Comments on New York Times editorial against Israel

Submitted by Ira L. Jacobson


The following are the oldest current on-line comments on the NYT's anti-Israel editorial. - Ira

At least the NYT is consistent. In the 1930s they buried stories about Kristallnacht and the coming Shoah. They opposed Israel's independence and supported the British policy of preventing survivors reaching Palestinian shores. They called for retreat from Sinai in 1956, restraint on June 4th, 1967, and a cease-fire when Israel was routing Egypt's army in the Yom Kippur War. Let the NYT be dam*ed and let us hope that no Israeli "leader" ever listens to them.

    And though, this infamous piece of wet used toilet paper is still the Bible to most N.Y JEWS... May I ask what does it take for the stupid New York Jews to boycott this piece of crap and get it out of circulation once and for all ? Let Gestapowitz SOROS fund it if he wants...

    The newspaper is free to disagree with the Levy report. That doesn't give it the right to tell Israelis they must pursue only the set of policies that it favors. Samw123 • 5 hours ago

    Settlements are legal Eugene W. Rostow assistant secretary of state for the United States in 1967 who wrote UN resolution 242 wrote in several articles New Republic in 1991 that resolution 242 never meant for Israel to go back to the 67 borders. He also wrote that settlements were legal in the West Bank based on the fact that the British mandate in 1922 could not be rescinded. There is nothing in his writings in any agreements that say Israel had to go back to 67, and nothing was ever mentioned about land swaps.Read also what the other authors wrote about Resolution 242 in the January 15 2007 article in Camera titled. "Security Council Resolution 242 According to its Drafters"

    Lord Caradon: Quotes Res 242
    "Much play has been made of the fact that we didn’t say “the” territories or “all the” territories. But that was deliberate. I myself knew very well the 1967 boundaries and if we had put in the “the” or “all the” that could only have meant that we
    wished to see the 1967 boundaries perpetuated in the form of a permanent frontier. This I was certainly not prepared to recommend."

    "We could have said: well, you go back to the 1967 line. But I know the 1967 line, and it’s a rotten line"

    "Had we said that you must go back to the 1967 line, which would have resulted if we had specified a
    retreat from all the occupied territories, we would have been wrong."

    Dr. Jacques Gauthier, a Canadian lawyer who specializes in international law says that the San Remo Conference was the “final hearing” of a “world court,” the council of the five leading nations and victors of World War I. The “case” before the “court” began at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, where both the Jews and the Arabs of the Middle East submitted claims to the council to obtain independence and control of various territories. Gauthier calls April 24-25 in San Remo the “key defining moment in history” on the issue of title to Jerusalem and says that Chaim Weizmann called the decision the “most important moment for the Jewish people since the exile.”

    Please see the 5 or so YouTube video lectures on Jerusalem judea and Samaria international law by famed non Jewish international lawyer Dr. Jacques Gauthier. Unfortunely can't post links in this forum. I only say "non Jewish" because to some bigots might use the excuse that he is Jewish for his Pro Israeli legal opinion

    The Britsh Mandate was recognized by the league of nations in 1923. As per wiki "In June 1922 the League of Nations approved the Palestine Mandate with effect from September 1923. The Palestine Mandate was an explicit document regarding Britain's responsibilities and powers of administration in Palestine including 'securing the establishment of the Jewish national home', and 'safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine"

    The NYT is sort of digital toilet-paper.
    They're in financial trouble, having lost many of their readers because they were so obviously biased, left-wing, & have little or no credibility
    The NYT has a long long history of being anti-Israel. Before being anti-Israel they were just anti-Jewish. I think we all know how the NYT buried stories of the Holocaust in the back pages during the 1940's.
    That anyone, especially here in Israel, would give any credence, any weight whatsoever, to this BS newspaper is frankly unbelievable & removes credibility from itself (hello, JPost).
    The NYT has such luminaries as Thomas Friedman, a total moron, Krugman, who is not even sane, & others of their ilk.
    PRAVDA was a better source of news than the NYT, Pravda was more objective LOL
    The NYT is the place where the Lefty Obama misadministration leaks their BS, the NYT is sort of the official mouth-piece for Obama.
