Good day all. I will be honest and say I was not aware of this controversy. It appears that a columnist at the New York Slimes wrote a story regarding Israel training dogs to rape Palestinians.
The New York Slimes was once considered the premier newspaper in the United States and most of the world. Those days are long gone. Now it’s nothing more than a left wing propaganda rage that makes Pravda under the old Soviet Union look like the height of honest. Factual reporting.
When Hamas launched their terrorist assault into Israel, they were raping every female they caught. The pro-terrorist groups all denied and still deny this happened, and the Slimes has pretty much gone along with it. Now one of their columnists published a story that is so obviously made up fake news that people are demanding a retraction and that the idiot be fired. Here are the details from Fox News:
Protesters gathered Thursday outside The New York Times building in New York City expressing outrage over an opinion piece by liberal columnist Nicholas Kristof that contained allegations of serial sexual abuse by Israelis against Palestinian detainees.
The article featured the testimony of men and women who alleged “brutal sexual abuse at the hands of Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators.” The article mentioned several claims, including that Palestinians “had their genitals yanked or were beaten on the testicles,” “some men had to have their testicles amputated by doctors,” and metal batons were used to rape men. Kristof also said a Gaza journalist claimed he was “mounted” by a dog before adding that “Other Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors have also cited reports of police dogs being coached to rape prisoners.”
That is what is known as a Blood Libel. Anti-Semites have been accusing Jews and now Israel of all sorts of utter bull and this is right down there with the worst of them. We also know that the Palestinians have been lying through their teeth about every aspect of their terrorist attack and Israel’s response. But you have people, almost exclusively on the left, who, if not promoting this crap, are swallowing it hook, line and sinker.
The article drew backlash from readers and the Israeli government, which has threatened a lawsuit against The Times. Some commentators called the article into question, noting that several figures whom Kristof interviewed had ties to Hamas or anti-Israel activism.
Just do it. Israel needs to sue the NY Slimes into bankruptcy, dissolution and nonexistence.
The article quickly became a flashpoint and the controversy spilled into the streets on Thursday as protesters called for a retraction and even for Kristof’s firing.
I wouldn’t fire just Kristof, I would fire every single person who approved this drek for publication.
Protesters stood inside NYPD barricades holding signs that read “Shame on The New York Times for publishing anti-Zionist libels” and “The New York Times: All the blood libel that’s fit to print.” They chanted and called for a retraction of the piece. Many were carrying Israeli and American flags and some had flags that were a combination of the two.
And here we see the difference between Leftist, Antifa type protesters and normal protesters. Unless deeply provoked, your average protester is their to protest, make their voice heard and in the case of the New York Slimes, let them know that they’ve gone to far…again.
The protest took place just two days after the article was published. Ramon Maislen told Fox News Digital that the idea of holding a protest outside the newspaper’s headquarters came together quickly. The planning came together over WhatsApp, according to Maislen.
“The group came together and in 48 hours we are making this happen,” he said. “I think it’s really important because we’ve got to get the word out that when you create libel against people, it ends up having violence against them, and we’re trying to avoid that.”
Again, another difference between the usual Libtard protests and what occurred here. This was actually spontaneous and not made up of paid professional protesters.
The protesters were not only upset with the content of the article, but with its timing, saying that it was meant to upstage a report on the sexual abuse experienced by Oct. 7 victims. One of the protest organizers, Jayne Zirkle, who serves as the Director of Communications and Outreach for The Lawfare Project, echoed that sentiment to Fox News Digital.
“They published a slanderous article against Israel, and they did this just a day before the October 7th rape report came out,” Zirkle said. “They want to take away from the horrible sexual abuse that the October 7th victims endured, and we are demanding retraction. We’re demanding better journalism.”
I am not at all surprised that the Slimes allowed this drivel to see the light of day. They are fines with the destruction of Israel and the extermination of the Israeli people. (Not all of whom are Jewish by the way) The Slimes has been a propaganda arm for Hamas almost since day 1. They’ve become almost as bad as the Associated (with terrorists) Press.
Zach Sage Fox, a pro-Israel influencer who spoke at the protest, accused Kristof of relying on “Hamas sources and propaganda to the point of insanity.”
“They actually have to make up blood libels from the medieval times to paint a picture of the Jews,” Fox told Fox News Digital. He said that even if the piece were to be retracted, the claims had gone so viral that it almost wouldn’t matter.
One of the things we’ve seen is how the Legacy Media, especially the Slimes, will take anything provided by the Palestinians at face value. One of the early lies they pushed was Israel bombing a hospital and killing 500 children. What actually happened was a rocket launched by Hamas, misfired and landed in a hospital parking lot. There were no injuries and minimal damage to the building.
When Israel started advancing into Gaza, they found tons of munitions in schools, mosques, private homes and hospitals.
Fox also said The Times’ minimized the Holocaust when it was actively occurring. In 2001, as The Times celebrated its 150th birthday, its former Executive Editor Max Frankel called the paper’s handling of coverage on the Holocaust “the century’s bitterest journalistic failure.”
“History repeats itself, and now, it’s reposting itself,” Fox said. He added that the paper should “fire Kristof immediately” as well as “anyone else who was a part of this approval process.”
I would have to research how the Slimes handled the reports of what Allied forces found when they liberated the camps. It wouldn’t surprise me if they downplayed that as well. As for the Slimes, Fox reached out to them, but the Slimes initially didn’t respond. They did respond later on and, of course, they doubled down on stupid.
In a subsequent statement, The Times said Kristof relied on “on-the-record accounts” and cited “several analyses documenting the practice of sexual violence and abuse conducted by various parts of Israel’s security forces and settlers.”
Kristof acknowledged in his article that there “is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes.” He has repeatedly defended his work online, including the controversial portion about dogs committing sexual assaults.
In other words, he’s admitting that he made the whole thing up. Fox actually did what Kristof didn’t. They talked to someone who is an expert in training dogs.
Canine behavior expert Michael S. Gould told National Review that the idea of training dogs to rape prisoners was “absurd.”
“I’ve trained dogs to do a lot of things in my life. But no, that’s absurd,” Gould said. “It’s absurd for many reasons: the sexual instincts of dogs, their anatomy, the actual physical concept of it.”
You can teach a dog to attack of course, but trying to rape someone? Not happening. Once again, the New York Slimes has been caught lying through their teeth. I think it’s now time for them to be hit with a massive lawsuit, and when I say massive, I’m talking billions plus. It’s long past time to close the New York Times Slimes. There are many more reputable newspapers out there on both sides of the political spectrum.
