“A thought experiment: would anyone who referred to the killing of 50 Jewish people, many of them ‘entirely innocent non-combatants, including children,’ as ‘one of the unavoidable burdens of political power, of Palestinian liberation’s dream turned into the reality of self-determination,’ ever be hired by a major television news network? Would their news outlet ever be potentially offered more than $200 million to merge with that major news network? Of course not, and for good reason. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening, only with one small but major difference: the writer and her news outlet responsible for this statement, Bari Weiss and The Free Press, were not talking about Hamas’[s] murder of Israelis, but rather about Israel’s killing of 50 Palestinians — ‘Zionism’s dream turned into the reality of self-determination,’ as Weiss described it in 2021.” (07/29/25)
