Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New York Times called Baghdadi a “terrorist,” but scrubs “terror” from article about killing of “Palestinian” jihadi

Nov 17, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why? Because terrorism against Israeli civilians is just fine with the New York Times, which has demonized Israel and whitewashed the jihad for years.

“New York Times Scrubs ‘Terror’ from Islamic Jihad Story,” by Gilead Ini, CAMERA, November 12, 2019:

Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was a “terrorist” who led a “terrorist group” that committed “acts of terror” before ultimately losing his life during a U.S. “counterterrorism action,” the New York Times reported in numerous stories following the ISIS leader’s death in late October.

Those are all accurate, precise terms to describe the head of an organization that’s clearly guilty of targeting civilians with violence for political aims.

But now, two weeks later, after Israel’s military killed senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Baha Abu al-Ata, the T-word is nowhere to be found in the New York Times report about the incident. More puzzling is that the first versions of the article, published in the early morning hours of November 12 after the terrorist was killed, did accurately note Islamic Jihad’s terror designation — but that information was later scrubbed from the story.

Why?

Like ISIS, Islamic Jihad is indeed designated globally as a terrorist group, including by the European Union, United States, Canada, Japan, and others.

Like al-Baghdadi, Abu al-Ata is a senior leader of an organization responsible for countless attacks targeting civilians, including mass casualty bombings of Israeli restaurants, markets, buses, and shopping malls. In one of many such attacks, an Islamic Jihad suicide bomber walked into a crowded falafel stand in April 2006 and detonated his explosives, killing 11 people including an American teenager who succumbed to his wounds on Mother’s Day….

    Not surprising, seeing how the NYT described 9/11 as “airplanes taking aim and bringing down the WTC”…

    The usual MSM equivocation goes like this..

    islamic terrorism has nothing to do with islam.
    .
    isis are a minority of extremists who follow iSlAm:but that has nothing to do with islam.

    islam is a religion of peace : iSLAm is a peaceful religion

    islamic jihad has nothing to do with ISlaMiC jihad….

    The NYT shields the Pally terrorists from criticism? This in one the most heavily Jewish populations in the world. How insensitive of them.

    Do American Jews put any faith in the NYT? They shouldn’t.

      The New York Times buried the Holocaust in its back pages during the Third Reich (see “Buried by The Tines” by Laura Leff).
      The publisher Arthur Sulzberger grandfather during the Third Reich was a Classical Reform Jew who was adamant that Jews were strictly a religious group with no National rights., so he was anti-Zionist and due to did not want to publicize how Hitler separated the Jews from Germany and the other European nations as a separate nation. He din not want to give “ Hiylef a Victory over his own ideology”. He also due to this actively opposed the efforts to establish a Jewish State, before, during, and after World War II.
      But the New York Tines is still the “Bible” for many liberal Jews.

    How come`? The NYT is teh jewish newspaper! Are they suicidal?

    • gravenimage says

      No, the New York Times is not a Jewish newspaper.

      Moreover, its owner, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, though his father was ethnically Jewish, was raised Episcopalian.

      Its editor is Dean Baquet is an African-American from New Orleans. He is not Jewish, either.

      The New York Times, in fact, has a long and ugly history of antisemitism.

        But I think that nevertheless the Times is the “Bible” of many liberal Jews.
