EXPOSED: A new dossier from @wawog_now reveals material and ideological ties between Israel and journalists, editors, and executives of The New York Times. Whether serving in the IOF or taking money from pro-Israel consultancies, the staff at the Times is compromised. Image @wawog_now Among these 20 NYT journalists are Natan Odenheimer, who served in the Maglan special forces unit of the IOF for four years, and Isabel Kershner, who has cited her former-IOF husband's Zionist think tank over 100 times throughout her tenure. newyorkwarcrimes.com/dossier

PATTERN OF LIES: Over the past two decades, the “Israeli” “Forensic” “Institute” and its Director, Chen Kugel, have repeatedly offered dubious forensic “expertise” in order to exonerate Israeli soldiers and bolster Zionist propaganda. 🧵

newyorkwarcrimes.com/abu-kabir-prop… Without releasing evidence, the Institute concluded that the Bibas family were murdered by Palestinian fighters. Weeks later, on the heels of this report and the outrage it produced in Israel, the IOF resumed its genocidal war on Gaza.

The Bibas family were killed by Israeli airstrikes in November, 2023. Image The @nytimes has worked hard over the past 16 months to hide the IOF’s deployment of the Hannibal Directive.

Why is anyone still subscribed to the @nytimes? Alt text: The NYT’s Year in Disgrace: a look back at the imperial tabloid’s crimes against truth in 2024.  Visual description: green background with “Lies” in the NYT font. In April 2024, @theintercept leaked an internal @nytimes memo that mandated journalists to avoid the words “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “occupied territories” when writing about Palestine. Visual description: two NYT headlines from January and February 2024 with LIES watermarked in red on top.

“WORDS LIKE SLAUGHTER”: We conducted an in-depth, comparative study of the @nytimes reporting on Ukraine and Gaza to show how the “paper of record” acts as a mouthpiece for American empire. Read the full piece on Mondoweiss and in this thread🧵: The New York Times has no qualms about condemning war crimes committed by enemies of the U.S. empire. Russia is a threat to U.S. interests, and as such, The Times presents Russia’s actions in harsh terms while uplifting Ukranian’s resistance as a defense of the Western world.

In Ukraine, the @nytimes portrays armed resistance to occupation as a noble calling. In this 2022 article, they even commend fighters for hiding amongst civilians! Meanwhile, in Gaza, the Times justifies every IDF massacre by citing the supposed presence of Hamas. Thread ⬇️! Image The cited article from August 2022 is a glowing review of the Ukrainian partisans and their guerrilla tactics, which include car bombs and targeted assassinations. Can you even conceptualize the Times writing like this about the Lions Den in the West Bank, for instance?

After six months of genocide, this is the best the @nytimes editorial board can do—a tepid call for the US to follow its own laws.

In an attempt to save face, this cynical piece scapegoats Netanyahu and portrays Biden as a weary peacemaker. Analysis in 🧵: Image Netanyahu and his right-wing hardliners are a predictable product of zionism, not a distortion of its principles.

But it is more convenient for The Times to blame Netanyahu for Israel’s politically toxic war—rather than levy a critique which might indict zionism itself.

Today marks six months of war in Gaza.

We’ve compiled a thread detailing half a year of The New York Times’ complicity in Israel’s genocidal assault. Share widely!

🧵🧵🧵 Through rigorous data aggregation, we found consistent patterns of bias in topic focus, sourcing and language:

13 years ago, NATO militarily intervened in Libya. In the weeks before intervention, The NYT assisted in creating a pretext for intervention by propagating lies and erasing critical context. Read our history of their blood-stained coverage here, and in🧵: newyorkwarcrimes.com/libya-2011
Image From the outset, The Times invoked the specter of Srebrenica and Rwanda to depict Gaddafi as hell-bent on massacring the Libyan people. While Gaddafi did crack down violently on initial protests, there was no evidence of any planned, systemic violence against civilians.

This morning, Israel assaulted Al-Shifa Hospital (again) with gunfire, quadcopters and artillery, reportedly killing and wounding dozens of Palestinian civilians.

The NYT’s reporting predictably sanitizes this Israeli war crime. 🧵 Image The headline itself does not indicate that Israel has begun attacking the hospital — a war crime — and that they have already killed and injured many Palestinians.
