In more media news, The New York Times has come under fire after it refused to run a paid ad by the the American Friends Service Committee that referred to Israel’s war on Gaza as a genocide. The ad read in part, “Tell Congress to stop arming Israel’s genocide in Gaza now!” Joyce Ajlouny, general secretary for AFSC, called the move “an outrageous attempt to sidestep the truth,” adding, “Palestinians and allies have been silenced and marginalized in the media for decades as these institutions choose silence over accountability.” The AFSC is a Quaker organization.
