The New York Times corrected a piece Monday that called the Palestinian Authority’s very real practice of giving payments to the families of terrorists a “far-right conspiracy.”
The Leftist establishment media has created empires while delivering fake news on a routine basis. It is adept at labeling falsehood truth and reality a “far right conspiracy.”
It is a well-established fact that the PA issues stipends, often referred to as “martyr payments,” to the families of those who are killed or imprisoned after attacking Israeli targets….The PA doled out more than $347 million to families of terrorists who had murdered Jews, increasing the amount to $403 million this year…..This is an item written in to the Palestinian Authority’s budget, not a ‘far-right conspiracy.’
The media’s unyielding resistance to the truth about jihad terror is peculiar, particularly considering the devastating impact of jihad activity upon victims of such terror. The brazenness of the New York Times in denying this truth demonstrates a disregard for journalistic integrity and is an insult to the intelligence of readers. Did it not occur to the New York Times’ editors that they might be called out on such a big lie?
Denying Muslim no-go zones was another favorite of many leftist media outlets. They referred to these violent, sharia-patrolled zones as “conspiracies” of the “alt-right,” the “far right,” the “xenophobes” and other such nonsense. These danger zones have proliferated throughout areas of Europe that were once respectable and peaceful. Photos of car fires and police in riot gear in those areas are now commonplace.
The number of victims of jihad in the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere continues to rise, in part because of leftist enablers, apologists and appeasers.
“NY Times Corrects Piece Calling Palestinian Terror Payments a ‘Far-Right Conspiracy,’” Alex Griswold, Washington Free Beacon, April 24, 2018:
The New York Times corrected a piece Monday that called the Palestinian Authority’s very real practice of giving payments to the families of terrorists a “far-right conspiracy.”
A Saturday Times profile of Campbell Brown, the head of news partnerships at Facebook, questioned whether the former journalist could help build better relations with media outlets, given allegations the social network spreads “fake news.”
“Ms. Brown wants to use Facebook’s existing Watch product – a service introduced in 2017 as a premium product with more curation that has nonetheless been flooded with far-right conspiracy programming like ‘Palestinians Pay $400 Million Pensions For Terrorist Families,’” the Times reported.
That sentence was criticized by Israeli and Jewish journalists who pointed out it is a well-established fact that the PA issues stipends, often referred to as “martyr payments,” to the families of those who are killed or imprisoned after attacking Israeli targets.
“As those of us who are in the reality based community know, the Palestinian Authority’s financial support of terrorists and their families is very, very far from a conspiracy, far-right or otherwise…,” wrote Liel Leibovitz at Tablet. “Read the real news, and you’ll learn that, in 2017, the PA doled out more than $347 million to families of terrorists who had murdered Jews, increasing the amount to $403 million this year.”
“This is an item written in to the Palestinian Authority’s budget, not a ‘far-right conspiracy,'” tweeted The Jerusalem Post‘s Lahav Harkov. “You can quibble over the use of the word terrorists vs. prisoners (and I would defend my word choice) but not the fact that they’re making the payments.”…..

NYT ! The newspaper whose secret motto is “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”
They condescend to the public as if THEY (the NYT) can handle the true facts, but the public must be spoonfed “NARRATIVES” that disguise the true facts, so that the public may be more efficiently HERDED into compliance with the political agenda of the 1%.
The NYT is owned and operated by the 1% and is their organ.
Do not buy the NYT … it is working against the interests of the hard-working people whose toil and sweat the NYT lives off of as mega-rich plutocrats.

I won’t be wasting my money on the New York Times.

The NYT has been whitewashing savagery since at least the days of Walter Duranty singing the praises of the bloody and oppressive Soviet Union ninety years ago.
mortimer says
The Pally government (JUNTA) is PROMOTING TERRORISM by paying almost $400 million a year to the families of DEAD TERRORISTS whose massacres of unarmed civilians are glorified as courageous deeds of valor.
Any country that gives aid money to the Pallies is indirectly promoting TERRORISM and the SECRET bank accounts of the MEGA-RICH Pally leaders.
Dave says
The NYTimes is in the advertising business. The more controvercy in the news the better for circulation. In this context nothing wrong with an off hand comment if it stirs interest. This is often cited as a critic of Talk Shows but it appllies to “the paper of record” as well. Its hard to take them seriously any more and that is why web pages like Jihad Watch, Frontpage, Gateway Pundit etc are thriving.
melek-ric says
Yes, typical of the MSM these days. Print a dubious allegation or assertion on the front page then follow it up some time later with a tiny retraction hidden on page 9. The meme has in the meantime been successfully transmitted and only a handful of readers even notice the retraction, let alone think about it.
Lilly perry says
This is a website that lists every day the terror attacks in the name of Islam,around the world. its unbelievable … https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=Last30

Yes–they do good work. That’s were the conter with the 33,000+ Jihad terror attacks on the right-hand side of the page here comes from.
Sam says
The term “ENEMEDIA” coined by Pam Geller, if I am not mistaken, is so Correct.
underbed cat says
Apparently the NYT has not walked thru the streets of Ramallah or knows much about the word sakat or sees the artwork that glorifies jihad terror on the walls
Ray Jarman says
Let’s see how the NYT handles the news that Congress is demanding that the State Department provide the information concerning the PLA’s providing terrorists and their families money for attacking and killing innocent civilians of all ages and both sexes as well as the IDF. As bad as the rag sheet is, the effects of the communist led on line deceitful masochistic fools such as Facebook and Twitter are even worse as Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and Jamie Glazov have been discriminated by them for apprising the world of the truth concerning the evil and cover up of this evil cult called islam.

” It is adept at labeling falsehood truth and reality a “far right conspiracy.”
There has been no greater victim of that than Alex Jones. Shame on so called conservatives that malign and shun him.
gravenimage says
Alex Jones claims that 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombings were “false flag operations”–in other words, that there is no Jihad, and this is all done by Americans to make Muslims look bad.
Is this something you subscribe to? In that case, why are you even here at Jihad Watch? *Ugh*.

New York Times “corrects” piece calling Palestinian Authority’s jihad terror payments a “far-right conspiracy”
……………………….
Ludicrous–the Palestinian Authority makes no secret of its payments to “Martyr’s” families, or to Jihadists in Israeli prisons:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Authority_Martyrs_Fund
The “Palestinian people” love these programs rewarding Jihad terror–they are pretty much universally popular. When facing criticism about it, Abbas said that efforts to stop the martyr payments an “aggression against the Palestinian people”.
Hamas has their own similar program.
