Fire Nicholas Kristof!

"The Israeli government rejects suggestions that it sexually abuses Palestinians, just as Hamas denied raping Israeli women."

Who is Nichola Kristof: I'm an Opinion columnist for The New York Times, writing about foreign and domestic issues. What I Cover I often report from around the world.

"The Israeli government rejects suggestions that it sexually abuses Palestinians, just as Hamas denied raping Israeli women. Israel welcomed a United Nations report documenting sexual assaults against Israeli women by Palestinians but rejected the report’s call to investigate Israeli assaults against Palestinians. Netanyahu has denounced“baseless accusations of sexual violence” made against Israel."

“Rampant sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners is a thing; it’s been normalized,” said Sari Bashi, an Israeli American human rights lawyer who is the executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel. “I don’t see evidence that it has been ordered. But there’s persistent evidence that the authorities know it’s happening and are not stopping it.”
[https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opinion/israel-palestinians-sexual-violence.html]

Claims of Canine rape

Other Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors have also cited reports of police dogs being coached to rape prisoners. The journalist said that when he was released, an Israeli official warned him: “If you want to stay alive when you return, do not speak to the media.”
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silence_That_Meets_the_Rape_of_Palestinians]

See also: Sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians during the Gaza war § Use of dogs

Kristof reported that a journalist detained by Israel in Gaza in 2024 said that, while stripped naked, handcuffed, and blindfolded, he had been raped by a dog "with encouragement from a handler in Hebrew".^[1] Kristof wrote that there had been other reports from Palestinian prisoners and human rights groups that police dogs have been trained to rape prisoners.^[1]

Some may wonder whether Palestinians fabricated accusations of sexual assaults to defame Israel. To me that seems far-fetched because none of those I interviewed sought me out or knew who else I was speaking to and they were reluctant to speak. Yet there is some evidence that Israel’s sexual abuse has become so frequent that norms are changing and Palestinian victims are becoming a bit more willing to speak out.

Think of it this way: The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day. It persists because of silence, indifference and the failure of American and Israeli officials alike to answer Netanyahu’s query: Where the hell are you?

 "They carry signs that say, “Resist the antizionist hate movement,” and, “Antizionism gets Jews killed.”

The protesters are demanding the retraction of a widely-criticized New York Times column that alleged systematic sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

The demands also include disclosing the column’s editorial timeline, retraining staff on anti-Zionism, and the dismissal of the column’s author, Nicholas Kristof.

“Fire Kristof,” the protesters chant. [Times of Israel]

UPDATE on 6/15/26 of  Nicholas Kristof :

New York Times probes Nicholas Kristof columns after report he failed to disclose campaign donor connections

"Kristof returned to the Times in 2022 after his Oregon gubernatorial bid was deemed ineligible

Kristof has pushed various Gates Foundation’s initiatives, covered Gates’ prediction that gene editing could cure AIDS and even mentioned Gates referring to a book as a "must read." None of those pieces included a disclaimer that Gates donated to his campaign and Kristof’s "What Trafficked Girls Think of Jeffrey Epstein and His Pals" made no mention of Gates.

The Times and Gates did not immediately respond when asked for comment. 

It’s hardly the first time Kristof has caused headaches for the Times. Last month, Kristof penned the infamous opinion piece that sparked outrage with allegations of serial sexual abuse by Israelis against Palestinian detainees.

Kristof said a Gaza journalist claimed he was "mounted" by a dog before adding, "Other Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors have also cited reports of police dogs being coached to rape prisoners."

[https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-probes-nicholas-kristof-columns-after-report-he-failed-disclose-campaign-donor-connections]

"Protesters stood inside NYPD barricades ... holding signs that read "Shame on The New York Times for publishing anti-Zionist libels" and "The New York Times: All the blood libel that's fit to print."

The Times defended the piece, saying it was "backed by independent studies," and rejected the notion that the article would be retracted."

 Re to hyphen or NOT to hyphen.

COWorker or co-worker OR COOP aka, co-op. There is a movement afoot to erase the hyphen. COW orker still offends me. (Big Time) So,  I am adding this addendum discussing the erasure of the hyphen.

Conceptual Clarity

 
Advocates for the unhyphenated "antizionism" argue that the spelling change strips the term of its camouflaged academic legitimacy, exposing it as a distinct form of prejudice.

The "Antisemitism" Precedent: The push to drop the hyphen mirrors the widespread style change for "antisemitism". The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and major media outlets (like the AP and The New York Times) dropped the hyphen in antisemitism to stop legitimizing pseudo-scientific "Semite" race theories. [1, 2]

Dropping the hyphen in "antizionism" is a stylistic shift scholars and watchdogs use to denote a stand-alone ideology. While "anti-Zionism" (with a hyphen) implies legitimate political debate, "antizionism" (no hyphen) represents a modern, totalizing hostility against Jewish self-determination that often crosses into antisemitism. [1, 2, 3]

STOP TRUMP’S WAR ON IRAN ......Will it ever End

 

STOP TRUMP’S WAR ON IRAN-
An initiative of The ANSWER Coalition

 

On February 28, Donald Trump launched an illegal, unprovoked war on Iran.

"The US and Israeli militaries have since made over 3,000 strikes across the region, killing more than 1,300 Iranians — at least hundreds of them children — while eight American service members have already died and Trump openly admits many more will follow.

Every major war the United States has been forced to end was stopped not by the conscience of politicians but by sustained pressure from ordinary people who refused to accept the killing done in their name .... to expose this war for what it is: an illegal act of aggression waged to enrich oil executives and weapons manufacturers ...

 It’s time to build a massive anti-war movement in the U.S."

Hands off Iran Protests - April 8, 2026

The April 8th actions occurred on the same day the U.S. and Iran agreed to a tentative 14-day ceasefire. Despite the pause in fighting, Iranian leadership and protesters remained highly skeptical, citing fears that the fragile truce could collapse into a wider conflict.  

 

 ...organized by groups like the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, in major U.S. cities, demonstrators demanded an immediate end to U.S. military engagement and sought diplomatic solutions to prevent a wider regional conflict.

Since the start of the Iran War on February 28, 2026, Iran’s “Ghost Fleet” continues active operations—loading cargo, transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and sailing east toward China—though the U.S. blockade may now be restricting exports.

UANI (United Against a Nuclear Iran) tracking shows ongoing illicit maritime activity. An ongoing U.S. blockade initiated on April 13 targets vessels entering and exiting Iranian ports and those carrying sanctioned or contraband oil but does not apply to all Iran-linked ships. U.S. forces focus primarily on large VLCC tankers rather than smaller carriers.

UANI Applauds U.S. Enforcement
Actions on Iran’s Ghost Fleet

(New York, NY) – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) applauds President Trump and his administration for the latest sanctions designations action targeting entities and vessels involved in the illicit transport of Iranian oil and petrochemicals.

Seven of the eight vessels designated by the U.S. Treasury Department had previously been listed on UANI’s Ghost Armada for evasion of American sanctions.

These vessels include FLORA (IMO 9133070), HAUNCAYO (IMO 9180164), ILL GAP (IMO 9294305), MAYMEI (IMO 9133082), RCELEBRA (IMO 9286073), THEA (IMO 9298284), and YONGAN OCEAN (IMO 9288758).

View UANI’s complete Ghost Armada list here.

One of the most frequently deployed tactics in evading oil sanctions is “flag hopping.” This involves the repeated switching of a ship’s “flag” – which permits legitimate global travel and docking rights – to different national registries. Often accompanied by the formation of new shell and front companies, ownership and name changes, and even alterations to ships’ physical markings, flag-hopping is a blight on legitimate maritime commerce.

The Best Deal With Iran Is No Deal At All

''It’s rare I cite National Review on the pages of Geller Report, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Dan McLaughlin is pessimistic about Trump’s ability to get a good deal from Iran’s regime, and suggests a better alternative in his view: no deal at all.''

[https://gellerreport.com/2026/06/the-best-deal-with-iran-is-no-deal-at-all.html/]

''Fanatics don't become rational because they've been pummeled militarily or because they are punished economically.

Neither the bombing they've endured, nor any blockade the U.S. can mount, can end their quest for a nuclear weapon with which to dominate the world and end the current world order. There is only one way to end the threat they pose to western civilization: end them! You can't bargain with them, frighten them or bankrupt them.

The only thing that will work is total decapitation of the regime leadership down to the last man at the national, provincial and local level.''- (lost link)

Inside Rasht's bloody crackdown:
witnesses detail secret removals of bodies

*Rasht is the largest city on Iran's Caspian Sea coast*

Security forces opened fire on protesters, blocked medical aid and secretly removed bodies as they crushed demonstrations in Rasht, northern Iran, during January’s nationwide uprising, eyewitness accounts and documents sent to Iran International show.

Witnesses described security forces shooting at protesters, blocking aid to the wounded, demanding money from families before returning bodies, and pressuring relatives to hold secret burials and avoid public ceremonies.

The new accounts add to an Iran International public documentation campaign that has gathered testimony saying protesters in Rasht were driven into narrow market passages, trapped as fire spread and fired upon by security forces during January’s unrest.

Arab states can no longer pretend
Tehran’s threat is manageable

For decades, a dangerous illusion governed the Persian Gulf. Arab capitals knew the Islamic Republic was hostile. Yet, they believed the threat could be managed.

They treated Tehran’s subversion as a chronic illness, not a fatal one. The Arab states of the Persian Gulf opted for quiet diplomacy. Tehran opted for proxies and intimidation. This tense balance was always a house of cards. That house has collapsed.

[https://www.iranintl.com/en/202606066241?source=share-link]

 Can Trump crack Iran's negotiating playbook?
The Strait of Hormuz represents
another test of Iran's leverage.

For decades, the Islamic Republic has used the threat of disruption in the waterway as one of its most powerful strategic tools. But according to Homayoun Falakshahi, who leads Kpler's crude oil analysis team, that leverage may already be eroding.

Falakshahi said oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen dramatically since the war and the US blockade on Iranian ports. Before the conflict, roughly 30 oil tankers transited the waterway daily. Today, the average is closer to one or two.

More importantly, he argues that the crisis is accelerating efforts by Gulf states to reduce their dependence on the strait altogether. Abu Dhabi is already expanding export capacity through Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, while other producers are exploring alternative routes.

"Five years from now, that leverage that the Islamic Republic currently has probably will not exist anymore," .... "Iran may be overestimating the long-term value of its position. ... They always overplay their hand,"....

For now, Iran is testing the limits: in Lebanon, in the Persian Gulf, at sea and at the negotiating table.

Trump may have disrupted Tehran's playbook. But whether he has cracked it will depend on whether pressure produces a durable agreement—or simply another pause in a decades-long confrontation.

Nakba 2026 Washington Sq NYC

 May 15, 2026 - Washington Square-NYC. the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, or ''catastrophe'', when over 750,000 Palestinians were ''ethnically cleansed'' from their homes and countless villages; they claim they were wiped off the map during the establishment of Israel.

The 'Pali" version of  the so called Nakba also claims that since  1948, the Israeli government has continued the Nakba by carrying out a policy of occupation, apartheid, and genocide enabled by U.S. weapons.

Nerdeen Kiswani's excerpted speech gives a look-see at the reasoning behind Within Our Lifetime's lock-step version of 1948. (she actually spoke for a full 15 minutes)

The rally and march in Washington Square were organized by New York-based Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime, with contingents led by groups like the Muslim American Society and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Also in attendance were members from Brooklyn Against War, Al-Awda, and the New York Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, as well as a contingent of "Orthodox" Jewish (aka Neturei Karta) protesters led by Rabbi Dovid Feldman. [https://fightbacknews.org/articles/new-york-hundreds-rally-at-washington-square-park-to-commemorate-al-nakba-day]

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a national organization of revolutionaries fighting for socialism in the United States. "Our home is in the working class."  ... This Muslim Socialism connection includes New York's Mayor Mamdani.

Nerdeen Kiswani then asked in the chant video, "Will they stand with the 'palestinian' revolution or look away and make things look as normal." She continued, " The people of Gaza have let us know there is no normal. Normal died on October 7th." (The only reference heard regarding the murders of innocent Israels on October 7th)) Flickr Slide Show

  

. "The Nakba lives in every bombing campaign … but the struggle also continues to live with every resistance fighter, with every Palestinian mother who continues to bear children." Nerdeen Kiswani

“The state of Israel and Zionism must be abolished.”

Before the very public Asr prayers, heard the speaker refer to Islam as a "Living Tradition". (Did some research on that near the end of this post.)

 
.Should be obvious what they are protesting for and against in the Flickr slideshow

.NEXT a look at the pro-Israel counter to the anti-Israel rally

The police were forced to re-locate a pro-Israel table that had been surrounded by the anti-Israel protestors. But the anti-Israel protestors followed the pro-Israel contingent to where the NYPD relocated them. And continued harassing them. Near the end of photos is anti-Israel protestor, Emily Marnell. She seemed to start the whole kerfuffle with the police earlier causing them to be moved.

A final note on what is a Living Tradition

ISLAM: a Living Tradition

Nov 26, 2025 —  This perspective re-frames Islam as a living tradition, deeply intertwined with local cultures and histories, while also engaging universal human questions of meaning, beauty and transcendence.

... to understand Islam beyond doctrine and law ... a book that will not only be useful to students embarking on the study of Islam, but will also help foster inter-religious understanding.”

The Institute of Ismaili Studies [https://www.iis.ac.uk/news/2025/november/ali-asanis-new-publication-living-islam/]

What is the living tradition?

... the living tradition ... it’s something .. done by a large group of people and passed down through generations. For example the Amal of Ahlul Madinah

The ʿAmal of Madinah (Practice of the People of Madinah)

 Ahuhl: translates to "people," "family," or "household."

Amal: Meaning:Hope; Labour, hard work; Pure.

 The ʿAmal of Madinah is The Original Way of the Salaf.

Salaf (Arabic for "predecessors" or "ancestors") refers to the first three generations of Muslims.... the Companions of Prophet Muhammad, 

Sunnah refers to the teachings, sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad.

Is this something that’s used as a source of sunnah?  ... something they use to establish things not found in the Quran,  like how to pray.

Mutawatir (Arabic: متواتر, "successive") is an Islamic term for a highly corroborated transmission of knowledge.

And is the living tradition related to Mutawattir? ... when a practice is mass transmitted such as salat?

Salat (or Salah) is the daily ritual prayer performed by Muslims,

Core Expressions of the Living Tradition

• The Five Pillars: The foundational acts of worship that create a rhythmic connection to God daily, annually, and across a lifetime.
  
  • Shahada: The declaration of faith.
  • Salah: The five daily prayers.
  • Zakat: Charity and almsgiving.
  • Sawm: Fasting during Ramadan.
  • Hajj: The pilgrimage to Mecca.

Ismailis are a branch of Shia Islam who believe in the absolute unity of God and the finality of Prophet Muhammad.  ... the spiritual successors to Prophet Muhammad—who provide ongoing moral guidance and interpret the faith for contemporary times.

[https://www.amazon.com/Islam-Middle-East-Living-Tradition/dp/140511603X]

Mayor Mamdani ... follows the Twelver branch of Shia Islam, the one that forms the basis of Iran’s Islamic Republic.

Is Zohran a product of the Academia’s Iran Lobby

The Joint U.S.-Israel Attacks Against Iran in 2025 and 2026 Have Exposed Some of the Most Egregious Pro-Iran Academics to the General Public

What drives the members of Academia’s Iran lobby is equal parts hatred of Israel and U.S. foreign policy. Throw in a measure of Netanyahu and Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the combination becomes an academic Iran lobby that the regime couldn’t purchase even if it was selling millions of barrels of oil every day.

Most members of academia’s Iran lobby don’t really care about Iran or the Iranian people. Their main concern is the Islamic Republic’s status as the leading state sponsor of terrorism, especially terrorism targeting Israel. If the Islamic Republic falls, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis will likely follow.

The Islamic Republic of Iran provides ideological sustenance to its academic lobby. Without its actual “resistance,” the academic pretend “resistance” would have no role models.

May 5, 2026 Synagogue Great Israel Land Sale

“The Great Israel Real Estate Event.”

 

 For the second time in six months, protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue, which was holding an event to promote real estate sales in Israel. A heavy police presence kept the two groups apart. ...as the acrimonious  conflict in the Middle East once again spilled over into its streets. Dozens of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators also assembled at the site.[NY Times] 

 

PAL-Awda NY/NJ [@PAL_Awda]

ALL OUT TO PROTEST the "Great Israel Real Estate Event" Tues, May 5 6:30 pm 163 East 67th Street New York, NY 10065 All out to protest the illegal sale of #StolenPalestinianLand! We will not be silent as ethnic cleansing is being actively promoted in our neighborhoods.

FYI: The HISTORICALLY correct names for the "West Bank"  are JUDEA and SAMARIA. "West Bank" is anti-Jewish agitprop.

From our Muslim Commie Mayor ....

''Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the event on Tuesday. Sam Raskin, his spokesman, said Mr. Mamdani was “deeply opposed” to the event because it “includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank.”... “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians,”   

In January- AFTER his election

The Mayor has struggled to earn the trust of segments of the Jewish community because of his criticism of Israel and his history of pro-Palestinian activism. But he also won the votes of many Jews who said they were inspired by his campaign and either unbothered by or supportive of his views on the Middle East. He has repeatedly vowed to protect the security and celebrate the contributions of Jewish New Yorkers, and has been endorsed by many progressive Jewish public figures and groups.[ny times]

The event at Park East on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, was organized by Tivuch Shelly, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and the West Bank to English speakers.: The “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” [https://www.tivuchshelly.com/]

The NYPD established a large security perimeter, blocking streets around the synagogue, which restricted access for both protesters and potential attendees.

Hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose the sale of land in Israel and the occupied ''West Bank'', causing chaotic scenes.

They chanted, “We don’t want no two states, we want all of it,” “End the settler Zionist state,” “Death to the IDF,” and, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”[Times of Israel]

" ... the protest was “intended to create fear in the hearts of Jewish New Yorkers and stigmatize our community.” “This is part and parcel of the rising antisemitism that we are facing,” .... 

HENCE: The “buffer zone” 

“I’m not familiar with the Park East Synagogue. And having been standing where both protesters and counter-protesters were standing, you would not know where it was,” Bernstein said. “I’m actually still figuring out where the synagogue is because the buffers are so large that it’s impossible to know.”

A Jewish couple was surrounded and harassed last night outside the Park East Synagogue event. Masked individuals shouted. "You rape men, you rape children. "You f**king sociopath, I see it in your eyes." Jews are starting to feel the danger of the Mamdani leadership.[@canarymission]

“These people are harassing Jews,” said Tim Rosen, 44, a lawyer from Queens. “They’re targeting Jews at a synagogue, it’s disgusting and vile and something I never thought I’d see in New York City. These people don’t want to free Palestine. They want to target Israel and kill Jews.” [NY Post]

It’s Time to Dismantle the Apparatus Terrorizing American Jews. [https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-last-straw/]

The terrorizing of Jews attending a real estate discussion at New York City’s Park East Synagogue last week must be the last straw. Every few weeks, there’s another incident. Another synagogue surrounded by protesters chanting “we need to make them scared.” Another Jewish worshipper put in a chokehold. Another commercial event forced to cancel because organized mobs showed up to intimidate attendees. Another neighborhood placed under siege while elementary schools lock their doors early. And every time, the response follows the same script: politicians condemn it, community leaders call it unacceptable, a few arrests are made for disorderly conduct, and then — nothing. The organization that planned it moves on to the next event. No more. It’s time that we took action to ensure that the organization that was responsible for organizing the terror campaign is bankrupted and dismantled. ... We need to stop pretending these are isolated incidents. They are not. They are part of a coordinated national campaign. What they are doing is illegal and it is long past time to use the laws on the books to end their campaign of terror.

 

 

Former President, Bill Clinton - “I killed myself trying to give them a State for the Palestinians. I had a deal that they rejected that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. Whatever. They rejected it all.” The Palestinians never wanted peace.

They do not want PEACE.
 Not with the Jews

... Mr. MAYOR Mamdani released a statement on the Israeli interception of a humanitarian aid flotilla in international waters, “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians.” [NY Times] So, what can the future possibly hold if even the Leftist NY Jews continue to ELECT the likes of  Zohran Kwame Mamdani  as MAYOR of NYC.

PEACE will not be possible.

 NO BUFFER ZONES

Karen L LichtBraun Herut New York City

The chaos in Midwood yesterday was due to permitting the anti-Zionists to protest in the street without a permit. Until laws for protesting are enforced, we will continue to see harassment of Jews and physical violence. It will escalate because the Jew haters know there is no enforcement.

There was a huge turnout from the Midwood community and beyond. The unity was amazing. We had each other’s backs. It made a difference. A message was sent from the Jewish community at the Midwood protest
