Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

More on Nicholas Kristof’s Source That Claimed IDF Trained Dogs to Rape 

By

Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times columnist who will forever be remembered for his preposterous claim that the IDF trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners, has just been shown up again. It turns out that one of his main sources, the Committee to Protect Journalists, quietly removed, just before his piece appeared, the names of six terrorists from its list of “journalists” whom Israel killed. More on the CPJ’s attempt to hide the true occupation of those “journalists” can be found here: “Credibility crisis: ‘NYT’ rape story source caught removing terrorists from its ‘Gaza journalists’ list,” by David Isaac, JNS, May 25, 2026:

The Committee to Protect Journalists, one of the key sources in The New York Times May 11 report by opinion writer Nicholas Kristof accusing Israel of systemic sexual violence against Palestinian security prisoners, has been caught removing terrorists on its list of purported “journalists” killed by Israel.

Kristof’s report, which has been crumbling under scrutiny, described CPJ as “a respected American organization,” but as JNS reported already in 2024, CPJ’s list of journalists was virtually identical to a Hamas-supplied list, a fact exposed by veteran British reporter David Collier.

By adopting the Hamas list, CPJ helped propel a falsehood within a falsehood, that in addition to the wanton killing of civilians, Israel was targeting journalists.

Now, The Washington Free Beacon reports that HonestReporting, an Israeli media watchdog group, discovered “that in the weeks leading up to the publication of the Times piece on May 11, CPJ surreptitiously removed six names from its running list of ‘Journalist casualties’ in the Gaza War.”

The six names were removed by CPJ between March 29 and May 7, without any “contemporaneous acknowledgment of error from the organization,” the Free Beacon reported. All six were actually “terror combatants.”

This further undermines the credibility of sources used in the Times’ piece, the Free Beacon reported.

The six names that CPJ deleted without mention included a member of “Hamas’ Jabalia Battalion,” “a terror combatant for Islamic Jihad,” “a commander in the Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades” and three other known jihadist militants.

Their names were added to a “clarifications and corrections” page on CPJ’s website only after HonestReporting’s Salo Aizenberg brought attention to the matter, the Free Beacon reported. CPJ still doesn’t mention their terrorism ties, identifying the six only as civilian journalists or media workers….

The Times, meanwhile, has not deigned to respond to any of the detailed criticisms of Kristof’s shameful piece. Instead, it has adopted a never-apologize-never-explain attitude, saying that it “stands by” Kristof’s reporting. It is, after all, the New York Times, and being the New York Times, it has no need to respond to the devastating criticism of Kristof’s sources. Pride goeth, Grey Lady, before a fall, and Nicholas Kristof now joins the Times’ Russian correspondent in the 1930s, Walter Duranty, the infamous apologist for Soviet rule, as one of the two worst journalists in the long history of the New York Times. That is quite an achievement.

Comments

  1. It’s not complicated. Nothing subtle here. Kristof is a POS 💩💩💩. The NYT used to mean “something”. That was a long time ago and it certainly wasn’t consistently so. Cancelled my subscription more than 20 years ago. I’m sorry I oversubscribed in the first place. My mistake.

  2. I don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for people like Hugh Fitzgerald looking into and reporting things like this, but I here record my appreciation that he does. If only the whole word was listening.

  3. From the feature article:

    “The Committee to Protect Journalists, one of the key sources in The New York Times May 11 report …”

    Should be:

    The Committee to Protect Leftist anti-Semitic Propagandists

    There, fixed it.

  4. I think there are bigger chance that it is muslims that rape dogs (or goats or other animals) than dogs rape muslims.

  5. Nicholas Kristof is officially put forward as a candidate for a “Duranty” award for his work for the newspaper that employed Stalin’s favorite NY Times reporter,Walter Duranty, during the Holodomor.

    As we all know, the way to tell if something is true is if “many people say so”. Especially if it’s a sensational, impossible to disprove claim, and comes out on the same day as a proof-laden documentary about Hamas’ attrocities on Oct. 7, 2023, debuts. Just make sure the claim is shocking enough to distract the news away from the documentary.

    And don’t forget photographs of inbred “Palestinian” children suffering from muscle waisting conditions being passed off as “starving” while their healthy/fat mothers are next to them in the photo.

    Yes, using a total lack of any basic journalistic standards will certainly put you in the running for a Duranty award.

  6. Hasn’t Kristoff also downplayed Mao’s cultural revolution and the rape of Nanjing? Let him move to China.

  7. Is there any “fact” mainstream journalists publish about the conflict that ISN’T supplied by Hamas?
