NYT Kristof Column on Israeli Sexual Abuse Triggers Unprecedented American Outrage

What was said

"I cannot overstate, it's still going on. They were calling for Nick Kristof to be fired, for the New York Times to be sued, for Nick Kristof's life to be ruined. There was a woman named Deborah Lipstadt, who was the antisemitism envoy for the Biden administration, and she reposted some just hardcore Zionist AIPAC type of guy who had a poster basically saying that these kinds of lies about Jews were the reason why Julius Streicher, who's the propagandist, Nazi propagandist who wrote for Der Stürmer, was executed, basically implying that Nick Kristof committed crimes that merit the death penalty."

Greenwald detailed an intense reaction from Israel supporters to Nick Kristof's New York Times column documenting sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees in Israeli facilities, including calls for Kristof's firing and threats. He argued the extreme response demonstrates American Israel loyalists care more about Israel than the United States, noting he has never seen such outrage over reporting about any other country, including critical US military coverage. Israel announced plans to sue Kristof and the Times, which Greenwald called legally futile.
