The New York Times is facing criticism for publishing an op-ed by Yahya R. Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza City and a Hamas appointee, leading to accusations of amplifying 'Jew hate.' This decision has sparked outrage, especially in comparison to the Times' treatment of a US Senator's op-ed. Critics argue that the Times' staff reacted strongly to a Republican US Senator's piece but remained silent when it came to Hamas propaganda. The controversy has raised questions about the newspaper's editorial standards and impartiality.
The New York Times provided a platform to a politician appointed by Hamas — the group designated by America as a foreign terrorist organization and responsible for the heinous October 7th massacre. Does the NYT have no shame? https://t.co/kOkpbILcc1
No doubt, with legal caveats, the NYT is allowed to use its opinion page to push whatever its agenda is. In that context the NYT convulsed and wouldn't cleanly publish an American Senator, then they published Hamas terrorist propaganda while Hamas is holding American hostages. https://t.co/4Hu08hNibe
The New York Times ran an op-ed by Yahya R. Sarraj, the handpicked mayor of Gaza City. The decision to provide a worldwide platform prompted outrage for amplifying "Jew hate." The same outlet pressured a chief editor to resign for running an op-ed by a sitting US Senator. https://t.co/OtkT3HynWl
Note that the Times’ staff went ballistic when the Times published a piece by a Republican US Senator, but crickets when it publishes Hamas propaganda. https://t.co/gVp5bN6HRy
Flashback: Remember the time that the editor of the New York Times had to resign for allowing a US Senator’s Op-Ed to appear in the paper? Will the editor have to resign for running a Hamas leader’s op-ed in the paper? https://t.co/I0O7tUdw8W https://t.co/OfArYIdXsL
