Why did the New York Times just change this headline to remove “Jewish Terrorism”?

It was the first time in 175 years that “Jewish Terrorism” was part of a NYT headline and it lasted about an hour.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Israel is carrying out horrific pogroms against Palestinians right now and the whole of Western media is framing it as “clashes” or a “military campaign.”

But Israeli violence is an every day feature for Palestinians under an illegal occupation. Report the truth.

MASJID AL-AQSA EFFECTIVELY CLOSED TO MUSLIMS AND RESERVED FOR SETTLERS

Thursday 23 July 2026

“Who could be more unjust than those who prevent the Name of Allah from being mentioned in His *Masjids* and strive towards their destruction?”

[al-Baqarah 2:114]

Since Fajr this morning, Thursday 23 July 2026, the Israeli occupation police have imposed a complete, undeclared closure of Masjid al-Aqsa and its surrounding areas upon the Muslims to whom the Masjid belongs. This has been done to reserve it for settlers on what they call the “anniversary of the destruction of the Temple”.

The details are as follows:

1. Waqf employees prevented from entering

Israeli occupation forces prevented all Waqf employees from entering Masjid al-Aqsa to carry out their duties, with the exception of the guards who were already on shift.

As a result, fewer than half of the Waqf employees were able to enter Masjid al-Aqsa. Their numbers had already been severely reduced through repeated banning orders and the cancellation of permits.

2. Gates closed to Muslim worshippers

The Israeli occupation police completely closed the King Faisal Gate in the north, together with the Cotton Merchants’ Gate and the Iron Gate in the west, to Muslim worshippers.

The areas outside these gates were instead reserved for settlers to perform religious rituals, sing and dance since yesterday evening.

3. Arbitrary age restrictions

This morning, the Israeli occupation police imposed an arbitrary minimum age of 75 upon Muslims wishing to enter Masjid al-Aqsa.

As the time for Zuhr salah approached, the minimum age was raised even further to 80.

4. Muslims told that the day was “reserved for Jews”

Israeli occupation police informed many Muslim worshippers who had come to perform salah at Masjid al-Aqsa that “today is reserved for Jews”, and ordered them to return to their homes.

This represents a renewed attempt to impose a complete temporal division of Masjid al-Aqsa and to divide religious occasions between Muslims and Jews. It was opposition to this very policy that led to the Jerusalem uprising in 2015.

In effect, these measures meant that Zuhr salah was prevented inside Masjid al-Aqsa today.

Masjid al-Aqsa has been practically closed to Muslims, without any official announcement, since Fajr salah.

The accompanying footage shows the condition of Masjid al-Aqsa immediately after the Zuhr salah had ended.

The gradual exclusion of Muslims from Masjid al-Aqsa, while settlers are granted unrestricted access to perform rituals within it is another step towards imposing a full temporal and spatial division of the blessed Masjid.

May Allah protect Masjid al-Aqsa, strengthen its people and grant the Ummah the resolve to fulfil its responsibility towards it.
