Updating the New York Times Ethical Handbook -Sign a Petition re Hamas

by Rabbi Yair Hoffman

Hamas Terrorists are winning the PR war, and it is largely the fault of the New York Times. 

In the past two months there has been a sea-change in how Jews with Yarmulkas have been treated in public.  Much of this is due to some very biased reporting in the New York Times.  The suggestion here to sign a petition is based upon a Seforno in Parshas Vayigash.

A Yale University study published in February analyzed 1,561 New York Times articles from October 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024, revealing shocking bias: 91% of articles failed to mention Israeli casualties after October 7, despite dozens of civilians killed. 50% omitted Israeli hostages held by Hamas. 41% ignored Israeli casualties from the initial attack. Meanwhile, The New York Times publishes Palestinian suffering stories on a near-daily basis – accepting Hamas sources without verification.   

The petition below suggests tweaks that must be made by the New York Times to their own Ethical Journalism Handbook.  Let’s copy the link and try to make it go viral.  There is no question that the lives of our brethren are being placed at risk because of the New York Times current policies that do not reflect ethical journalism.  Please sign the petition, and spread the link to do so as well.
