New York Times editor admits holding Palestinians to a lower standard
Times of Israel ^ | October 29, 2014, 11:29 PM | Tamar Sternthal

A favored topic at The New York Times is the purported racism of Israeli society at large. It has been the topic, again and again, of Op-Eds, editorials and news stories. Conversely, Times editors seem ever reluctant to approach the subject of Palestinian racism, although there is no dearth of material there.

Why this discrepancy?

Times opinion editor Matt Seaton today provided a window into the mindset of the editors in his response to a query by this media analyst about whether readers “can expect two hit pieces on Palestinian racism in the next month” in keeping with the pace of the publication of (error-ridden) screeds about Israeli racism, both real and imagined. […]

The editor’s stunning admission that he considers Palestinians exempt from scrutiny due to their stateless existence followed the Oct. 27 publication of yet another Op-Ed which accused Israeli society as being racist. …

Muslims and Christians walk freely among Jews in Israeli governed land. Jews and Christians on the other hand cannot walk freely among Muslims in Gaza or the West Bank. They would not last long among Muslims before being set upon and beaten, if not killed outright. When I say freely, I mean without armed guards and protection. So the muslim Palestinians are the real racists, and the NY Times conveniently hides the truth (again and again).

How many Gypsy suicide bombers have you ever heard of?

Was there a Gypsy Empire trying to take over the known world at any time?

It's weird.

White guys at the New York Times want to be 'down with the struggle' and they wind up looking like people who refuse to grow up...

First, picking losers is not always the ethical or moral choice. Do the boys at the Times understand that? Or are they in rebellion against their rather well to do parents who put them through schools good enough to get them jobs at the New York Times?

It's like the New York Times would always side with the drug addicted brother in law who sleeps on the living room sofa and doesn't ever seem to have time to look for a job. Maybe they think enabling is cool... or they're just mean spirited themselves... or they're anti-semite....

Here's how they can prove or disprove their theory about racism. They should wear a placard around their neck stating "I am Muslim" and walk in Israeli land. Then wear a placard stating "I am Jewish" and try to walk the same amount of time in Gaza or the West Bank. To make it more interesting, they should also wear a camera that streams video live to the New York Times website so all can see what happens. Let's see them "prove" in this manner that Palestinians aren't "as racist" as Israeli Jews.

The amazing thing to me is that the NY Times company is owned by Jews. They are obviously self hating Jews.

Arthur Junior is not considered a Jew due to his mother’s heritage. Going further back, his grandfather Arthur Hays Sulzberger was an anti-Zionist Reform Jew.

Haaretz and the Times of Israel are run by liberal Jews themselves.

In less than one lifetime, the Jews have taken a barren, desert land and turned it into the garden of the Middle East. Flowers, vegetables, medicine, art, engineering, finance, research, music - Israel is a land alive and prosperous.

Not so where the "Palestinians" (read Arabs) live.

Despite given Billions of dollars in direct aid, given equipment, building materials, medicine, and other aid pouring in, anywhere there are Arabs, the place is a slum where the Palis live.

I like that idea - it’d be so much fun to watch. Too bad it’ll never happen. At the bottom of their mean little New York Times hearts they know they’re wrong on this issue. They would not want to prove that to the world.

But, but have you seen their tunnels? Absolutely state of the art. Dry, well lit, with fresh air pumped in. Special hatches for quick attacks and a rail system to bring missiles right where you need them, when you need them.

Our tax dollars at work. Feel better?

Pretty much everybody holds the Palestinians as beneath them. Those who don’t view them as violent savages view them as violent, disturbed children/subnormals who cannot be held fully accountable for their actions. I will view Palestinians as equals when the rest of the world holds them equally accountable for their atrocities and the Palestinians for their part, respond to this by behaving like normal human beings rather than bronze-age barbarians.

I absolutely agree with you about the accomplishments of Israel’s Jews, but the picture you posted is of the Bahai temple in Haifa.

There is a reason that Syria and Jordan and Egypt and Lebanon won’t allow them in their countries.

True. I’m not sure how it is now, but the Muslim quarter in Jerusalem used to be where you could get the best deals on souvenirs.
