NY Times conceals Israeli support for ISIS

New York Times conceals Israeli support for ISIS terror

Dear Margaret

In your Feb. 12 essay on the “Global expansion” of the NY Times you seem deeply concerned about journalistic integrity and “core Times values.” 

Yet, when I queried you via e-mail on January 22 (and received an automated acknowledgment), as to why the Times suppressed all mention of news concerning Israeli defense minister Moshe Ya'alon stating, on the record on Jan. 19, that he preferred ISIS to rule in Syria —  if it was a choice between that terrorist group and Iran —  the Times ignored my concern about this outrageous concealment of a highly newsworthy statement which denied your readers “the right to know."

Sincerely,

Israeli preference for ISIS suppressed by the media

Here is our letter to the New York Times concerning the failure of the newspaper to report the Israeli Defense Minister’s preference for the ISIS terrorist organization, as we informed you in this column yesterday:

To the Editor

Is there a reason why the Times has not reported the January 19 statement of Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon that he prefers that ISIS take over Syria, if it is a choice between ISIS and Iranian forces?

As you know, if ISIS were to conquer Syria, the Christian and Alawaite populations in that country would be nearly exterminated.

Why isn’t the Israeli Defense Minister’s preference for the ISIS terrorist organization news? 

Sincerely,

Michael Hoffman
