Jerusalem — For the past 10 days, the State of Israel has been waging a battle against the New York Times, for what it calls tendentious and unfair coverage of the Jewish state.
At the focus of the storm is the Goldstone report.
Recently, there were many exchanges between the newspaper’s journalists and editors with Israel Foreign Ministry representatives, and yesterday the Israeli delegation in the UN sent an official complaint to the newspaper’s editorial board.
The complaint, signed by the Israel UN delegation’s spokeswoman, Mirit Cohen, says that the newspaper uses subjective negative language about Israel and failed in writing fair and accurate coverage.
The complaint also states: “Again and again we encounter distorted phraseology that is liable to cause the innocent reader to think that the report found definitive proof that Israel committed war crimes in Gaza.
“This is a report that is flawed from the outset, which gives legitimacy to a terror organization that fires missiles at innocent civilians. The New York Times’s bias in ignoring this reality requires reexamination”, wrote Cohen.
The New York Times has yet to respond to the Israeli government’s unprecedented attack on the New York Times.
The New York Times is a pro-Israel, Jewish-owned newspaper. This site should stop being so biased.
jews have to set the terms of what is going on for truth and who has the last word
they care about numbers/$
good start. this letter should be published as ads in other ny papers
should boycott the New York (Slimes) Times.
It is long overdue
It is about time that Israel protested the disgusting bias of the New York Times – Jews everywhere have abandoned this over the top anti Israel propaganda sheet.
The Times I read growing up seemed to actually be interested in reporting the facts of stories and situations. But it has long ago abandoned fairness and fact for hateful opionion and an anti Jewish slant posing as ‘news’.
