The New York Times continues to set new records for dishonesty in its coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, including blaming the Palestinian victims of Israel’s “Flour Massacre” for their own deaths.
As violence rises in the occupied West Bank, the New York Times struggles to frame the news.
Patrick Kingsley’s irresponsible reporting from Jerusalem signals how the New York Times will frame the rising violence in occupied Palestine.
Biased NY Times editors are sabotaging their own reporter — and hindering understanding of why Jerusalem’s Old City is a flash point.
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.
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.
‘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.
US media bury the truth of Palestinian protests in Jerusalem: Israeli leaders aim to seize homes in Sheikh Jarrah in a naked colonization strategy: “the way to secure the future of Jerusalem as a Jewish capital for the Jewish people,” as one apartheid advocate who happens to be the deputy mayor of Jerusalem told the New York Times.
NYT Jerusalem correspondent Patrick Kingsley gives last word to Palestinian in Jerusalem who 8 times has been denied permission to expand his home to prove apartheid charge to readers. His coverage of the Human Rights Watch report affirms its findings and should be welcome by readers seeking changes in establishment opinion.
