Of all the names the story throws at you, only two support the lead, by being Arab-American donors:
  1. Yousuf Ghafari, a Lebanese-born Christian, and
  2. Tim Attallah. (Yeah, "Tim." There's a real ay-rab for ya). Tim gave $2,000, which if you're the New York Times is practically overthrowing democracy (what did Soros give the DNC?).

The rest of the cited "Arab contributors" either aren't Arabs, or aren't contributors. So you have a whole story based on one guy, poor Ghafari.

One more example of how the journalistic standards of the Times have been in a death spiral since at least the advent of the Raines regime. I mean, did anybody edit this piece?

But wait -- maybe it isn't about telling a story. Maybe it's about trying to frighten the Jews among the paper's aging readers, and to ensure they turn out to vote for the paper's party this fall. Which is, if it's the case, another marker of the post-Raines Times.

d.o.l.
