The New York Times is facing backlash after publishing an op-ed written by the Hamas-backed mayor of Gaza City describing the state of the Gaza Strip amid the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group that broke out in early October.
The news outlet published the op-ed on Sunday, written by Yahya Sarraj, mayor of Gaza, of which Hamas has been the de facto governing body for more than a decade. The essay laments the actions of the Israeli military, particularly after its invasion of the Gaza Strip on Oct. 27 in retaliation to the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel on Oct. 7.
More than 20,000 people have died in Gaza since Israel began its counterattack, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, and troops have destroyed roughly half of the buildings in the area. But Sarraj faulted the Israeli military for something greater: the loss of the Gazan culture.
âThe Israelis have also pulverized something else: Gaza Cityâs cultural riches and municipal institutions,â Sarraj said. âThe unrelenting destruction of Gaza â its iconic symbols, its beautiful seafront, its libraries and archives and whatever economic prosperity it had â has broken my heart.â
The op-ed criticized Israel for the destruction of many of the cityâs features, including its zoo, the main public library, the Childrenâs Happiness Center, and more. Sarraj accused the Israeli military of âdestroying lifeâ in Gaza, lamenting the countryâs âblockade of Gazaâ that he says unfairly affects the Palestinian population.
Remember when the @nytimes journalists lost their minds and a chief editor had to resign because they ran an op-ed by a sitting US Senator?
Well now the New York Times is running opinion pieces written by Hamas.
Are their journalists outraged? đ€

The New York Times ran an op-ed Sunday by Hamasâ handpicked Gaza City mayor â prompting outrage on social media from Israel supporters who slammed the Gray Lady for amplifying âJew hate.â
The essay by Yahya R. Sarraj published on Christmas Eve comes amid fury over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezâs social media post that denounced Israel as a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to Palestinians…
