If you thought that the Hitler-loving reporter in Gaza was the only scandal @nytimes, think again. 🧵
A few days ago, the paper published this story about the atmosphere in Saudi Arabia post-Oct. 7 massacre.
In it, you hear from Sultan Alamer, a grad student in Harvard's Center for Mideast Studies.

Alamer is presented as an expert by the Times. But it took about five seconds for me to discover that he is also a person that celebrates the mass murder of Jews.
Here is Alamer on Twitter on October 7: "what a sweet day."
In 2021 @nytimes published this flattering profile of a professor named Refaat Alareer, praising him for his decision to teach Israeli poets:

The Times also published an oped by this person:

Here is Refaat Alareer joking about whether or not an Israeli baby, burned alive in an oven, was cooked "with or without baking powder."
What’s going on here? Pretty simple. Institutions are a reflection of their people. This is what happens when a newspaper is overrun by reporters and editors, trained at elite schools, who have embraced a “decolonial” worldview. Reader, beware.
