Joel Bainerman was an Canadian-Israeli writer.

Background

He was born in Toronto and immigrated to Israel in l981 at the age of 24.[1]

Bainerman worked as a journalist at The Israel Economist and The Jerusalem Post. He also established two newsletters, Israel Technology and Inside Israel.[1]

Own words

I have spent more than 20 years working as a researcher and writer on Israeli and Middle East affairs. What is unique about my story is that I have written and researched on so many different aspects of Israeli society and Middle East affairs: the Arab-Israeli Conflict conflict, the Israeli economy, Israeli high tech, trends and changes in the social fabric of both Israeli and Palestinian societies, Palestinian politics, the economic dimensions of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Palestinian business, and America’s Middle East policies. What characterizes my writing style in the more than 500 articles I have published in the last two decades is that it is nearly always "contrarian" and 'unconventional". I have always strived to give my readers “the true picture” of what is going" rather than the standard fare that the major written and electronic media serve up for their audiences.[1]

Publications

Spartacus writes that "in 1989 Bainerman published The Crimes of a President, a book about George H. W. Bush and his relationship with Ted Shackley, Donald P. Gregg, Felix Rodriguez, Richard Secord, William Casey, Thomas G. Clines, Rafael Quintero, Luis Posada, Richard L. Armitage, Menachem Meron, Albert Hakim, Oliver North and Edwin Wilson".[2]

In 2005, he published Inside the Covert Operations of the CIA & Israel's Mossad, revealing the "hand-in-hand relations between the CIA and the Mossad, in covert operations to topple Third-World governments and the Reagan administration's manipulation of details on the Iran-contra affair[3]
