To help with its coverage of Israel, the New York Times has hired: someone who had praised Hitler; someone who denied Hamas has murdered Israeli civilians; someone who has said her objectivity about Israel was out the window; and now, Bora Erden, another committed anti-Israel activist.
Four times this week, the New York Times covered anti-Israel demonstrations and incidents. Each time, it concealed from readers vile extremism, death threats, support for Hamas and its Oct. 7 attacks, and violent assaults by those the paper characterizes as "pro-Palestinian protesters."
Israel shut down the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. So said the New York Times.
No one of consequence denies the World Court called for an end to Israeli military operations in Rafah. So argued the New York Times.

When the International Court of Justice issued an order on January 26 in the “genocide” case between South Africa and Israel, it soon became common knowledge that the ICJ had found it “plausible” that Israel was committing “genocide.” This common knowledge, however, was in fact a myth.

While the Biden Administration's decision to consider settlements illegal under international law in no way restores a decades-long U.S. policy, media reports that it does just that do revive long-standing miscoverage of U.S. policy.
Buried 18 meters under a United Nations headquarters in the Gaza Strip is a Hamas tunnel and data center, Israeli army engineers announced on Saturday. That’s also how deep, in paragraphs, the New York Times buried news of the discovery.
It's one part defense of Hamas, one part rant against CAMERA, and one part insinuation that an editor’s late father pulls the New York Times strings from beyond the grave. But thank you, The Intercept, for recognizing our successes.
