The New York Times was hammered for Jew hatred on Sunday after publishing an op-ed by Hamas’ handpicked Gaza City mayor on Christmas Eve, no less.
Yahya R. Sarraj wrote the piece which was run by the Old Gray Lady following Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) writing an Instagram post slamming Israel as a violent occupying force while likening Jesus to Palestinians, according to the New York Post.
The op-ed penned by Sarraj was titled: “I Am Gaza City’s Mayor. Our Lives and Culture Are in Rubble.” The premise of the piece was utterly predictable, blaming Israel for what Hamas and the Palestinians brought on themselves after slaughtering over 1,200 in Israel on Oct. 7.
The author excoriated Israel for allegedly “caus[ing] the deaths of more than 20,000 people” and for destroying or damaging “about half the buildings” in the Gaza Strip. The death toll is being reported by Hamas, so it is, to say the least, unverified.
The New York Times however appears to sympathize with terrorists and provided Sarraj with a platform to wail and accuse Israelis of genocide. The mayor of Gaza City, who was appointed by Hamas in 2019, was thrashed for the spurious accusations.
Comms expert Eitan Fischberger wrote on X, “On Christmas Eve, the @nytimes published an op-ed by a senior member of Hamas, Yahya Sarraj. I guess the head of the Taliban wasn’t available.”

“I wonder, would NYT also publish an op-ed from Al-Qaeda justifying 9-11? Of course not, but there is no red line to this paper’s Jew-hatred,” Arsen Ostrovsky, an international Human Rights lawyer and Zionist wrote on X.
“Unbelievable. This is a Hamas-appointed Mayor,” another person noted, adding: “They slaughtered and raped their neighbors and have the nerve to represent themselves as victims?”
Other commenters lined up to drag the leftist media rag.
“Literally a member of Hamas, you have no shame or dignity NYT,” an X user bluntly stated.
The New York Times of late has seemed almost schizophrenic in its postings but left-wing bias always wins out in the end for the outlet.
“Times critics also pointed out that former op-ed page editor James Bennet was forced out after the paper’s staffers were outraged over his decision to green-light a guest column by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.),” the New York Post recounted.
“Cotton used the op-ed in the summer of 2020 to call for a forceful military response to crack down on rioting by Black Lives Matter and Antifa demonstrators in the wake of the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police,” the outlet added.
Bennet wrote a column for The Economist in December that admitted the New York Times has a “liberal bias” that has “metastasized… to illiberal bias.”
He also charged that the media outlet went “from an inclination to favor one side of the national debate to an impulse to shut debate down altogether.”
X users tore into the New York Times over having a terrorist write an op-ed and posting it on Christmas Eve:
Unable to reach Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, the @nytimes settled on having Hamas write its guest essay.

He literally says in the op-ed that Hamas appointed him. pic.twitter.com/N1e4D9mas7

Did the NYT publish pro Nazi op-eds during WWII?

Had Hitler not killed himself, the NYT would have had him publish an op-ed “Why the Jews made me do it”

The NYTimes had a full mutiny on its hands after an editor decided to allow the publication of a Tom Cotton Op-Ed piece. But Hamas? Sure!
The latter apparently falls under the “freedom of opinion” umbrella. While the former, by a US Senator, is “clearly beyond the pale”.

NYT has been running Hamas propaganda for 2 months now and it’s getting worse and worse. This is just the natural progression of a news organization that has slowly turned itself into the propaganda wing of Hamas.

The NYTimes plays for the other team, and they have for several years.

There was also zero sympathy for the author, Hamas, the Palestinians, and Gaza:
The world has and would pour money on Gaza to make it wonderful. Instead you attacked Israel. Brilliant strategy.

This Hamas member and his people asked for every bit of it. Seeing a pre-Oct 7th photo of Gaza City, it never had to happen had Hamas not massacred innocent Jews and Israelis, kidnapped 240+. Included were kibbutz humanitarian activists who helped the people of Gaza and were…
