Subject: The New York Times is hiding weapons shipments to Israel
Reply-To: info@PROTECTED
It's been since March 29 that the New York Times has failed to so much as mention the latest huge transfer of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, 1,800 of them, each of them capable of taking out a city block and leaving a 40-foot crater.
When the New York Times does bother to mention U.S. weapons shipments to Israel, it does not include a relevant piece of information, namely their apparent illegality. On one occasion the Times reported on a letter from U.S. senators to President Joe Biden making this point, but it should be noted in combination with every report on arms shipments.
We are sending the following petition to New York Times Executive Editor Joseph Kahn and Managing Editors Carolyn Ryan and Marc Lacey:
I urge you to report on every U.S. weapons shipment to Israel, and in every such report to include mention of these shipments' apparent violation of the Conventional Arms Transfer Policy, the Foreign Assistance Act, the Arms Export Control Act, the U.S. War Crimes Act, the Leahy Law, and the Genocide Convention Implementation Act.

You’re invited to a live zoom salon this Thursday, April 11, when RootsAction national director Norman Solomon will speak on “Media and the Warfare State.” Hosted by the Committee for the Republic, the free event will focus on how patterns described in Norman’s recent book War Made Invisible apply to the ongoing mass murder in Gaza.
