Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer leveled scathing criticism at The New York Times on Friday over an article pointing out that the Israel Defense Forces’ research and development efforts, which have proven crucial in Israel’s battle against the coronavirus, are predominately dedicated to devising ways to counter the Jewish state’s enemies.
The article, “Israeli Army’s Idea Lab Aims at a New Target: Saving Lives,” which was published on Thursday, states that “The Israeli Defense Ministry’s research-and-development arm is best known for pioneering cutting-edge ways to kill people and blow things up, with stealth tanks and sniper drones among its more lethal recent projects.”
Ambassador Ron Dermer slammed the newspaper, tweeting, “The New York Times, which buried the Holocaust, Is best known for pioneering ways to libel and demonize the Jewish State. Now it is doing the same.”
The article also outraged some pro-Israel advocates, the Forwardreported.
American Jewish Committee CEO David Harris called the phrasing “vile,” saying it “should read: Israeli Defense Ministry’s research-and-development arm is best known for pioneering cutting-edge ways to defend #Israel since 1948 from annihilation by state/non-state actors.”
Almog Elijis, the spokeswoman for Israel’s consulate in New York, called out the New York Times “for their shameful twisting of reality.”
“Saving lives is at the core of what Israel stands for, has always stood for, and will always stand for,” she tweeted.
This article first appeared in Israel Hayom.
Raw Jew Hate from the New York TIMES.
”they said our military is good at killing people and blowing shit up, so offensive!” What the hell do you want your military to be known for? The US Army and Marines are proud of their own war-fighting prowess. I guess the Israelis want to pretend war is flowers and rainbow sprinkles?

I don’t disagree.
But any occasion to catch the NYT in their bias is fine by me.
After all of that,the American Liberal Jew votes Democrat every time.
See, I’d be tempted to fire back with my own headline in response: “New York Slimes Writer Aims at a New Target: The Carnal Knowledge of Goats,”
Nobody should be surprised that the racist Nazis at the NYT support Israel’s enemies.
Blood libel?
