Julius Sebastian Streicher was the first member of the Nazi regime to be convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946. His crime? Founding the newspaper Der Stürmer and publishing vitriolic, racist propaganda that helped incite a genocide. For this, he was executed by hanging.
Joe Kahn, the executive editor of The New York Times, is responsible for publishing the single most damaging piece of atrocity propaganda since October 7, 2023: “Screams Without Words,” a famously debunked article that relies on racist tropes and zionist hasbara to smear Palestinian resistance fighters as rapists. Hailed by Kahn as a “signature piece” and entered into multiple journalism competitions, this falsified investigation has been cited by U.S. lawmakers to justify U.S. support for the ongoing genocide. This is the legacy of Joe Kahn: publishing lies that are parroted by imperial puppets in corrupt governments the world over and touted as fact, enabling mass weapons shipments and reinforcing anti-Palestinian sentiment that propels the genocide and mass starvation of Gaza. After the claims of the piece were exposed as false, Kahn directed what the president of the NewsGuild of New York described as a “racially targeted witch hunt,” harassing and intimidating Arab and Middle Eastern employees in an attempt to identify the whistleblowers who revealed their lies.
The pages of the New York Times drip with the rhetoric of genocide accomplices and apologists. Times editors, executives, and journalists have proven themselves to be the bedfellows of the Zionist regime, benefiting from and profiting off of the atrocities their lies enable. To run media cover for U.S. imperial interests is to support and legitimize genocide, and to serve as a cog in the well-oiled war machine. To publish known lies is to abet the laundry list of Zionist war crimes. Those who commit such malpractice are not journalists; they are genocide propagandists, and their hands are stained red by the crimes that they incite, defend, and obscure. Words have power, and we will hold the genocidaires of the so-called “free press” accountable.
