Gottheimer Accuses New York Times of Serving Hamas Over Report on 14 Palestinian Abuse Claims
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 13
Josh Gottheimer said The New York Times was effectively on “Hamas’ payroll” after Nicholas Kristof published accounts from 14 Palestinians alleging systemic sexual abuse by Israeli settlers and security forces.
The backlash widened as Israel’s Foreign Ministry called the column “one of the worst blood libels” in modern media and said it was part of an anti-Israel campaign tied to U.N. pressure.
Ehud Olmert, whose remarks appeared in the piece, said Kristof misrepresented his views by placing his quote near allegations he said he did not validate or have knowledge to support.
The Times defended Kristof, saying he reported firsthand, relied on victims’ own accounts and independent studies, and used Olmert’s recorded quote accurately and in context.
With UN reports backing abuse claims, why is the focus on the messenger, not the alleged crimes?
Amid competing atrocities, is the international community pursuing justice for all victims with the same vigor?
