In mislabeling NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani a "sharp critic of Israel," the New York Times rebrands and minimizes hateful anti-Zionism while gaslighting Jews and misleading readers. We have a new term for this: blue-and-whitewashing.
At a Jan. 2 press conference, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said “protecting Jewish New Yorkers” would be a focus of his administration. But just one day earlier, Mamdani had announced he’d be revoking two executive orders enacted by his predecessor to protect … Jewish New Yorkers.
Against the backdrop of deadly antisemitic attacks worldwide, Jews continue to be disproportionate targets of hate crimes in New York City. But instead of strengthening protections and increasing understanding of this deadly hatred, Mayor Mamdani and The New York Times did the opposite.
We expect the Guadian's coverage of Mamdani – the member of a radical-left political party which effectively supported Hamas’ massacre – over the next four years to resemble their coverage of the former Labour Party leader, highlighted by their editors’ near religious belief in the doctrine that socialists, progressives, and collectivists, by definition, can’t be antisemites.
