Evil, evil powers that kill so many remotely while pretending they subscribe to the rule of law. And evil are the mouthpieces that parrot lies and falsifications while innocents die.

It turns out that when the publication dispensed with political cartoons, because Trump was caricatured as a blind man, who was being led by a Natenyahu-headed guid dog, were much better days!

The NYT is, and always has been, a lies, obfuscation and propaganda machine for genocidal Zionist "Israel". This is not an opinion, this is fact.

The western MSM has spewed Jewish Hasbara for so long they can’t understand why no one buys the lies any more.

Many thanks for this very good piece about the NYT. I don't understand this newspaper. On the following day it published a report about a 12-year-old girl who died in Gaza due to famine and disease. It has a swing position!

Read both articles carefully. Anything regarding the Palestinian plight will be written without emotion and nuance. Words will be used to diminish and neutralize any chance of appearing to support the cause - just the facts. While anything about Israel/Jews/Zionists will push the victimhood agenda, geared towards justifying and promoting their genocide and land theft. The art and craft of writing can be subtle in its persuasive intent. I have come to learn and recognize these differences that have been used for decades to indoctrinate and brainwash us into supporting Israel.

Anyone consuming that media outlet, even for reference, should be aware of who’s drawing the lines of that reality. Browsing Ny war crimes and looking into the investigation is enlightening.

If International community and UN ICJ ect allow this humanity definitely dead

Since mainstream media and our western governments refuse to discuss genocide the task is left to us citizens. We need to talk to everyone we know or meet about the horrors in Gaza.

The parallel with Nazi language and behaviour is only too apposite, and could not be more damning. Of course, Hitler had his apologists in other western states, too.

NYT = Zio Blackrock & ComCast...

I agree wholeheartedly, Jonathan, that without the media propaganda the genocide would be impossible because the world would be outraged. Instead they are consistently fed the Israhell spin. Meanwhile any opposing perspectives are being systematically shut down by the government.

Thank you as always for your work, Mr Cook. Once again, the Times fails in regards to the goal of media to speak truth to power, and instead serves as a mouthpiece for the agenda of the powers that be. It whitewashes genocide and paints the victims as enemies for which this unconscionable behavior is acceptable. As if the genocidal occupiers' actions could not be even more despicable, they are expelling aid groups whose efforts are vital to helping Palestinians survive in the midst of this genocidal occupation. Words fail me at how unjust this is.

Unsurprising, given the NYT’s support for Trump’s regime change plan Venezuela.

'AS ISRAEL BANS AID ORGS IN GAZA, NOTORIOUS MERCENARY FIRM SEEKS "TARGETER"

'[By] Max Blumenthal, 'December 31, 2025

'Are Israel and the Trump admin planning to revive the dystopian Gaza Humanitarian Foundation scheme that spawned famine and death under cover of humanitarian aid?

'...In its bid to continue the genocide in Gaza, Israel has banned 37 international aid organizations...

'...At the same time, one of the US mercenary firms responsible for securing the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites which were present during the worst periods of famine in Gaza, when at least 3000 Palestinian civilians were gunned down while seeking aid, has posted an ad soliciting former special forces soldiers for offensive operations.

'UG Solutions, the scandal-stained private mercenary firm, announced this December that it was hiring an “experienced Targeter to support intelligence-driven operations through the identification, development, validation, and maintenance of operational targets.” The targeter will be expected to “Develop, validate, and maintain operational target packages in accordance with approved targeting processes.”...[continues]'

'ISRAELI PRESS REVIEW: ARMY HIT BY SPATE OF SUICIDES AND STUDY REVEALS POPULATION DROP

'By Nadav Rapaport,

'Published date: 31 December 2025 14:32 GMT

'...For the first time since the early 1980s, Israel’s population growth rate will fall below one and half percent, according to The Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel, an independent socioeconomic research institute based in Jerusalem...According to the report, over the past two years, approximately 120,000 more Israeli citizens have left the country than returned to it...

'...Over the past year, 21 active-duty soldiers in the Israeli army died by suicide, according to data released on Tuesday by the Israeli military.

'According to a report by the Israeli news site Ynet, in addition to the 21 active-duty soldiers that took their own lives last year, 15 additional soldiers died of suicide after being discharged from the army...

'..."We are preparing for even more complex years regarding the concern over suicides," sources in the Israeli army told Ynet.

' "The war has ended but the psychological burden remains on the shoulders of those who served," they added...[continues]'

(THE WAR HAS NOT ENDED. The self-inflicted attrition amongst IDF ranks will grow. The evacuation of Jewish citizens from the State of Israel will continue. And the touted transformation of Gaza into an Israeli Riviera free enterprise zone is a grifters' con, the very land of it being now toxic.)

Thank you for this info. I just cannot press the like button.

Richard Wilding's avatar

I hope it's useful. (And I'm sorry I don't know how to put direct links to the articles themselves into my posts, but giving just the web address takes you to the outlet's home page and gives you a chance to see what else is being reported there as well )

GreaterIsrahell's avatar

I don't think it is possible to put anything but a URL into the comments, but that's more than good enough.

Richard Wilding's avatar

That's good. (And if nothing but a URL is possible, that's one less thing to niggle away at the back of my mind.)

Thank you for these links. I already read MEE, Caitlin, the canary, and Council Estate Media, and I’m always looking for more.

GreaterIsrahell's avatar

Caitlin, as in Johnstone? She banned me for a hundred years from her substack three years ago for being anti-Semittic. I simply pointed out that the Khazarian mafia runs Tel Aviv, Kiev and the district of criminals, which are facts.

If she had any credibility she would ban herself from her own substack for posting things far beyond what she banned me for. She is here for the money. She saw a trend, and her coat turned not long after 10/7.

You're most welcome.

Ha ha ha For all THOSE mindless pseudo academics of History here in the USA and all other ignorant apes (all humans are just fucking-apes, Abe’s kiddos) who still dumbly ask how Hitler’s Holocausts could happen and Germans and Europeans then didn’t do crap?

I would like to respond to that here by pointing to say it is that exact same silent opportunistic complicity-way that centuries of white judeochristian terrorist-settlers-induced genocide, ethnic cleansing on, and massive land thefts from, Indigenous People of both American continents have occurred. And why the by judeo-christian terrorist-settlers occupied fascist genocidal Apartheid USA is certainly very openly aiding, funding and profiteering from the equally genocidal Jewish zionist Apartheid’s state of Israel’s forever ongoing genocide on Palestinians.

FYI, their intentional botched “peace plan/seize fire” agreement was just the actual confirmation that both USA and Netanyahu’s Israel always intended and planned to kill-off all Palestinians in Gaza one-way-or the other including by starving them and making the survivors freeze to death this winter.

It sure is working for both theocratic fascist states, because unlike with Hitler’s Holocaust no nuclear armed military alliance, no Haarvara Agreement, is going to come in with nuclear blaze rushing to save Palestinians, right???

Because Palestinians aren’t allegedly god-chosen by a shitty manufactured pedophile incest-jew-ish-man-god, we are all to assume, or why actually?
