Kalman Libeskind (Heb: קלמן ליבסקינד; born on 1970) is an Israeli journalist.
Biography
Libeskind was born in Nir Galim and studied at the Yeshivat Or Etzion. He was drafted into the Intelligence Corps of the Israel Defense Forces and upon discharge, worked as a private investigator. In 1997, he was one of the founding journalists at Makor Rishon and worked as an investigative reporter. In 2000, he began working at Maariv. Libeskind is married with five children.
Libeskind has published several high-profile exposés:
- In 1999, he exposed Ehud Barak's non-profit organizations that funded Barak's elections' campaign, in violation of Israel's political parties funding law.
- In 2008, he exposed that general Yoav Galant has taken over public lands in Moshav Amikam. This exposure led eventually to the cancellation of Galant's appointment as Chief of General Staff of the IDF.
Libeskind has won several awards and honors:
- Media Criticism Award (2002) - פרס ביקורת התקשורת
- Ometz Award (2007) - אות אומ"ץ
- Knight of Quality Government Award (2009) - אות אביר איכות השלטון
In recent years, Liebskind has published a weekly column in Maariv's "Mosafshabat" which deals with weekly political and current affairs. Liebskind devotes most of his columns to criticizing the Israeli media, which he claims have a left-wing bias.
