‘NYT lies, Gaza dies’: Protesters deface New York Times building with red paint

NYT GAZA

LIES DIES

DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE
- Wrong one, it's a NO SAFETY SMOKING FIRST:

This is some activism I can get behind.

The red paint visually goes so hard and really gets the message across.

Don't dead. Open inside.

I mean, literally not? The meme about Don't Dead Open Inside was that the words went top to bottom then left to right. This is the opposite. It reads left to right, top to bottom.
Hmmm...no. Not very wise.

Aight criticizing NYT staff for having "ties to Israel" is coming awfully close to just saying "NYT has too many Jews". You do know that service in the IDF is mandatory for all Israelis right? Having a lot of Jewish staff didn't stop them from bringing down Weinstein. Leftists hate identity politics except for this one particular instance.
Also, literally the NYT headline right now: Anger Over Starvation in Gaza Leaves Israel Increasingly Isolated
"Global outrage at the Netanyahu government’s actions has grown since the war began, and the suffering of children in the enclave has accelerated the disdain."
- Jew != Israeli. Conflating the two is antisemitic.
- Do you know how many mass resignations have occurred at the NYT, since the invention of the terrorist state of Israel, because of their blatant misrepresentation —and often complete cover-ups— of massacres and crimes against humanity perpetrated by it?
  As a tool for manufacturing consent, the NYT is second to none
- You do know that service in the IDF is mandatory for all Israelis right?
  I was just following orders didn’t work for the nazi’s. It shouldn’t work for Israeli’s.
- Frequency and tone matters. Like the BBC it might cover Palestine opinion partially (probably when there is back lash or denying it is hard even when governments that support Israel acknowledge it) but if it is turning a blind eye 90% of the time then it is denial:

- Ask old Jewish man Bernie Sanders how race can be different from views/actions! It's not a difficult concept...

Actual delusional vandalism. The sole reason this movement is frowned upon so much

Lol, no, "the movement" is frowned upon by some because they want to finish up their genocide in peace.
America will soon be the only country in the security council not to recognize Palestine. This is America's genocide, not only Israel's. So of course some folks in America will be a bit touchy about people criticizing it.
Some red paint on a building is pretty mild compared to, I don't know, genocide? Whoever is more upset by this than by every single truck refused entry to or bomb dropped in Gaza needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
"oh no those poor buildings" okay but you think child murder is fine lmao
- Not just the children, but the women and men, too
- Never said that, never implied that. Simply stating that two wrongs dont make it right.
  Should be common sense
No this is called a real protest. Protests that are quiet and don't bother anyone happen every day - and are ignored every day.
Here we are, talking about this one, like the rest of the nation.
if this is delusion then I don't wanna be sane. if opposing genocide means I'm insane then I don't wanna live in your reality.
may your blood-soaked hands eternally haunt you as you wake up from your nightmares every day and you can't tell the difference between dream and your "civilized" reality
- Opposing genocide you can rightly do, I share that sentiment.
  And never have I defended the genocide in Gaza.
  Christ.
  Is it really. REALLY that difficult to think: "Oh, genocide is bad. But we also shouldn't use vandalism"
Vandalism > genocide to you, huh?
Actually the reason is government repression and concerted media efforts. People have been protesting peacefully for decades to demand human and international rights to be upheld for the Palestinian people. People have been seeking nonviolent means such as boycott and divestment, only to be met with campaigns accusing that of being "antisemitic".
- You do not attack media outlets. That's it. Don't defend it.
I can’t imagine seeing people protesting genocide and calling it a “movement.”
WWII certainly had big “movement” energy in that case, but it was mostly millions of troops moving on a nation that was also committing genocide, it was just bigger and more aggressive at that point
- there are zero troops moving on Israel
How is it "delusional"?

Nice. They need to be held to account.

Why did they choose pigs to caricature zionists?

capitalist pigs
- And here I thought they used it because it's tradition to portray Jews as pigs for European anti-semites for centuries now.
Because even jews should be digusted with zionists.
- Many are.
You seem more upset with a fictional possibility of an antisemitic symbol than with the actual genocide that’s currently being perpetrated by the Zionists
- It’s not a fictional possibility. And I can be upset about more things than one.
- Don‘t know, didn‘t vote for that government.
There's a few non-antisemitic takes. First off, it's a depiction of NYT specifically. We should not immediately conflate this with Zionists in general.
First is 'capitalist pigs'. Israel as a project might be Zion to Zionists, but to organizations it's a way to grab property and develop more speculative goods.
The other can be from the perspective of NYT as a news org 'pumping out cartloads of shit'.
A final one I can think of is the pigs from Orwell's Animal Farm. The pigs in it used manipulative rhetoric to get the other animals to both obey them and included standing by as their friends were executed for 'the greater good'. At the End of the book, the pigs are no different than the humans the farm animals drove out to secure their freedom, dressing in human clothes, walking on two legs, living in the farmer's house, and making deals with the farmers. It was a critique by Orwell of communist movements being hijacked to only benefit their vangaurds rather than the prolateriat as a whole, but I can see how the metaphor can fit for a news org siding with Zionists instead of writing truthfully about the Gaza genocide.

Pigs eat & dish out the bullshit. Sad. Genocide. Hush hush war. People lack care.
