Right after Israel’s foreign minister derided social media portrayal of Israel at an ADL conference, two New York Times staffers came on to criticize social media for spreading antisemitism and conspiracy theories. Their appearance was an implicit endorsement of the Israel lobby group, with the imprimatur of the New York Times.
‘NYT’s Israel bureau chief Patrick Kingsley demolishes the idea that Israel is “shrinking” the conflict in an article in which he visits several places in Israel where Palestinians once lived and were uprooted and shows the deep alienation that discrimination has fostered in ordinary Israelis.
If the mainstream media reported on Israel’s Jewish-only colonies more accurately, Americans would have a better understanding of the Israeli system of apartheid.
Millions downloaded ‘Caliphate,’ a 2018 ‘NY Times’ podcast that was based on a hoax — and the paper keeps downplaying its malpractice.
Mike Pompeo is issuing alarmist claims about Iran as he considers a run for the presidency. His views are not very different from those of Yossi Alpher, who says the U.S. should have killed Khomeini in 1979 and Israel should be propping up dictatorship thru the Middle East by spying on dissidents. And a liberal Zionist organization, Americans for Peace Now, gives a platform to Alpher’s amorality.
Israel bombs Palestinian attackers and kills some “innocent” civilians in Gaza, according to Israel advocate Robert Wexler. Do Palestinians have the same right: to attack their attackers in Israel?
Progressives lost a vote on Israel in the House yesterday, overwhelmingly, by 420-9. But the ten Democrats who refused to vote for the funding represent a solid beachhead of opposition inside Congress to the special relationship between the U.S. and the apartheid “Jewish state.” Pro-Palestinian human rights forces are not going away — and the sooner the American public is exposed to this debate, the better.
Here we go again. The New York Times just ran a long, gee-whiz article about an Israeli war crime — the murder of an Iranian scientist inside Iran last year– penned by its Israeli security expert, Ronen Bergman, who has bragged about making appearances for the Israel lobby organization AIPAC and thanked AIPAC for having Israel’s back in the U.S.
One U.S. publication just covered the stalled Iran nuclear deal talks honestly. Another ran a distorted, fearmongering article. Guess which one was the New York Times?
The U.S. foreign policy elite and some of the mainstream press are already trying to rewrite the history of Afghanistan War. But U.S. forces could never have defeated the resistance. Just consider the significance of IEDs, which killed and maimed more US and allied soldiers than any other weapon during the long war.
