More than 150 contributors to The New York Times have pledged to cease writing for the newspaper’s opinion section, accusing it of biased reporting on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the war in Gaza. In a collective letter, the signatories, including prominent activists, artists, and politicians such as Rima Hassan, Chelsea Manning, Rashida Tlaib, and Greta Thunberg, criticized the paper for its alleged role in perpetuating misinformation and justifying violence. They argue that withholding their work is the only way to challenge the Times’ influential position in shaping public discourse. The letter outlines three key demands: a review of anti-Palestinian bias, the establishment of new editorial standards for Palestine coverage, and the retraction of a controversial December 2023 article titled ‘Screams Without Words,’ which they claim falsely accused Palestinians of sexual assault during the Hamas-led October 7 attack. The signatories also called for a US arms embargo on Israel, emphasizing that their demands are neither impossible nor unreasonable, citing the Times’ past editorial reforms during the AIDS crisis and its apology for errors in Iraq War reporting. The letter underscores the Times’ global influence, accusing it of obfuscating and justifying Israel’s actions in Gaza, thereby perpetuating decades of biased coverage.
