"The highest award in all of journalism is being accused of antisemitism by the Israeli government for factual reporting."

And so many great indie journalists should win that "highest award" here on Substack. Keep up the good work exposing the true anti-semites--those who genocide the native semitic Palestinian people.

NYT is such a rag. I wonder why anyone bothers to read it.

Agreed. NYT’s motto has been “All the pro-Israel lies we think we can get away with.”

But of course they would, it's their automatic instinctive response to all criticism.

They aren't quite there yet but give it a bit more time.

Wrong paper. That’s the dying WaPo.

"The only reason we’re hearing about it [torture] from the mainstream press [NYT] now is because they got the destruction of Gaza they [they!!] were seeking, and now the crosshairs of the war machine have moved on to places like Lebanon and Iran."

Caitlin, you really are the little boy who watched the parade and said "Mommy, the emperor is starkus."

It's an ongoing joke that the NYTimes has enjoyed the title, "paper of record"--as if that is supposed to mean anything, other than that it has been a prominent and go-to mouthpiece for the so-called liberal establishment that loves to clutch its pearls ostentatiously, hypocritically, while hoarding its wealth and stealing more pearls. NYTimes editorials AND reporting have in the past supported illegal and predatory "wars of choice," turned a blind eye to Israeli abuses, and been the high-end groomed lapdog of American and clearly in at least one obvious case foreign monied interests.

All the unjustified Israeli swaggering would come to a standstill if the USA did not stand behind it. All the neighboring countries being chewed away by Israel would put an end to its depths of hell hostage system.

As the rest of the world sees it for what it is, I'd say it could happen. It's reputation is falling fast even in America despite good-for-nothing mainstream media reporting.

This should be the funniest title I have ever seen, things that make you go 🤔!

You are 100% correct. The NYT didn’t print this opinion piece because they’re noble truth-tellers but because the proZionist b.s. they’ve been printing for years is falling apart. They’re taking baby-steps to distance the paper from their usual position of hiding or distorting the truth and hoping no one will notice their hypocrisy.

The Israeli flag has a star of David in the middle. The IDF wear the star of David on their uniforms. Israeli continues to commit genocide. When will those of the Jewish faith stop wearing star of David jewelry?

Or do they support the genocide?

Am I antisemitic for asking this?

The swastika (a symbol of good fortune) is now banned through its association with the national.

Why isn't the star of David banned?

Pissrael accuses the Jew York Crimes?! I'm intrigued

So now The New York Times is “antisemitic” too?

The same NYT that ran “Screams Without Words” as hard news, spent months soft-pedaling Israeli abuses, and quietly buried this latest report in the opinion section instead of front-page reporting.

That’s the part people should pay attention to.

Once literally every critic becomes “antisemitic,” the accusation stops functioning as a protection against hatred and starts functioning as narrative enforcement.

At that point the issue isn’t accuracy anymore. It’s whether criticism itself is allowed to remain socially survivable.

The NYT continues to, and always will be a propaganda machine for the Genocidal war criminal Zionists. This is crafted to bring "credibility" back to the NYT which has been guilt of journalistic malpractice for decades. They are simply playing the public for the fools we are. The fact that the Israelis are making a big deal about it, tells you they're all in on it. The pro genocide stories will be back shortly.

This is just a step towards greater censorship of the MSM in the US from reporting anything close to reality on the ground in the Middle East. Factual based reporting about zionist Israhell is no longer allowed. They bought and paid for the MSM with the new $730 million hasbara budget and are on their way to trying to censor any reporting at all. Somehow this piece of shit apartheid state is able to revoke the first amendment of the US constitution by playing victim and the "anitsemite" card. Fuck that.
