No, I know there are cranks in every city.
Haaretz finds Haredi cranks and then publishes pre-determined stories, with a slant to inflame passions of those ignorant of the truth.
I’ve lived in the old city. Indeed, I lived there for several years in school. The Haredi in question are ANTI-ZIONIST, hate fellow Jews (especially secular Jews), muslims, and Christians with equal passion, and are basically mean to everyone.
Of course, Haaretz (which also dislikes evangelical Christians, and, indeed, any Christians who support Israel for religious reasons) publishes the anti-Christian stories in order to ferment mutual distrust between Christians and Jews.
Repeating the last line: “publishes the anti-Christian stories in order to ferment mutual distrust between Christians and Jews.”
You are their indeeded target. And they gotcha.
Haaretz, Haaretz, Haaretz.
So what explains the appearance of such stories in other places?
