New York Times prints extensive correction to glowing story about Palestinian professor
Fox News
The New York Times printed a significant correction to a story Monday about a Palestinian professor in Gaza, saying it didn't do extensive-enough reporting on his true views against Israel.
"In the class witnessed by a Times reporter, Mr. Alareer taught a poem by the Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai, which he called ‘beautiful,’ saying it underscored the ‘shared humanity’ of Israelis and Palestinians," the correction reads. "He said he admired how it showed that Jerusalem is a place ‘where we all come together, regardless of religion and faith.’
"However, in a video of a class from 2019, he called the same poem 'horrible' and 'dangerous,' saying that although it was aesthetically beautiful, it 'brainwashes' readers by presenting the Israelis ‘as innocent.’ He also discussed a second Israeli poem, by Tuvya Ruebner, which he called 'dangerous,' adding ‘this kind of poetry is in part to blame for the ethnic cleansing and destruction of Palestine.’"
