The editor of the NYT opinion section was forced to resign for allowing @TomCottonAR to merely write an editorial that triggered the NYT snowflake millennial staff. Surely a head should roll for this journalistic travesty.
Scott Jennings@ScottJenningsKY

This New York Times "article" about Israel is such a journalistic atrocity that I actually feel stupid reading it out loud. If everyone at the NYT who is responsible for this is not fired, then the publication will lose whatever shred of credibility it has left.

Nicholas Kristof and every New York Times editor who worked on, or approved, his Antisemitic column should be fired. I’m no right-wing media basher. I’m a liberal with respect for the First Amendment who sees how the world’s formerly greatest paper has lost its way to hatred.

Several people asked this question, so let me explain. I deeply believe the best opinion journalism is based on new reporting, so my columns are rooted in travel and reporting. In this case, I saw a story and pursued it, and because I'm a columnist it ran in the opinion section.
Shannon Watts@shannonrwatts

The NYT had to know how controversial Kristof’s piece was going be, so why not break it as news instead of publishing it as opinion?

Today's "Random Duke Basketball Lore Generator" takes us back to Feb. 6, 1980, when Duke's 6-foot-7 Gene Banks dunked over Virginia's 7-foot-4 Ralph Sampson‼️ Banks, also known as "Tinkerbell" while starring at Duke, is one of the most athletic Blue Devils in history and among the program's best players to not have their jerseys retired.😈🏀🎥⬇️

The NY Times just published a piece claiming that Israeli soldiers used dogs to rape Palestinians. This is not a joke. I repeat. This is not a joke. I wouldn’t use this trash as toilet paper. The NYT has zero credibility left. Zero!

@NickKristof @jaypelosky This article is complete BS. The sources are all Palestinian or Hamas or agencies that have demonstrable bias vs Israel. The article was published in a once-esteemed paper with a similar bias. A Grolk search reveals the article can’t be trusted.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

@petersavodnik Peter, if Bibi should lose the election this year, one doubts these hatreds will change. The nonsense of”I support Israel, just not its govt” is subterfuge, an excuse to spread, or give permission to, antisemitism.

This should surprise no one. Destroying Israel is now the left's raison d'être. Everything else -- narrowing the wealth gap, universalizing healthcare, expanding the franchise, etc. -- is, by comparison, unimportant. For many years, leftists have insisted that they have no problem with Jews per se -- only those who believe in the Jewish state's right to exist. In fact, they have long regarded their opposition to Zionism as emblematic of their commitment to justice and inclusivity. I am certain that when they are accused of antisemitism, many leftists are genuinely confused. They don't imagine themselves hating anyone. They imagine themselves tolerating *everyone*. If they are intolerant at all, that is only because they are intolerant of intolerance. There are a lot of problems with this formulation, to say the least. The most important problem is that the leftist's anti-Zionism *necessarily* becomes antisemitism. The two are ultimately indistinguishable. After all, if you believe Zionism is a cancer that must be extinguished, and if you acknowledge that only Jews can enable or bring to life (actualize) Zionism, then you have a duty (a moral obligation) to hate Jews. Indeed, only by ridding the world of its Jews -- only by exterminating them -- can you be sure that Zionism will disappear forever. It's a troubling realization, painful even, but it's obviously, unavoidably true -- at least to the anti-Zionist, which is to say, the leftist. The vast majority Democrats have yet to arrive at this conclusion, but they are migrating in that direction, and fast. Those who smirk at the suggestion that the party of the left is embracing a violent antisemitism would never have imagined, just three or four years ago, that so-called progressives would celebrate students pretending to be Hamasniks, or that they would single out AIPAC for demonization, or nominate a would-be senator with a Nazi tattoo. But here we are.
Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱@elderofziyon

The Manhattan Institute did a survey of Democrats (registered voters plus Kamala Harris voters.) It asked about antisemitism, and the answers show that Jew-hatred is becoming normalized in the Democratic Party. 1/

Everyone should listen to this. The absolute worst feeling would be for me to be loaded up in the NQ pit one way or another and have Tudor coming in with HUGE size th other way. Richard Dennis would give us a chance to cover or get right sided. Tudor just came in an bulldozed us with relentless size all day. He was/is one of the greatest of all time. The best feeling would be for me to be short 50-100 big NQ(not minis) and have Tudor come in selling them. I would LOAD up.

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time. He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha. He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life." He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett. But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them. Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does. Enjoy!

The article never once mentions Mossad and what Mossad found, causing Trump to exit the deal. Nor is there mention of what the release of billions of dollars by Obama did for proxy and weapons development. Only deep in the article do we learn the JCPOA didn’t regulate ballistic missiles. Total hatchet job.

The sequence: Israel took out Nasrallah and shattered Hezbollah’s command while severely degrading Iran’s military position. Tehran and Hezbollah were too weak to save Assad. Now Syria’s new government is helping choke off Iranian resupply routes to Hezbollah even as Israel keeps pounding the terror group. For the first time in decades, Israel and Lebanon are in talks over a possible peace framework.
Amit Segal@AmitSegal

Israel’s presence in southern Lebanon has two objectives: protect northern residents from direct rocket fire and choke Hezbollah’s “logistical oxygen line.” But to fully strangle the organization, Israel needs—and has received—the help of another pair of hands: those belonging to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. In the eighteen months since his ascent to power, al-Sharaa has been guided by one instinct: survival. In the “New Syria,” that survival is defined by three pillars: centralization of power, international legitimacy and a desperate need for financial rehabilitation. These interests have converged into a singular, pragmatic mission: the expulsion of Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, from Syrian soil. In a recent visit to the Chatham House research institute in London, al-Sharaa stated that Syria “paid a heavy price for Hezbollah’s involvement” and that his duty now is to “cut the lifeline” of the organization passing through his territory. Analysis by the Institute for the Study of War points to a dramatic change in Syrian behavior. Recently, Syrian forces exposed a massive smuggling tunnel in the Homs area and intercepted a shipment of 6,000 explosives and missile components hidden inside a “humanitarian aid” truck. Videos are also circulating on Telegram showing Syrian soldiers manning roadblocks near the Lebanese border, searching Hezbollah trucks and tearing down posters of Nasrallah. In one video, a Syrian officer is heard telling a Hezbollah operative, “The days when Syria was your backyard are over; now we are the ones in charge here.” The crackdown has even escalated into direct military disruption. Between April 15 and 19, Syrian security forces thwarted several rocket attacks directed at Israel by seizing a truck containing ready-to-fire rocket launchers and arresting members of a Hezbollah-linked cell. These actions are hardly the result of al-Sharaa’s secret Zionism. Rather, by persecuting the network, he is proving to the international community and the Trump administration that Syria is no longer a forward base for Iran. The Syrians aren’t doing this for free, either. In addition to an American rehabilitation package and the removal of sanctions, President al-Sharaa received a significant political and economic boost from the European Union this week. The EU mission proposed a full renewal of the 1978 cooperation agreement with Syria—a dramatic step providing the country access to development budgets, technical assistance and trade concessions. Alongside this, the EU announced a support package of 620 million euros for 2026-27, part of a wider rehabilitation plan expected to reach 2.5 billion euros. Outside of the West, al-Sharaa received a royal welcome in the Gulf. While Israel celebrated its Independence Day on Wednesday, the Syrian president arrived for an official visit to Saudi Arabia and met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Hezbollah was a key pillar of support for Ahmed al-Sharaa’s predecessor, Bashar al-Assad, and it was ultimately Israel’s crippling of the terror group that afforded the former jihadi the sudden opportunity to race for the grand prize in Damascus. While Israel rightly remains deeply distrustful of its operation’s beneficiary, it’s nice to see the new regime pay us back for the favor.

As a rift between Democrats and the Israeli government grows, former senior advisor under President Biden, Amos Hochstein, says it demonstrates what “Prime Minister Netanyahu has sacrificed Israel's interests in the United States.” “The most important asset Israel has is not its military or its intelligence, it's the special relationship with the United States that has been bipartisan for so many decades,” he says. “He has destroyed that because he has decided to become not just part of the Republican party, but he's decided to become just an appendage of Donald Trump.”

Clock ticking on Hamas. They must disarm. “Hezbollah is alone in Lebanon, Hamas is alone in Gaza, the Houthis are alone in Yemen, and most importantly: the ayatollahs are almost alone in Tehran.”
Amit Segal@AmitSegal

A person who recently participated in talks with Hamas returned somewhat confused. He discovered that the terrorist organization, which has been at the center of global attention for the past two years and sparked a regional war with international repercussions, is led by a mediocre, panicked and inarticulate bunch. All the way home, he wondered whether Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif were of a higher caliber but were eliminated, or if this is merely a collection of local murderers that Israel, through its failures and blindness, turned into a terrifying and sophisticated monster. The war in Iran seemingly saved Hamas, temporarily. The deadline set for dismantling the organization has passed, 600 trucks loaded with goods enter Gaza every day, and the organization’s terrorists still rule the roost in western Gaza. Hamas leaders, however, do not think so. In talks in Cairo, terror is evident on their faces. Qatar has abandoned them to their fate, out of fear of Trump and anger over the backing the organization’s leaders gave to Iran while being hosted in Doha’s luxury hotels. With Iran, the situation is even worse. Hamas has repeatedly pleaded with Tehran to be included in the ceasefire agreement, but unlike Hezbollah, the Iranians do not even bother to reply with a negative answer. Hamas complains in the talks that Israel violated the agreement, yet pays no price for it; quite the opposite. The organization is beginning to internalize that no one will let them off the hook regarding demilitarization, and that even the most basic weapons must be handed over rather than kept for self-defense. The negotiators have identified a change in their strategy, aimed at stalling for time. Perhaps somehow the world will take an interest in them again. In the meantime, even the planned flotilla to Gaza is suffering from sparse registration. Greta’s attention has drifted elsewhere. Is there a chance Hamas will collapse under the pressure and hand over the tunnel maps and tens of thousands of Kalashnikovs? Here lies a difference between Israel and the U.S. In Jerusalem, they do not believe Hamas will offer more than a symbolic handover, which they will also condition on a deep IDF withdrawal. In the United States, they are much more optimistic. They believe that Turkey and Qatar are operating with different interests than Hamas, and without them, the organization will collapse under pressure. The plan is to demilitarize area after area in Gaza, clear the tunnels, hand over the weapons, and bring in a local police force (so far, a quarter of a million locals have registered). Even if Hamas does not hand over its last weapons, Washington believes its men and armaments will be restricted to a very limited area that will be much easier to conquer. The great achievement of the war is the dismantling of the Axis of Resistance into its separate components. Hezbollah is alone in Lebanon, Hamas is alone in Gaza, the Houthis are alone in Yemen, and most importantly: the ayatollahs are almost alone in Tehran.
