Jews protest outside NY Times office against Kristof column alleging sexual abuse of Palestinian inmates

Jews in New York City protest outside the New York Times’ Manhattan office against a recent column by Nick Kristof alleging systematic Israeli sexual abuse of Palestinian inmates. The column has come under heavy criticism from the Israeli government and supporters of Israel.

Around 200 demonstrators gather on the sidewalk, chanting, “New York Times, shame on you,” and, “We will not be silent.”

The protest is organized by the End Jew Hatred group, Hineni, and groups that oppose anti-Zionism.

The demonstrators hold signs that say, “Antizionism gets Jews killed,” and “J’accuse” next to the Times logo, a reference to the Dreyfus affair in 19th-century France in which a Jewish army officer was falsely accused of treason. One sign compares the paper to Der Sturmer, a Nazi newspaper.

“Hamas abuse covered up! Nick Kristof made stuff up!” one man shouts.
