Fake NY Times ‘Supplement’ Trashes Israel

No, Hillary Clinton has not quit her race for president to advocate for Palestinian rights. Sen. Chuck Schumer is not calling for the end of U.S. aid to Israel. And The New York Times is not searching for a new publisher to end its biased, pro-Israel reporting.

A sophisticated, fake four-page supplement to The New York Times featuring those “stories” and others promoting the Palestinian cause and denigrating Israel was distributed in Manhattan on Tuesday, and The New York Times is not laughing.

The supplement includes phony anti-Israel ads, made no mention of a sponsoring group. And while one of several young women distributing the propaganda near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Tuesday morning told this reporter, when asked, that “this is a supplement of The New York Times,” the paper of record had nothing to do with it.

Seems this group Jewish Voice for Peace is every bit as deceptive, scummy and slimy as Ted Cruz with their fake - made to look real - piece of repulsive propaganda.

deceptive practices - and the fact they're provoking a copyright infringement. That's disappointing, I thought better of you. But this will backfire - just as all scummy slimy deceptive practices do when it comes out so I'm happy to help that along.

glance. They use the NY Times logo, layout, print. Just as curz used what looked like an official form to fool some people. AND the slimy woman who was handing them out called them a supplement to the Times implying they had the Time's approval. That you approve of that says everything I actually already know about you. I hope the Times sues the crap out of them for infringement. One day you'll realize the Palestinians aren't going to get the support you think they deserve until they stop killing people and blowing crap up.

They showed what slimy characters they are all by themselves. What do I already know about you? That you will support or ignore any practices from people you agree with - and if that doesn't work, you'll deflect to something else - I've made this plain many times already. And yes, I think there are plenty of stupid people out there that could easily be fooled by a supplement that looks EXACTLY like the layout of the NY Times.

Maybe a few Jewish members but they encourage members from all that are anti Israel , no particular ethnicity .
They call themselves Jewish to give them cred.
