“Kristoff, Leave Us Alone” is an opinion piece by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof that has drawn criticism for its perceived condescension and misplaced focus. In it, Kristof urges activists and critics of U.S. foreign policy—especially those outspoken about Gaza—to “tone down” their rhetoric, suggesting that strong moral outrage is counterproductive. Many readers saw it as an attempt to silence dissent and shield U.S. and Israeli leaders from accountability. The backlash centers on Kristof’s dismissive tone toward those demanding justice and his failure to fully confront the scale of suffering in Gaza.
