    re: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/209153/abused-donkeys-removed-from-kfar-chabad-by-authorities.html

    YWN posted a purported story (on January 7, 2014) about a donkey being abused at Kfar Chabad. No source is listed. I have made inquiries here (at the Coffee Room), called YWN’s posted telephone number, and written YWN by email. I have not received any response — here or elsewhere.

    Will anyone explain the source of this story? It is not reported in the Israeli press (on their English websites). And if there is no verifiable source, a retraction is in order

    I googled this and could find no other posting but the article on YWN I think you ask a fair question.

    YWN breaks news with its own reporting. If you saw a story only in Ha’aretz would you therefore discredit it?

    Yose, you wrote: “YWN breaks news with its own reporting. If you saw a story only in Ha’aretz would you therefore discredit it?”

    If I saw a story only reported in Ha’aretz, I would do the same thing: write them and ask them who is their source and ask them to check their source.

    Also, Ha’aretz frequently uses by-lines — so one can write the author. YWN does not list any author or journalist in regard to the donkey-Kfar Chabad claim.

    So what or who is the source for this story?

    It is on a number of Hebrew websites. If you google it in Hebrew you will be able to see. Here is one example – link removed
