Nicholas Kristof, one of my favorite reporters, is wrong. A historical review of Zionist occupation of Palestine reveals decades of brutal actions by militia and state forces, resulting in the expulsion of thousands of Palestinians since 1947, starting with the Nakba. Massive shipments of arms from Britain, the U.S., France, Germany, and Italy fueled these conflicts.
Since then, Palestinians have endured relentless home demolitions, military occupation, and the world’s largest open-air prison in Gaza, alongside brutal control in the West Bank, making everyday life a struggle for survival. Yet Kristof frames the situation as “right vs. right,” seemingly justifying mass starvation, indiscriminate bombing, and the use of EU- and U.S.-supplied weapons.The silencing and career destruction of those accused of anti-Semitism for criticizing these actions further illustrate the moral imbalance. This is not a debate of competing rights; it is a clash of right against wrong, of justice against oppression.
Shamefully, Kristof seems to have lost his moral compass. Palestinians deserve truth, accountability, and an honest reckoning with history.
