much like the article about the Israeli soldiers using Palestinians as human shields.
It was put in the opinion section, much like the article about the Israeli snipers targeting Palestinian children in the head and the doctors who went and recorded it.
It was relegated to the opinion section.
Words from the IDF,
words from the israeli military words from the israeli politicians and governments and policy makers they're all treated as facts they're put at the very top of the article in the prominent first page news section and facts and genocide is relegated to a matter of debate and a matter of opinion it's buried
um but i want to talk a little bit more about like kind of the systemic involvement of the new york times right because there's one thing you know to be complicit and like turn a blind eye and obfuscate and not report things or like use passive voice i mean i remember this like a crazy
There was a time when Israel bombed a cafe in Gaza.
This is like 2014.
And the headline was like, cafe goers find themselves poised for tragedy.
That was the headline.
It's insane.
It's crazy.
But beyond the obfuscation and the redlining and talking out the sides of their mouths,
Correspondents that are currently reporting on the matter, on Israel, on Palestine, have direct ties to Isabel Krishna.
Two of her sons served in the Israeli military while she's actively reporting on us.
Her husband works at a think tank whose job explicitly stated is to enhance the image of Israel in the Western world.
And she reports for The Times, Ronan Bergman worked in the Israeli military intelligence
And he's reporting at the Times.
And the examples are countless.
So it's not just complicity of like bad editorial standards, but there is literally material ties that the New York Times and other mainstream papers have to the state of Israel.
