The New York Times admits in a belated footnote no one will read that it misled readers into thinking a video showed an antisemitic attack on Israeli football fans rather than the truth: it showed Israeli hooligans beating up Dutch locals. Once again, the NYT – like the rest of the establishment media – has peddled disinformation. Once again, it is the fake news narrative that will stick in readers' minds, not the correction. Once again, official disinformation has achieved its goal: of creating a climate in which any opposition to Israel is stigmatised as antisemitism, and in which those committing genocide can claim victimhood.
