Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times columnist who has accused Israel of training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners — a charge he has never retracted, nor ever provided evidence for — came to Harvard’s Kennedy School for an hour on September 18 for what was billed as a lecture, but instead turned out to be a meandering q-and-a. He was paid a large sum, likely a cool $35,000, for this dismal performance. More on his appearance can be found here: “Kristof Humiliates Himself and Harvard With Israel Dog-Rape Libel,” by Ira Stoll, Washington Free Beacon, September 24, 2026:
A columnist for the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof, who is married to the vice chair of Harvard Board of Overseers, Sheryl WuDunn, publicly humiliated himself Friday afternoon on a Harvard Kennedy School stage for what was billed as the Malcolm H. Wiener Lecture in International Political Economy. It turned out to be not a lecture but a pathetic, apparently unprepared question-and-answer style performance by Kristof, who doubled down on his unverified fantasy that Israel is using a trained dog to rape Palestinian prisoners. Kristof said this had happened to “numerous” prisoners, though he also said he couldn’t say how many. He claimed he knew this based on reports from human rights groups that he said didn’t talk to each other but that he then conceded under questioning did talk to each other….
I can’t quite do justice in text to the performance, characterized as it was by Kristof’s self-contradictions, mispronunciations, nervous laughter, and likening of Israel to the Nazis, an instance of Holocaust inversion that violates the definition of antisemitism that Harvard adopted as part of its settlement with Jewish students that a federal court said Harvard had failed. I encourage you to watch the brief video highlights embedded here….
The Kristof dog-rape allegation figures prominently in a shareholder lawsuit filed this week against the New York Times Company by lawyers including the attorney general of Florida and the National Jewish Advocacy Center….
Now his story has become an example of the New York Times’ extraordinary anti-Israel bias, in a lawsuit just filed against the paper by some of its shareholders. We can all look forward to Nicholas Kristof being examined in court, as he is asked to present his evidence for that dog-rapist charge, and comes up, just like the contents of his head, empty.

$35K? I would’ve done it for $15K, and turned the trip into a visit to Beantown for a week. I also would’ve given a decent lecture on International Political Economy, and not a diatribe against Israel with “facts” that he pulled out of his a$$,

That’s why I never go to Harvard to get my required medical CMEs.
A lot of woke garbage.

Instructive how so little has changed since the early 20th century when the Nazis in Germany were spewing absolute garbage like this about Jews (e.g., having the blood of Christian children baked into Jewish bread).
Man never learns. Some individuals do but man as a whole repeats the same stupidities and lies generation in and generation out. Like Nicholas Kristof.
But what a fine representative he is of the abysmal, mendacious, sloppy and forever irresponsible New York Times—and of Harvard too, which by now one knows or should know has become a joke of a university.
Taffy says
The NYT is not doing well financially. On the other hand, Harvard’s endowment is now about $57 billion. That means that they can do whatever they want without regard to federal grants and other income sources.

I’d say slather him with bacon grease and put him in an enclosure with hungry dogs, but that would be cruel to the dogs.

If somebody says that there are muslims who rape dogs. I will believe it
Muslims may consider dogs as najis (dirty), but after raping and washing their tools, the muslims will be clean again. Afterall, non muslims are dirty too just like dogs, but muslims love raping non muslims (women, men, young girls and young boys).

Abu, do not forget the Sheep & Goats.
Billy Corr says
Bestiality discussion sites are full of contributors’ very knowledgeable opinions about which breeds of dogs are best for hanky-panky of this kind.
The concensus seems to be that Labradors are the best all-rounders, rottweilers and great Danes for size and stamina.
Is lubrication needed? If so, K-Y Jelly or what?
It is a pity that this charlatan did not go into more detail about this aspect of his allegations.
Gerard says
Was that really necessary?? Disgusting on so many levels.
Good Lord.

As I have often said here, accusing the Israelis of being Nazis is so ignorant of what they actually do, which is save lives of ‘palestinians’ in their hospitals and prior to Oct 7 allow them to work in Israel (a disastrous error as it turned out) There would be no palestinians if Israelis were like the Nazis, as they would would exterminated them long ago. Yet the population has actually increased three fold! Not a single ‘palestinian’ has been transported to a camp and gassed or worked to death.
Taffy says
Anyone who equates today’s wars and civil policies with The Holocaust or calls today’s wars a genocide, has no concept of orders of magnitude or the definition of genocide. Or they tweak the definition of genocide (just as the gubbmint tweaked the definition of “vaccine,” twice, so as to call the Covid shot a vaccine) so that every modern conflict then meets their new genocide definition,
Similarly, anyone who calls anyone alive today “Hitler,” has no concept of the enormity of the evil of Nazi Germany. The Cambodian Genocide, perpetrated by Pot Pol was the last genocide of the same order of magnitude as the Holocaust, and Pol Pot was just as evil as Hitler. The Hutu v. Tutsi genocide killed about 500K-600K Tutsis and was the last true genocide, The Hutu leader, Théoneste Bagosora, was the last “Hitler.”
So, everyone else I don’t like is NOT literally Hitler!

In contrast, Israel, under Netanyahu’s leadership, has fought an ethical war. I analogize Israel’s response to October 7th, to The US’s response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Both were based on religious convictions. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was the only one to think that was not a good idea to start up with the United States, and he predicted the eventual destruction of Japan,. Yahya Sinwar had to have known that Israel would take him out and level most of Gaza in response to October 7th. But he believed that Allah would protect his jihadists and they “kill and be killed” to cut the line for entry into paradise.

The NY Slimes has sided on the wrong side of history many times .In the 1920s-to 1940s they said Stalin was not a bad guy as he kill millions of his own people in camps of the frozen wildness .They sided with Castro in the 1950s Cuba .they said the one child policy of China in the 1980s-to 1990s was not so bad as millions of forced abortions where performed in China with forced sterilizations of millions of Chinese .Even in the early 1930s they said Hitler was not a bad guy he did not mean what he was saying .Now they go to some Islamic fairy tale of dogs trained (by Jews of course) to rape Moslem prision of war ??Why is the NYT running with some medieval style blood libel tale against a country that is only trying to defend itself ?Israel is the canary in the coalmine the left hates all western civilization Israel is the only country in the Middle East that is a model for western civilization in that area .

What a tool. It doesn’t sound as though he is trying very hard–but then, all he has are bogus accusations.
