Does the New York Times want to kill Jews?

They know that their amplification of totally insane blood libels plays a role in the attacks on synagogues, the stabbings, and the shootings. And they do it anyway.

Do Nicholas Kristof and his employers at the New York Times want to see more attacks on Israeli civilians and on innocent Jews around the world? They sure act like that’s exactly what they want to see.

Kristof committed a crime against journalism in his latest attack on Israel. Without bothering to verify a single source, he spread a blood libel guaranteed to be used to justify more attacks on Jews. At a time when Jews are being stabbed and whipped on the streets of London, when synagogues in New York are targeted by genocidal maniacs, he chose to publish blatant lies about the Jewish State that are only believable to those who are certifiable or see Jews as genetically evil.

The most egregious crime against the idea of truth of which Kristof is guilty is spreading the ridiculous lie that Israel trains dogs to rape .., not only a lie but a biological impossibility. Yes, he actually put that canard in print. This is a conspiracy theory that was rightly laughed at by all intelligent observers for its absurdity and impossibility, until the “paper of record" decided to put its stamp of approval on the latest antisemitic blood libel.

What was Kristof’s primary source? 14 anonymous people, all of whom could easily have been lying with the quality of the “reporting," and the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a pro-Hamas conspiracy theorist hate group whose members the Ministry has identified as Hamas operatives. Run by people responsible for spreading the libels about organ theft in Gaza, supported October 7 massacre, denied the since-proven rapes of helpless Israeli women during the massacre.

*Beyond Atrocity: The Legal Case for Hamas’s Sexual War Crimes. Documenting Evil: The Evidence of Hamas’s Organized Sexual Violence, Weaponized Rape.*

A report: strongly legal and moral case that Hamas systematically used sexual violence as a weapon during and after the October 7 attacks. A two-year investigation by Israel’s Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children, led by Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, which compiled thousands of videos, photographs, and testimonies from survivors, witnesses, released hostages, and families. The report shows that rape, gang rape, sexual torture, forced nudity, mutilation, humiliation, and abuse in captivity were not isolated acts by rogue individuals, but recurring and organized patterns integrated into the broader massacre and hostage campaign.

The Commission’s goal is to move beyond simply documenting atrocities toward building prosecutable war-crimes cases under international law. Since many victims were murdered and forensic evidence was incomplete, the report relies on cumulative evidence: cross-referenced testimonies, archived footage, geolocation data, and repeated behavioral patterns across multiple attack sites. Hamas’s actions are war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocidal acts, and terrorism-linked sexual violence.

A major focus is the idea that Hamas weaponized not only bodies but also families and digital media. According to the report, some assaults occurred in front of relatives or involved coercion between family members, which the Commission terms “kinocidal sexual violence.” Hamas operatives filmed and distributed abuse footage online to terrorize Israeli society and psychologically torment victims’ families. The report also stresses that abuse continued during hostage captivity in Gaza, including sexual humiliation and assault against both women and men.

Overall, Israel is painstakingly documenting atrocities that much of the international community allegedly minimized or ignored. The report is a foundational effort to ensure future prosecutions and preserve historical truth against denialism.

*While Hamas Sexual Crimes Were Being Documented, the NYT Shifted the Narrative to Propaganda.*

The timing of the NYT hit-piece by an ‘opinion’ publication is politically motivated because it appeared just before the release of the Israeli Commission’s report on Hamas sexual violence.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the NYT of deliberately ignoring evidence of Hamas atrocities while amplifying lies against Israel, “blood libel” that inverted reality by portraying Israelis — victims of October 7 sexual crimes — as supposed perpetrators. That this reflected a broader anti-Israel media campaign intended to delegitimize Israel internationally and influence UN actions.

The NYT op-ed itself relied on interviews with “Palestinians” who claimed supposed “abuse” by Israeli soldiers, prison guards, Shin Bet interrogators, and settlers. However, the credibility of those accusations is questioned, to say the least, as wrll as the reliability of cited organizations and sources. The criticism even from Hamas-critic Palestinian activists, including Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, who warned that several advocacy groups cited in the article have histories of bias or factual problems.

The controversy is part of an information war surrounding October 7 and the Gaza conflict.
Israel is confronting not only Hamas militarily but also hostile narratives in major international media outlets. Unsubstantiated allegations (lies) against Israel are being elevated while Hamas’s documented sexual crimes are downplayed or ignored, creating a false moral equivalence between a democratic state and a terrorist organization.
