A laughable panel, titled “What Can Be Done To Reverse Hate in America,” featured New York Times columnist #Bret_Stephens, known for his hateful screeds about “the disease of the Arab mind,” and his colleague Bari Weiss, whose recent book How to Fight Anti-Semitism posits a false equivalence between right-wing white nationalist violence and left-wing criticism of Israel. The panel was moderated by Jodi Rudoren, the Times’s former Jerusalem bureau chief and the new editor-in-chief of the Forward, where she has pledged to support “civil discourse,” yet stands behind an editor’s demonstrably inaccurate accusations of antisemitism at a recent campus protest.

The narrowmindedness and parochialism of the #New_York_Times editorial line, with its reflexive sympathy for Israel and overt contempt for the left, was on full display. Weiss compared anti-Zionist Jews to Stephen Miller, the ferociously anti-immigrant Trump administration official with proven white nationalist ties, saying both are “involved in movements that put the target on the backs of other Jews.” Stephens, unsurprisingly, had no concrete advice for how to reverse hate other than that pro-Israel student activists should quote a Cee Lo Green song from 2010 and tell their BDS-supporting peers “F U.”

Bret Stephens and the Crushing Fragility of Entitled Men – Mother Jones

In a grand gesture he’s sure to take back, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens announced on Tuesday that he was leaving Twitter.

“Time to do what I long ago promised to do,” Stephens wrote before promptly deactivating his account. “Twitter is a sewer.”

The abrupt departure brought to a close a very weird 24 hours for Stephens and the New York Times that began with word that the newspaper had a bedbug infestation. David Karpf, an associate professor at George Washington University, tweeted in response: “The bedbugs are a metaphor. The bedbugs are Bret Stephens.” This joke was too much for Stephens, whose career is rooted in mocking political correctness and safe spaces on college campuses and also writing about Palestinians as if they were vermin.

‘Terrorism’ and antisemitism

After all, would any elected official, in Washington or anywhere else, accept the notion that the Palestinians (or Lebanon or Syria) had the right to use force against the “terrorist threat” posed by Israel’s FLLF? Or the right to target Eitan, Ben-Gal, Dagan or Sharon for assassination (targeted killing) because of their direct role in this “terrorist” campaign? Or the right to target the kibuztim where, according to Bergman, many of the FLLF bombs were manufactured? Can one imagine a columnist in a major US newspaper claiming that civilians accidentally killed in the process should be considered mere “collateral damage,” or insisting that such uses of force should be celebrated as courageous, determined actions in the moral fight against the scourge of “terrorism” around the world?

On what basis then can Israel, the United States, or any other country claim the right to target terrorist leaders, bomb terrorist bomb making facilities or use deadly force against demonstrators because of an alleged connection to a terrorist organization?

Acknowledging that Palestinians have been the perpetrators of “terrorism” against Israel but also the victims of Israeli “terrorism” thus threatens to upend the entirety of the hegemonic discourse on “terrorism.”

Un élément peu commenté en France, c’est l’embauche par le New York Times d’un éditorialiste climato-sceptique. C’est très remarquable : l’un des plus grands fleurons de la presse libre du monde libre, qui se présentait comme un indispensable bastion de la résistance aux élucubrations fake-news de Trump, dès lors que la nouvelle administration américaine est ouvertement climato-sceptique, s’empresse d’embaucher un éditorialiste climat-sceptique (dans le but prétendu de présenter à ses lecteurs une plus grande diversité de point de vue).

Juan Cole, d’ailleurs, est un des rares à clairement faire le lien entre cette soudaine complaisance avec un précédent épisode de compromission qui allaient dans le sens (dangereux) de l’administration en place :

Bret Stephens at the NYT is the essence of fake news.

The New York Times gave us the Iraq War with phony stories about aluminum tubes and Iraqi nuclear bomb projects, and biological weapons on bumpy Winnebagos on Iraq’s potholed roads. The paper has a lot of great and honest reporters, but a little bit of arsenic can ruin an otherwise fine meal.

After hyping itself as antidote to fake news, New York Times hires extreme climate denier

The New York Times — which advertises itself as a defender of truth in the Trump era — just hired an extreme denier of #climate science as a columnist.

Bret Stephens was most recently deputy editorial page editor for Rupert Murdoch’s deeply conservative and climate-denying Wall Street Journal, where, in 2015, he wrote that climate change — along with hunger in America, campus rape statistics, and institutionalized racism— are “imaginary enemies.” He will now take those views to the New York Times.

Stephens is unusually extreme and divisive even for a climate science denier, also comparing scientists and those who accept their findings to Stalinists, anti-semites, and communists.

Bret Stephens’s greatest hits
▻http://mondoweiss.net/2017/04/bret-stephenss-greatest

I was shocked last night when I learned that Bret Stephens has been hired as an op-ed columnist by the New York Times. Being an idealist, I’ve always believed that the Times is going to begin to reflect progressive opinion on Israel and Palestine; but this hire told me I’m dreamin. It goes to show, there really is a neoconservative bloc at the Times. That’s why Jodi Rudoren was Jerusalem bureau chief (and told readers about “a sliver of opportunity” in Gaza). It’s why Bill Kristol was a columnist for a while. It’s why editors always let through stupid headlines about Jerusalem. It’s why the op-ed page is all Zionist, from Roger Cohen to David Brooks to waffling Tom Friedman. And why the paper slags the boycott movement against Israel without rejoinder from pro-BDS voices.

But let’s hear from the temperamental Stephens himself; let’s see why I think this hire is so problematic. What characterizes Stephens’s speech is an irritable callowness that easily flares into prejudice. That prejudice is conventional neoconservative, and Jewish-centric with a boyish gloss. A former editor of the Jerusalem Post— the launching pad for Wolf Blitzer and Jeffrey Goldberg — Stephens is often Islamophobic.

Sheldon Adelson wants U.S. to nuke Iran, likens two-state solution to Russian roulette

Sheldon Adelson believes that allowing the Palestinians to have a state is like playing Russian roulette. He doesn’t know the difference between Shi’ite and Sunni Muslims. And he thinks that being one of the richest men in the world is “better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.”

At a panel at Yeshiva University billed as asking the question “Will Jews Exist?" the actual subject appeared to be: “What does Sheldon Adelson think?”

Organized and moderated by Shmuley Boteach, the celebrity rabbi and author, the rambling two-hour October 22 talk hopped from whether Israel should bomb Iran without U.S. consent to whether President Franklin Roosevelt could have stopped the Holocaust. Co-panelists Richard Joel, the president of Yeshiva University, and Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens spoke when spoken to. But they mostly seemed along for the ride.

“With an existential threat against the state of Israel in the form of Iran… and with assimilation being so rampant in the United States, and with that devastating, catastrophic Pew research poll that just came out… we wanted to quickly pull a public forum,” Boteach said while introducing the event.
