New York Magazine has responded to the criticism of its controversial Habibi City issue. Read their statement carefully, because it does the thing it's apologizing for.
They say the issue captured "tensions and live debates that exist within these communities, including how they relate to Israel." They acknowledge "critiques from some in the Jewish community."
Notice the grammar: "These communities", and, separately, "the Jewish community."
Nearly a million Jews expelled from Baghdad, Tunis, Sana'a, and Tehran, and even in the correction, we are filed outside the region. The statement re-performs the erasure it was written to address.
And "some." Not the substance of a single criticism, not the expulsions the issue never mentioned, not the verdict it printed that no court has reached, not the October 7th massacre they've glanced upon. Just "some in the Jewish community," and an invitation to dialogue that answers nothing.
The dialogue was available before publication. It's called an editor.
Popular far-left French politician Louis Boyard discreetly took off his Rolex worth $50,000 before giving an interview ‘denouncing the ultra-rich.’
Hypocrisy at its finest.
"Queers for Palestine" must be the most idiotic movement to have ever existed.
Literally every single one of them would be killed in Gaza.
How stupid can these people be?
“My people, the idiot Jews, in New York, who live on the Upper West Side, who live in Park Slope, who voted for Mamdani, remind me of the 7,000 Jews who voted for Hitler," Dershowitz continued. https://t.co/XWR6PeneMx

Now that is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. 🤦♂️
