Unfortunately, the New York Times is easily the most important U.S. media outlet covering Palestine. So it’s time for another up-to-date dissection of ongoing Times bias.
Israel’s provocative assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr have raised the risk of a wider war in the Mideast, but the U.S. media would rather celebrate Israeli espionage than hold it to account.
The New York Times and the rest of the U.S. mainstream media downplayed, covered up, and even ignored the historic ICJ opinion declaring the Israeli occupation illegal.
Israel ordered the “Hannibal Directive” on October 7 by ordering the killing of captive Israeli soldiers and civilians. But the U.S. media continues to hide the truth.
An unsourced article in the British Telegraph claiming Hezbollah is storing weapons in Beirut’s airport is the latest example of the mainstream media setting the groundwork for an Israeli war on Lebanon.
