LEAKED New York Times Gaza Memo Tells Journalists to Avoid Certain Words 🚨

The Intercept |

• The New York Times issued internal guidance to journalists, instructing them not to use terms like "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and "occupied territory" in their reporting on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

• Reporters are also discouraged from using the term "Palestine" and describing Gaza’s densely populated areas as "refugee camps," despite these being recognized by the United Nations.

• This language policy reflects a bias, favoring Israeli perspectives and diluting the severity of the Palestinian situation.

• "It’s the kind of thing that looks professional and logical if you have no knowledge of the historical context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict...But if you do know, it will be clear how apologetic it is to Israel." - Anonymous Times Newsroom Source

• "It’s like, ‘Oh let’s not say occupation because it might make it look like we’re justifying a terrorist attack.’" - Times Staffer
