It’s true the Times has in the last year published columns by Israel’s defenders and former officials, such as Benjamin Netanyahu. But none of these were venomous and fallacious. There can be no claim that accurate commentary in defense of Israel “balances” propagandistic and false commentary assailing that nation.
The pattern is obvious; the Times has chosen to suspend the norms of fact-checking in op-eds attacking Israel, and in doing so has all too often allowed its editorial pages to be used as a crude anti-Israel propaganda sheet.
