Jewish activists in New York City announce a protest against The New York Times tomorrow, following a similar rally at the newspaper’s headquarters in Manhattan two weeks ago.
The protesters are demanding the retraction of a widely-criticized New York Times column that alleged systematic sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
The demands also include disclosing the column’s editorial timeline, retraining staff on anti-Zionism, and the dismissal of the column’s author, Nicholas Kristof.
The protest, tomorrow at 5 p.m., is led by the EndJewHatred advocacy group, alongside several relatively new activist groups — the Movement Against Antizionism, Brooklyn BridgeBuilders, Hineni, Stop Antizionism, and IMPACT.
Aside from EndJewHatred, the groups all launched in the wake of the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, to counter the ensuing surge in anti-Jewish discrimination in the US.
“Stop the presses. End the lies,” advertisements for the rally say.
