue at Florida State | 7:15 p.m. | ESPN2
Rutgers at Miami | 7:15 p.m. | ESPNU
No. 18 North Carolina at No. 10 Indiana | 9:15 p.m. | ESPN
No. 20 Michigan State at Notre Dame | 9:15 p.m. | ESPN2
Boston College at Nebraska | 9:15 p.m. | ESPNU

Ben Gvir to tap top aide with long history of extremism as chief of staff — report
Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir, set to be appointed to the newly created role of national security minister in the upcoming government, is reportedly expected to tap as his chief of staff an aide with a history of far-right settler activism that saw him be slapped with restraining orders and led the Shin Bet security service to describe him in the past as a danger to society.
Chanamel Dorfman, who has been referred to by Ben Gvir as his “righthand man,” has also in past called the Israel Police — over which Ben Gvir will preside in his new role — “antisemitic,” “rotten” and “a mafia.”
Ben Gvir, who leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, inked a deal Friday to join a government under presumed incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party, becoming head of the brand new National Security Ministry, a planned portfolio that will include overseeing the police and Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
Dorfman is the most likely candidate to become Ben Gvir’s chief of staff at the new ministry, the Haaretz daily reported Sunday. It was unclear whether he would face difficulties obtaining the necessary security clearances.
A former Shin Bet official told the outlet that Dorfman had been a subject of the service’s investigations due to his involvement with the extreme-right hilltop youth — ultra-nationalist Jewish settlers who build illegal outposts in the West Bank and often clash with Palestinians and Israeli security forces — though he is not considered among the leaders of the movement.
Dorfman, 27, has been active in the hilltop youth movement since he was a teenager.
As a minor, he was the subject of administrative restraining orders from the Israel Defense Forces Central Command, keeping him out of the West Bank due to allegations he was involved in rioting to protest the removal of illegal outposts.
He was reportedly arrested in 2012 on suspicion of directing activists at the Ramat Migron illegal outpost and using violence against security forces. However, with Ben Gvir as his legal representative, he successfully sued the state for damages over a strip search he underwent and was awarded NIS 28,000 ($8,182) in a preliminary hearing.

Dorfman was later arrested again and in 2013 sued the Shin Bet and police for damages over the conditions he was kept in. He also won that case, with the court awarding him NIS 10,000 ($2,922).
That year, he told a Channel 2 investigative program exploring the Jewish Department of the Shin Bet that he was willing to pay a “personal price” for his cause, including giving up his life.

In 2018, Shin Bet intelligence determined that Dorfman was planning to disturb the peace during a visit by then-US president Barack Obama. He was brought in for questioning and was released on the condition that he stay in the Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where he lived at the time, for the duration of Obama’s visit. Ben Gvir petitioned the court to cancel the order as infringing on Dorfman’s freedom of expression. A confidential Shin Bet report submitted to the court at the time stated that “the police believe that this is not an innocent citizen who wants to express his opinion, but an instigator who can harm society as a whole.”
Dorfman was eventually ordered to stay at least 300 meters away from Obama’s route.
More recently, Dorfman has made inflammatory remarks about the Israel Police, which Ben Gvir will now be in charge of, including tweeting in 2021 that the force was “the most antisemitic in the world” after clashes between settlers and police at the hardline Yitzhar settlement.
Later the same year, he wrote that the police had “a culture of lies.”
In 2020, remarking on violent clashes between police and ultra-Orthodox Jews in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, Dorfman called the force “despicable” and “racist.”
In 2019, when the media reported on the police raiding a wedding held by so-called hilltop youth, he tweeted that police were “a mafia.”
Dorfman is married to the daughter of Bentzi Gopstein, head of the radical right-wing, anti-LGBT and anti-miscegenation Lehava organization. At his 2013 wedding, he danced with knives, Channel 12 has reported.

In 2012, aged 17, he attended a rally against African and illegal migrants in south Tel Aviv and was quoted by Haaretz as saying: “The only problem with the Nazis is that I was on the losing side.”
Otzma Yehudit responded Sunday in a statement, saying remarks attributed to Dorfman from his youth were “false” and that he was in the process of suing Channel 13 news and its reporter Yossi Eli for making similar claims.
The statement referred to the Haaretz report on Dorfman as “recycled and false materials from the time when Otzma Yehudit members were minors.”
Dorfman did not issue a separate response.
The Haaretz report came after earlier this month, Channel 13 revealed that Dorfman had helped establish an organization that donates money to incarcerated Jewish terrorists and extremists, including former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin Yigal Amir.
Dorfman filed the application for the group, Shlom Asiraich, to be recognized as a non-governmental organization in Israel two years ago and is listed on the form as the group’s legal adviser, the network revealed in an exposé.
Netanyahu and his Likud party led a bloc of right-wing and religious parties to victory in the November 1 elections. In addition to reaching an agreement with Otzma Yehudit, Likud has also made a deal with the extreme-right, anti-LGBT Noam party, whose sole MK Avi Maoz will head a new department responsible for the Jewish identity of the country.
Israeli politics told straight
I joined The Times of Israel after many years covering US and Israeli politics for Hebrew news outlets.
I believe responsible coverage of Israeli politicians means presenting a 360 degree view of their words and deeds – not only conveying what occurs, but also what that means in the broader context of Israeli society and the region.
That’s hard to do because you can rarely take politicians at face value – you must go the extra mile to present full context and try to overcome your own biases.
I’m proud of our work that tells the story of Israeli politics straight and comprehensively. I believe Israel is stronger and more democratic when professional journalists do that tough job well.
Your support for our work by joining The Times of Israel Community helps ensure we can continue to do so.
Thank you,
