SUBJECT: Boycotting, Divesting, and Unsubscribing
This letter is to inform you that I am unsubscribing from The New York Times. I am horrified if not surprised by the recent report that your institution is historically and currently staffed with dozens of compromised journalists: some tied to pro-Israel lobby groups and think tanks, others veterans of the Israeli Occupation Forces, and still others living in stolen houses on occupied land. These material ties to Zionism help explain your paper's genocide denialism, which goes beyond simple mainstream media bias and constitutes full-blown journalistic malpractice.
I know I am not the only person who believes that investment in the Zionist project is incompatible with the business of truth-telling. Until the institution commits to a comprehensive review and overhaul of its hiring practices and reportage, I can neither financially support The New York Times Company or trust The New York Times as a source of news — about Palestine or anything else.
