The @nytimes had no qualms about naming the “deep roots” of Russian atrocities in Ukraine, highlighting Russia’s “military culture of violence” and “propaganda.” Meanwhile, The Times continues to frame the IDF’s well-documented war crimes as “tragic” “mistakes.”

Some of the most egregious reporting is that which The Times does not do. It’s largely ignored Israel’s unprecedented mass murder of journalists. It’s tearfully spilled gallons of ink on Israeli hostages while barely covering Israel’s mass extralegal detention of Palestinians.

How is this is any different then if Iran bombed the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C.? Seems unlikely The Times would go rushing to justify that, yet here they are.

A reader of The Times’ recent coverage might get the impression that the United States is a benevolent, rational peacemaker. This, of course, is an absurd characterization, as the US has bankrolled and legitimized Israel’s genocide. Analysis in 🧵:

For months, Palestinians, top UN officials and human rights groups have unequivocally argued that Israel is “using starvation as a weapon of war” and “engineering a famine.” The New York Times continues to obscure and minimize Israel’s responsibility for the famine. More in🧵:

The Times has also neglected to report on Israeli leaders’ frequent declarations of genocidal intent, a tendency which is both well-documented and critical to understanding Israel’s war.

Don’t fall for this rhetoric — Israel is not “miscalculating,” and by portraying their aggression this way, Israel is presented as a well-intentioned but blundering state. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it attacked Iran — hoping to draw the west into a regional war.

To characterize Israel's genocide as a targeted war against Hamas (as The New York Times and other western outlets have consistently done) — even as Israeli leaders continue to nakedly contradict this account — is a vile historical whitewashing.

There remains a stark contrast between The New York Times swift and forceful condemnations of Russia and its unwillingness to condemn even the most extreme and obvious Israeli crimes. Another gross but relevant example:

This is how the @nytimes frames violent crackdowns on students. At NYU last night, protesters (incl. faculty) were brutalized by the NYPD’s notoriously thuggish riot cops. Universities are not “struggling.” They are systematically attempting to crush Palestinian solidarity.
