After a year of research, #NYT journalists have created a map of all of the damage done to buildings in #Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion.
More buildings in Ukraine have been destroyed, than if Manhattan was flattened 4x.
It is wild to me that the #NYT would call the right to be free from social consequences a “fundamental right” and it presumably made it past multiple reviews.
It is directly in conflict with First Amendment rights of free speech and association.
Which is the core set of (truly) fundamental rights which underpins their entire organization.
It’s a warning. No, like many other institutions which are critical to democracy: the Press cannot save us either.
1/3 Inaccuracies of the #NYT story ('ScreamsWithoutWords) and Sheryl Sandberg's new ridiculous hoax movie effort based on the shoddy, unsupported, unretracted mass r@pe NYT story. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6lcwepx4Nw/
This debunking is important since US audiences are primed to believe Palestinians are guilty of everything being suggested or done to them and more. (Sound familiar? #Superpredators, anyone?)

How Counterprotesters at #UCLA Provoked Violence, Unchecked For Hours
The #NYT used videos filmed by journalists, witnesses and protesters to analyze hours of clashes — and a delayed police response — at a pro-#Palestinian encampment on Tuesday.
New York Times business editor Andrew Sorkin seeks an economic boycott on anti-genocide students.
He wrote in a column:
“Many business leaders have told me they are deeply concerned about incidents of harassment against Jewish students that have taken place at and around universities like Columbia”
“Companies could tell universities that they won’t hire their students”
“Wall Street, private equity and venture capital firms may uniquely have [a pressure point]: They could threaten to stop managing the endowments” of the universities.
“Examining D.E.I. policies [Diversity, equity, and inclusion] [...] What would happen if the Wall Street firms also sent such questionnaires to the universities before deciding to work with them as clients?”
“The most common course of action so far has been to pull back on individual donations.”
The New York Times language, used to report on Israel's attack on Gaza, has been deconstructed by Juan Cole.
Funny and tragic at the same time. One example:
"DEADLY VIOLENCE: When Israeli settlers kill innocent Palestinian civilians. Contrast to TERRORISM, when Palestinians kill Israeli civilians...Russian renegades who attack Russian targets in Russia from Ukraine are never to be referred to as TERRORISTs, since they are not Palestinian."
