A top New York Times union organizer posted on X that Zionists are “butchers” and “depraved monsters” — igniting a firestorm in the newsroom, The Post has learned.
In addition to posting comments like Zionists “know how to kill,” Nastaran Mohit, organizing director of the NewsGuild of New York — who works on behalf of Times employees under a union contract — called the Gray Lady itself a “decrepit institution,” according to comments reviewed by The Post.
In response to a post celebrating the Times winning a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the war in Gaza, she posted it was “utterly reprehensible” they would be given an award.
She also reposted a video where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said “Hamas cares nothing about the civilians,” with the caption, “An objective lie, you bloodthirsty savage of a human being… rot in hell.”
The union-sanctioned antisemitism has turned internal newsroom politics at the Times into a slow-burning “dumpster fire” one employee told The Post.
And some angry staffers, Jewish employees in particular, say they are outraged they are paying a portion of their salaries to the union — and are demanding to know why they are funding an “adversary” of journalism.
“It’s clear that some of the people we pay to represent us hate us because … they not only attack The New York Times but journalism itself,” another longtime staffer told The Post.
“Why does the union keep antagonizing the members of its largest dues-paying group?”

They’re coming out of the woodwork these days
“In addition to posting comments like Zionists “know how to kill,””
Damn right, the Arabs learned that the hard way, and the Palestinians may learn the same, if they don’t start behaving.
The Left is composed of factions who hate each other. They normally suppress their antagonism to come after us, but it’s still there.
Pro-Palestinian left vs Jewish left. Women vs trans. Gay vs straight. Black vs white.
If they didn’t have us to hate more, they would be ripping each other’s throats out.
“Nastaran Mohit”.
Does not sound like a Muslim name, but clearly sympathetic to their propaganda. Don’t quite understand what that person’s situation is.

To get more people organizing labor, more people need to know what organizers actually do. Which is why we were thrilled to see Teen Vogue feature a day in the life of Nastaran Mohit: labor champion, current organizing director of the NewsGuild of New York — and SLU [CUNY]alum. From the article: It’s a tough time to be in journalism. Revenue sources are dwindling and new layoffs seem to be announced every day — and the COVID-19 pandemic sent another shockwave through the industry. That’s where Nastaran Mohit comes in. As organizing director of the NewsGuild of New York, Mohit works to unionize the staff at newspapers, magazines and online publications, so that reporters, editors and social media staff have access to the benefits and protections they so sorely need. The NewsGuild, a sector of the Communications Workers of America, represents more than 24,000 journalists and other media workers across the U.S. and Canada. Mohit has led successful campaigns to unionize publications including The New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine and BuzzFeed. ...
If Netanyahu didn’t know how to fight back Hamas would kill everyone in Israel. Maybe they shouldn’t have started the war if they didn’t want to fight a war...
When conservatives criticize the press we do it from a point of view that wants them to respect their own ‘ethics’ and cover all people fairly - even us. And we want ‘opinion’ out of news stories. Leave that to the op-ed pages... That’s different than ‘hating’ journalists.
"Why does the union keep antagonizing the members of its largest dues-paying group?"
Yeah, that's a real puzzle.
Y-you mean there are newsroom staff at the NY Times who don’t hate Israel?! How come they never have a by-line?
