The New York Times can’t stop making “errors” in its coverage of Israel and Gaza, and all of those errors just so happen to go in the same antisemitic direction.
In an ostensible news piece published earlier this week about a pro-Palestinian “documentary,” correspondent Isabel Kershner included the following line: “But Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7.” It is an absurd, outrageous sentence to send to print, given that Israelis were the victims of Oct. 7, when Palestinian terrorists invaded the country, slaughtered 1,200 civilians (including women, children, and the elderly), and took hundreds of hostages. This sentence would be the equivalent of “New Yorkers still largely view themselves as the victims of 9/11.”
NYT PROVING ‘ROCK BOTTOM ACTUALLY HAS A BASEMENT’ WITH LATEST ANTISEMITIC SPEECH: JOE CONCHA
The New York Times went into damage control, issuing the following editor’s note: “Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article included a statement that was intended to convey Israelis’ perception of the government’s military response to the Oct. 7 terror attack in relation to the attacks, but inadvertently suggested that Israelis’ experience as terror victims was a matter of perception. It has been removed from the article.”
The New York Times, which presents itself as a gold standard of journalistic and editorial integrity, wants you to believe this “error” just so happened to slip through the cracks. However, the New York Times has a litany of “errors” on this topic, and they all just so happen to cut against Israel. The outlet famously parroted Hamas propaganda when it “reported” that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza and killed 500 civilians. In reality, a missile had hit a parking lot near a hospital, a few dozen people were killed, and the missile had been launched by Palestinian terrorists.
THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS A NICHOLAS KRISTOF PROBLEM
The New York Times also ran a story about child starvation in Gaza using a photo of an emaciated boy to incite another round of condemnations of Israel. Unmentioned was that the boy had cerebral palsy, and that the outlet couldn’t actually find a single photo of a child in Gaza who was wasting away because of mass starvation. The New York Times also published the deranged conspiratorial rantings of Nicholas Kristof, who asserted, with no evidence and in defiance of basic biology, that Israel was using dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners.
The New York Times has, since Oct. 7, propagandized on behalf of Palestinian terrorists and tried to dismiss or downplay the legitimacy of Israel’s military response. The outlet publishing constant anti-Israel disinformation and spreading dog rape conspiracy theories doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt in cases like this, especially when every “error” only happens to go in one antisemitic direction.
