Is the NYT a shill for Hamas? Strange this article dropped just as the full report into the gruesome crimes against humanity committed by Hamas was released…
https://t.co/PVK61U7L6S
Oct 2023. The New York Times claimed "at least 500 Palestinians" were killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital."
They lied. Islamic Jihad did it. Their rocket hit a car park, not a hospital. And a few dozen were killed.
July 2025: NYT holds up sick child claiming he was a healthy child deliberately starved by Israel.
They lied. The child had Cerebral Palsy.
May 2026: NYT says that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians.
Guess what? They are lying again. It is blatant nonsense spread by a pro-Hamas NGO. As usual it moves from Hamas propaganda HQ to the pages of the NYT.
Why on earth would you pay any attention to what the New York Times says on Israel?
More feckless foreign policy from a cohort of predominantly progressive gov'ts captured by Islamist political pressure & clueless on international law.
This joint statement makes a joke of these gov'ts for:
- Calling on @Israel "to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to stop its military escalation" without acknowledging current operations were initiated in response to an impending invasion of 🇮🇱 by Hezbollah from 🇱🇧 in retaliation for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei in 🇮🇷 (screenshot). What these - and every - governments should do instead of blaming 🇮🇱 is pressure HEZBOLLAH to respect BOTH 🇮🇱 AND 🇱🇧 "sovereignty and territorial integrity and to stop its military escalation."
- Demanding "all parties must respect international law" without recognizing Israel's inherent right of self-defense PURSUANT to international law in response to an imminent attack by HEZBOLLAH from Lebanon's territory.
- Claiming to "support the efforts of the Lebanese government to extend its authority throughout the country in line with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701" & demanding that "Hezbollah must cease its attacks on Israel" without acknowledging Israel IS supporting this UNSCR that was adopted 20 YEARS AGO by attriting #Hezbollah military capabilities through force of arms. Israel is now required to do so because Lebanon has repeatedly proven unwilling or unable "to exercise its full sovereignty, so that there will be no weapons without the consent of the Government of Lebanon" as UNSCR 1701 (2006) calls for.
These predominantly progressive governments of mostly middle power countries routinely find it politically expedient to blame Israel in diplomatic messaging by misrepresenting international law while calling on "all parties to exercise maximum restraint" & to refrain "from actions that could lead to further escalation."
This feckless policy approach supports the strategic objectives of terrorists - and their backers in Iran - because nonstate armed groups are, unlike actual states, largely impervious to strongly worded diplomatic demands. Meanwhile, the State of Israel cannot rely on diplomatic pressure alone in pursuit of the "right to live in peace, security and dignity, free from the threat of renewed conflict."
Enough fairytale foreign policy. Opposition parties in Western countries must take the initiative & learn - with precision - how international law is routinely misrepresented by liberal governments as an expedient excuse to blame Israel while appeasing their own progressive & Islamist political bases.
Only then can opposition parties counter this common approach to (geo)political messaging & adequately hold liberal governments to account so constituents can do the same in response where it counts .... at the ballot box. In case of doubt, simply look to newly appointed Prime Minister Janez Jansa (@JJansaSDS) in 🇸🇮 for proof of concept.

“14,000 babies will die in 48 hours.”
That claim didn’t come from a random account online. It came from the United Nations, and major media outlets ran with it.
The problem? It wasn't true.

Dear @bbcnews@skynews
Yesterday a @UN peacekeeper was killed in Lebanon- and two others were injured - yet oddly you mostly ignored it. No outrage - no headlines.
Is your silence because they were killed by Hezbollah and you couldn't blame Israel?
Asking for a friend.
The official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain has branded Zionism "one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred," described the Israel Defence Force as a "Zionist terrorist group" and defended Hamas against "unverified stories about acts of violence.".
The inflammatory claims are made by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) in a policy paper on "confronting anti-Muslim hatred," written by its then vice-president, Khaldoun Kabbani, published on its website last year but not publicised until now.

“My Jewish friends are anti-genocide.”
What a grotesque little formulation.
Of course they are. Who the hell is pro-genocide?
What you actually mean is: “I have Jewish friends who endorse my political framing, so I can use them as moral cover against other Jews.”
That isn’t solidarity. It’s tokenism.
Jews are not props. They are not character witnesses. And finding a few who agree with you does not give you permission to smear everyone else as genocide supporters.
The issue was never whether Jews oppose genocide. Obviously they do.
The issue is whether you get to weaponise the word against Jews who refuse to perform your politics on command.
My Muslim friends are LGBTQ+ allies 🏳️🌈
The women in my life are trans inclusive 🏳️⚧️
My Jewish friends are anti-genocide 🇵🇸
Twitter is not real life 🏳️⚧️💚🏳️🌈💚🇵🇸

Harry, this is painfully naive.
“Take a gay for a cuppa” is not a serious answer to organised religious conservatism.
The 5Pillars article is not some harmless misunderstanding. It tells Muslims that same-sex relationships are prohibited, that marriage is only between a man and a woman, and that families should resist modern cultural influences on sexuality.
That is not ignorance. It is doctrine.
And the polling is grim. A 2024 JL Partners/Henry Jackson Society poll found that only 28% of British Muslims said outlawing homosexuality in the UK would be undesirable. Just 28%. Nearly three quarters either wanted it, were neutral, or didn’t know.
So spare us the tea-and-bridges routine.
Here’s the real-world test: name a Middle Eastern country, other than Israel, that recognises same-sex marriage. Israel recognises same-sex marriages performed abroad. Its neighbours do not.
That tells you rather more about Islam than a cosy little “cuppa” ever will.
So still no argument.
You’ve gone from my avatar, to my post count, to guessing how I write replies. That’s not a rebuttal — it’s just more ad hominem.
The point remains untouched: clinical spaces are for patient care, not political messaging.
Answer the substance of the arguments I’m making. Maybe AI could help you do that.
Another ad hominem. Still no argument.
You’ve gone from my profile picture, to my post count, to “AI script” - anything except the actual point.
Clinical spaces are for patient care, not staff self-expression. If you can’t rebut that without inspecting my avatar, you’ve already lost.
Saying this while using an AI-generated image yourself is quite the self-own.
But more importantly, “hasbara account” has become the lazy smear for anyone who refuses to join the anti-Israel pile-on. No argument? Call them a bot. No evidence? Call it AI. No rebuttal? Cry “hasbara”.
And yes, some people use anonymous accounts or generated images because Jews and pro-Israel voices are routinely targeted, abused, doxxed and threatened online. That is not suspicious. It is self-preservation.
The real tell is this: you are not engaging with the argument at all. You are just trying to delegitimise the person making it.
Very obvious indeed.
Your opening paragraph is pure ad hominem, which rather gives the game away. “AI profile picture” and “fewer than 10,000 posts” is not an argument. It is playground-level displacement. Quality over quantity, dear.
Your hospital anecdote is also not policy. I’m glad you received good care. That does not entitle you to dismiss Jewish patients and staff who currently feel anxious, ostracised, or unsafe in NHS settings.
And yes: ban the lot.
Palestinian flag, Israeli flag, Ukrainian flag, Russian flag, party badges, campaign slogans, Pride flags, ideological lanyards - all of it. The NHS should not be a rolling HR-approved protest stall.
That is not anti-Palestinian. It is not anti-LGBT. It is neutrality.
LGBT patients should be protected by law, policy, professionalism and conduct - not by whether a clinician has chosen the correct approved accessory. Jewish patients should not have to wonder whether the person treating them is wearing a political message about a conflict in which Jews are currently being targeted on British streets.
Your mistake is thinking the purpose of clinical space is staff self-expression. It isn’t. It is patient trust.
Be more French about it: your politics, causes, flags, slogans and moral branding stay at the door. You come to work as a professional, not as a billboard.
From Maccabi Tel Aviv to Henry Nowak, the evidence is clear.
We have to root this poison out of our police and justice system.
We need what we once took for granted - equality before the law.
