In the past three weeks, HonestReporting exposed three New York Times freelancers in the Gaza Strip who praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and celebrated deadly Palestinian terror attacks targeting Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Israel.

Fady Hanona, Soliman Hijjy, and Hosam Salem all reported on the Arab-Israeli conflict for The New York Times — they wrote articles, selected potential interview subjects, and worked on one-sided photo and video productions.

Needless to say, antisemitism and anti-Israel propaganda should have no place in what is supposed to be America’s newspaper of record.

We succeeded in getting The New York Times to stop working with Hanona, Hijjy, and Salem, directly impacting the media’s coverage of the Jewish state.

But our forensic work continues. When antisemitism seeps into the mainstream media, we will make sure people know.
