How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power

from the New York Times

Six months into the war in the Gaza Strip, Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to bring it to a halt. Negotiations were underway for an extended cease-fire with Hamas, and he was ready to agree to a compromise. He had dispatched an envoy to convey Israel’s new position to the Egyptian mediators. Now, at a meeting at the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, he needed to get his cabinet onboard. He had kept the plan off the meeting’s written agenda. The idea was to reveal it suddenly, preventing resistant ministers from coordinating their response.

It was April 2024, long before Netanyahu mounted his political comeback. The proposal on the table would have paused the Gaza war for at least six weeks. It would have created a window for negotiations with Hamas over a permanent truce. More than 30 hostages captured by Hamas at the start of the war would have been released within weeks. Still more would have been freed if the truce was extended. And the devastation of Gaza, where roughly two million people were trying to survive daily attacks, would have come to a halt.

Two NYT Writers Caught LYING About Mpox Cases to Promote Deregulation of Big Pharma

by Scott Creighton

 

In an effort to promote the notion of deregulation of products to be shipped off to Africa, the New York Times published yet another scary Mpox Power Point Propaganda Piece this morning on the status of the outbreak on the continent of Africa in which they, once again, used horribly inflated numbers (SEE REAL NUMBERS OF CASES IN AFRICA FROM WHO TABLE AT END OF THIS ARTICLE) to justify asking for millions and millions of dollars to be pumped into the vaccine industry while allowing less and less oversight into the safety of those products.

It's not hard for them to research the subject. All they have to do is go to the WHO website for Mpox.

Here is what Elian Peltier wrote this morning:

'More than 17,000 people in Africa have been infected with mpox, a disease that is closely related to smallpox. Mpox has killed nearly 600 people on the continent, or about 4 percent of those infected. ' NYT

And here are the facts: total number of infections since 2022 in Africa is 6,062 with 55 deaths (1% not 4%) while this year, 2024, there have been a total of 3,659 infections with only 33 deaths (0.901%).

New York Times' Pulitzer Prize for Gaza war coverage a travesty of journalism

(al Jazeera, Electronic Intifada or Mondoweiss should have won the award based on what they claimed was the criteria. Hell, Haartz does a more honest job covering the conflict/genocide than the NYT does. For that matter, so do I. But this is just another way for the zionist establishment to put yet another phony stamp of approval on their hasbara lies. The West is irredeemably corrupt to the core.)

The New York Times has won the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the October 7 Hamas-led operation into the occupied territories and its aftermath even though the newspaper has been slammed for distorting the facts about the war and whitewashing the Israeli regime’s genocidal crimes in Gaza.

On Monday, the New York Times staff walked away with a Pulitzer in international reporting for its “wide-ranging and revelatory coverage” of Hamas-led Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the intelligence failures of theIsraeli regime and its no-holds-barredmilitary aggression on Gaza.

The award, understandably,triggereda backlash from pro-Palestine activistsas the newspaper has been widely criticized for its biased coverage of the war, for instructing journalists to avoid using terms like “genocide,” and for amplifying the bogus Oct. 7 “sexual violence” claims made by the Israeli regime...

from PressTV

It has been revealed by an online American investigation publication that the New York Times has instructed reporters and journalists covering Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” for the Palestinian lands occupied by Israel.

The Intercept obtained a copy of a New York Times internal memo that also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases.”

The memo — written by Times standards editor Susan Wessling, international editor Philip Pan, and their deputies — also asks journalists to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars.

The United Nations recognizes these areas as refugee camps that house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.

The memo “offers guidance about some terms and other issues we have grappled with since the start of the conflict in October.”

Several Times staffers told The Intercept that the memo proves the paper follows Israeli narratives...
