Normally, the New York Times trusts Human Rights Watch and relies on the organization often. But the Times’s respectful view disappeared suddenly yesterday — after Human Rights Watch released a landmark report finding that “Israeli officials have committed the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution.” The paper’s slanted report quotes two people in support of the finding, one of them Palestinian, and five people attacking the charge. Imagine writing a report on apartheid South Africa and quoting only one black South African.

Why won’t the U.S. mainstream media report on Jewish supremacists in Israel?

It’s become monotonous. The ‘NY Times’ reports on U.S.-Iranian relations — and leaves out the Israel angle entirely.

Israeli security officials let out a sigh of relief when nuclear deal was signed in 2015, but Netanyahu uses Iran for political purposes. So says former deputy chief of staff Yair Golan in Washington Post. US media need to highlight this news.

Liberal Zionists can relax. With the apartheid designation by a leading Israeli human rights group, B’Tselem, still a secret to most Americans, groups like J Street don’t have to explain why they still oppose the nonviolent global campaign for Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS).

Last week, Israel’s leading human rights group, B’Tselem, declared for the first time that Israel is an apartheid regime, a move that sent shock waves around the globe. But so far neither the New York Times or Washington Post have reported on it.

“How do 3 million West Bank Palestinians feel about the fact that their ‘neighbors,’ several hundred thousand Jewish settlers, are getting vaccinated and they are not?” The New York Times is unable to ask that simple question about apartheid in an article gushing over Israel’s rollout of vaccinations.

“The operation that killed Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was a dazzling piece of covert work,” the Washington Post says, in a grotesque glorification of Israel’s murder of Iranian scientist. While the NYT suggests using unnamed sources that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program, when US intelligence reported otherwise.

The New York Times is downplaying the Trump administration’s efforts to provoke conflict with Iran — and when it does report on the danger it relies on the Israel lobby for spin.
