New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief Patrick Kingsley used a fresh apartheid report, by U.N. special rapporteur Michael Lynk, to finally slip Amnesty International’s apartheid finding into the paper. Kingsley wrote that Lynk, a distinguished Canadian law professor appointed by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council, had “accused Israel of committing the crime of apartheid in the occupied territories.” He quickly summarized Lynk’s finding, gave Israel’s foreign ministry and other critics a chance to respond — and then, right at the end, mentioned that Amnesty, among others, had produced a “similar” report.

“Regime change in Iran shouldn’t be a taboo” is an idea that gets traction in the Washington foreign policy establishment. Ukraine’s brave resistance to Russian invasion ought to dispel that idea forever. Even people who don’t like their rules won’t accept foreign control.

Observers are puzzled — and disturbed — at why the ‘Atlantic’ just published a long article that tries to rehabilitate the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

As global powers make progress toward a renewed Iran deal, the Israeli Prime Minister is objecting to it, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, an Israel lobby organization, is calling a new agreement “a surrender pact,” and the New York Times, characteristically, has published a biased article that raises objections to the proposed deal without giving its supporters much space to defend it.

The New York Times sets the media agenda inside the United States. If the paper had published at least one single story, or run just one opinion piece, the Amnesty report on Israeli apartheid would not be fading from view.

The New York Times’s failure to report on the Amnesty International report accusing Israel of apartheid is no oversight — it is a deliberate effort to suppress the news.

The New York Times relies on Amnesty International often but is ignoring the organization’s report charging Israel with “apartheid.”

Seven U.S. foreign policy hawks, with decades of disaster behind them, are urging the Biden administration to threaten a military attack on Iran.

Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken: “The product of Zionism, the State of Israel, is not a Jewish and democratic state, but has instead become an apartheid state, plain and simple.”

Israel’s threat to attack Iran has been made so many times that it has lost much of its danger to shock — but it would be a huge mistake to dismiss the Israelis’ statements. Even if Bennett is bluffing again, the supercharged atmosphere in the region raises the danger of a terrible accident. What’s more, Israel continues its violent sabotage program against Iran.
