More than 300 writers, scholars, and public figures, including nearly 150 past New York Times contributors, have pledged to boycott the paper’s Opinion section under the banner “Genocide Is Not a Matter of Opinion.”
They are demanding that the Times conduct an independent review of anti-Palestinian bias and publish new editorial standards, retract its discredited “Screams Without Words” article, and that its Editorial Board call for a U.S. arms embargo on Israel.
Signatories include Rashida Tlaib, Sally Rooney, Rupi Kaur, Gabor Maté, Mohammed El-Kurd, Greta Thunberg — and Drop Site’s Alex Colston and Sharif Abdel Kouddous — among others.
