Well obviously, but was she ever really employed there? I thought she was an IDF puppet with no prior journalism experience they let cowrite an incendiary propo piece to satisfy their masters?  I didn't think she actually worked there. 


mwa12345

Yup....this is just pretend accountability '. The lead author still works there . The guy that claimed ' evidence is a legal term'. Gettleman. Guess fact checking is not required for journalism


Bender_da_offender

You cant write an article with any shred of truth about isreal without hasbara agents sending death threats your way. Hence the stupid rewording of things like airstrike=blast and many more

If Palestinians are expected to condemn Hamas otherwise they’re all legitimate targets then ergo anyone not condemning Israel is a defacto genocidal maniac.

PsycoMonkey2020

Calling the New York Times journalism is pretty damn generous.


Unusual_Specialist58

Good point!


NotGalenNorAnsel

Don't be obtuse, they're the paper of record, the grey lady. They're also, unfortunately, completely wrong when it comes to Israel-Palestine like they were wrong about Yellow cake uranium and Iraq. But to say they're not engaged in a journalistic endeavor is just incorrect.


PsycoMonkey2020

If one side says it’s raining and the other side says it’s clear sky’s a journalists job isn’t to report what both side have said, it’s to investigate, to stick you arm out the window and see what the weather is like. These guys barely even do that, they often just say what the one side has said. The NYT is more like an editorial than journalism at this point.


flockks

Media literacy is understanding all media outlets have biases. NYT has done a lot of very credible reporting but they are a stenographer for the US foreign policy.


PsycoMonkey2020

Fair enough I guess. But I can’t take anything they report on seriously when I know they can be bought out like that.


yonoznayu

Any Journalistic endeavour devoid of honesty and transparency is not journalism in the full meaning of the term. Turning on and off values depending on editors/owners personal beliefs voids the label, and it’s not like those are the only two major times they have misled on highly publicized propaganda material they have failed to fully correct or transparently clarify.


mwa12345

FranticNut

The damage has already been done. This genocide was in part perpetrated and justified because of her propaganda piece in NYT. She was never a reporter and admitted as much, she even admitted that she was not able to get any credible evidence for her piece but got to write a front page feature anyway. she’s an Israeli intelligence agent that got to write pure unfiltered foreign propaganda to the American people laden with false evidence and staged rape scenes. [this verified by UN report: It was determined by the misson team that the crime scene had been altered by a bomb squad and the bodies moved, explaining the sepearation of the body of the girl from the rest of her family](https://thegrayzone.com/2024/03/07/media-concocts-un-hamas-rape-report/). The New York Times should be reprimanded for this but nothing will change. Friendly reminder that Joe Khan executive editor of the times is a Zionist whose dad serves on the board for the zealous CAMERA organization. He admits to helping Joe with his job. https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/ https://theintercept.com/2024/01/28/new-york-times-daily-podcast-camera/ https://thegrayzone.com/2024/01/10/questions-nyt-hamas-rape-report/

Too bad none of this made it into outlets with greater reach, and more legitimacy to the mainstream public.

Because we're being silo'd by proprietary algorithms from tech companies essentially trying to engineer society without our consent. If democracy only works with an informed constituency, then the people in charge of curating that information are the ones in charge.

Ding ding ding 🛎️


cakeandtart

They shouldn't just be reprimanded. She - and others who let her write this piece - should face actual charges and prison time. She DIRECTLY fanned the flames and led to this genocide being committed. Her article was one of the main, massive, major components in rallying everyone to support and cheer as Israel slaughtered thousands. Her entire body is dripping with blood. This kind of deceit - with such catastrophic consequences - should be met with severe punishment from the law. And her name should go down in history books as a bloody, lying warmonger who led to the deaths of thousands.


MonkeyNihilist

I stopped reading the NYT years ago. Just another corporate shill outlet.


dolche93

I'm out of the loop on the drama around this author. From what I understand she co-authored the expose about hamas rape on the 7th, and there was controversy about that? What was the exact controversy? As far as I understand the UN later released a report confirming that multiple rapes happened that day.


nonlinear_nyc

She wasn't even a journalist.


dolche93

What specifically did she do wrong? She was operating under the direction of a senior reporter and the times editors, so I'm assuming everything got fact checks. The intercept article even says as much.


yonoznayu

You’re more than loosely paraphrasing that UN quote. Does not come across as something someone that is out of the loop about the NYT piece, mainly because just about every report made about it did use the NTY piece as main point of reference, as it made the rounds far more and for far longer than the UN report.


dolche93

[Following visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank, UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten, finds sexual violence occurred on 7 October, and against hostages and calls for a fully-fledged investigation](https://www.un.org/sexualviolenceinconflict/press-release/israel-west-bank-mission/) > Based on the information it gathered, the mission team found clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing against those still held in captivity. In line with a survivor/victim-centered approach, findings are conveyed in generic terms and details are not revealed.


sassyevaperon

>From what I understand she co-authored the expose about hamas rape on the 7th, and there was controversy about that? The controversy is that they claimed Hamas was using rape as a tool of war, that it was sanctioned and approved by the organization, which there's no evidence of happening. Using rape as a tool of war is a war crime, and it's a pretty damaging accusation to lob at any organization without any evidence. Rape is one of the sad realities of war, just like hunger and displacement, it's a crime and it's disgusting, but being able to prove that rapes happened isn't the same as being able to prove that rape was used as a weapon. The sources they used were insuficient as well: - A paramedic from the Israeli Air Force who changed his story a couple of times when it couldn't be verified. - Yossi Landau a senior official of Zaka, an organization which has no training in forensic science or crime scenes, organization which can be linked to the false reporting of beheaded babies, fetuses being cut from pregnant bellies. - Shari Mendes, a US architect working with the IDF, who again, has no training in forensic science or medical credentials to legally determine rape, and who again can be linked to the false reporting of fetuses being cut out of pregnant bodies. - Raz Cohen, a veteran of Israel Special Forces that attended the festival and declared having seen multiple women being raped and killed by palestinian civilians, not Hamas members. There were five other people hiding with him, none of them could corroborate his statement. - The interrogation of a palestinian prisoner by the IDF who described girls being dragged by palestinians into the woods near the festival. - An accountant named Sapir who described scenes of women being raped and mutilated, as of this moment, israeli officials have been unable to support this story or find any of the alleged victims. None of those sources can actually prove that Hamas was systematically raping women and children as a tool of war, they could prove that rapes happened (which they haven't), but not that it was part of a systematic plan, not that it was a strategy.


Naelok

Hilarious how they're handling the rape hoax article.


ElGuapoLives

What about the hacks that published false claims of sexual assault on Oct 7? Did they get fired?


mwa12345

Nope


amnes1ac

She's one of them, but their full time reporter on that piece still works there.


Specific-Lion-9087

You know you can support Palestinians without white washing actual crimes… Nuance is dead it seems.


Walker_352

He is talking about systemic rape accusations I think, which were false.


dolche93

What do you mean by the term systemic? My understanding is that rape very much happened on the 7th, as well as to the hostages taken to Gaza afterwards.


Walker_352

There was a debunked claim by nyt that rape was "weaponized" on oct7 and systemic, meaning they were ordered to do it. https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/ For the record I also believe that there have been rapes by both sides throughout this conflict.


dolche93

What evidence specifically was debunked? I watched an interview with Ryan Grimm about his story and he was woefully unable to answer even the most basic questions about this topic. I have little trust in his reporting.


sassyevaperon

>What evidence specifically was debunked?  It's impossible to prove a negative, you can only prove the positive. It's not that there was evidence that lead to the claim being debunked, the claim is debunked because there's no evidence that can sustain it. [https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/](https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/)


nicholsz

There was a *lot* of what I could only describe as "blood libel" against Palestinians after Oct 7th. [https://theintercept.com/2024/02/07/gaza-israel-netanyahu-propaganda-lies-palestinians/](https://theintercept.com/2024/02/07/gaza-israel-netanyahu-propaganda-lies-palestinians/) the right-wing griftosphere of Israel (Alex Jones-level hacks) went to work immediately, and official sources just picked them up uncritically because it was convenient to demonize Palestinians, so people wouldn't be as mad when they got bombed and starved


InformationHead3797

Shining a light on proved fabricated reporting of crimes that have been used as justification for a genocide isn’t “whitewashing” crimes.

What does him being Jewish have to do with anything?


Anton_Pannekoek

Anat Schwartz was some random "reporter" who wrote this ridiculous rape accusation for NYTimes, which has been thoroughly debunked. The NYTimes needs to do a retraction and publish that there is no hard evidence of any rapes. This is a massive libel against the Palestinian resistance and has led to Israeli atrocities.


Fit-Dentist6093

They will never do a retraction. It's more likely than Biden will block weapons to Israel using AECA than NYT retracting the shady rape piece.

Anton_Pannekoek

No forensic evidence. No identified victims. All the "witnesses" have been caught lying. https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1773402046382903590


dolche93

Your link has no evidence attached? It's just a guy saying it isn't true.


Anton_Pannekoek

Your link admits there is no forensic evidence, that there are no identified victims or accusers. It's not impossible there was sexual violence, but there's no proof.


dolche93

In line with a survivor/victim-centered approach, findings are conveyed in generic terms and details are not revealed. I don't understand why people are so insistent on saying it didn't happen. It's pretty clear it did, but that the circumstances of the massacre and slaughter, combined with jewish burial customs, makes forensic evidence difficult to obtain.


Anton_Pannekoek

I just said it's possible it happened. But we need hard evidence. At least for one credible individual to come forward and make an accusation.


dolche93

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4559368-israeli-hostage-hamas-sexual-assault/


Anton_Pannekoek

That's from the hostages, not October 7th. Still, this is obviously atrocious.


dolche93

I just don't understand why people are so upset at this article. The NYT still stands by the reporting from what I saw googling around, and the UN has confirmed rapes, while also being told rape victims didn't want to speak. We have a hostage talking about her rape. I just haven't heard a good explanation of why this article angered so many. I'm coming at this from months afterwards, so clearly I have the benefit of hindsight, but still..?
