Im Tirtzu director suspends self after controversy

Matan Peleg tells Channel 2 that someone must take responsibility for the controversial campaign that “outed” left-wing artists and cultural figures as “foreign agent moles.” It was not immediately clear how long his self-imposed suspension would last.
The right-wing group apologized Friday for the campaign, which sparked a firestorm of criticism and was likened to McCarthyism.
