Jerusalem Post's senior commentator is a salaried leftwing intellectual (Shalom Hartman Institute research fellow i.e.) who insists on defining his column as centrist
Amotz Asa-El is a research fellow at Shalom Hartman Institute and the Jerusalem Post's senior commentator….Formerly the executive editor of the Jerusalem Post, Asa-El's column … has been running on Jpost.com since the Internet's inception in 1995….
Asa-El's column is entitled "Middle Israel". Wikipedia says that Asa-El's weekly column "Middle Israel" "aims to present in English the Israeli centrist's view". As such, Asa-El has been quoted or published "by The New York Times,[11] The Washington Post,[12] The Wall Street Journal,[13] The Los Angeles Times,[14] BBC.com,[15] Politico,[16] USA Today,[17] Haaretz,[18] The Economist,[19] Time magazine,[20] The New Republic,[21] Le Figaro,[22] The Daily Telegraph,[23] L'Express,[24] Azure, Harvard Political Review,[25] The Australian, The Australian Financial Review, Jornal do Brasil, The Times of India, Politiken", Wikipedia says.
In fact however, Asa-El is a Hartman intellectual i.e. is affiliated with the Israeli left, whereas "Middle Israel" (the Israeli centrist view) is in the right:
