Writers Against the War on Gaza Lays Out New York Times's Ties to Israeli Occupation, Gaza Genocide
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group called Writers Against the War on Gaza has published a dossier
accusing the New York Times of pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian bias. The
coalition's research builds on decades of analyses showing how many
high-ranking New York Times editors, journalists, and executive officers
hold material and ideological ties to Israeli occupation and apartheid;
they also report Times editors have ordered reporters to avoid so-called
"inflammatory terms" including "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and
"occupied territory" - and even to avoid saying "Palestine."
