Writers Against the War on Gaza Lays Out New York Times’s Ties to Israeli Occupation, Gaza Genocide

HeadlineJul 17, 2025

A group called Writers Against the War on Gaza has published a dossier accusing The New York Times of pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian bias. The coalition’s research builds on decades of analyses showing how many high-ranking New York Times editors, journalists and executive officers hold material and ideological ties to Israeli occupation and apartheid; they also report Times editors have ordered reporters to avoid so-called inflammatory terms including “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing” and “occupied territory” — and even to avoid saying “Palestine.”
