<\/a><\/p>\nThe New York Times is running defense for the Black Israelites, the anti-Semitic hate group that abused the Covington High School students.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In an article entitled Hebrew Israelites See Divine Intervention in Lincoln Memorial Confrontation<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span>, the paper completely ignores the fact that the group called the Covington kids \u201cwhite crackers,\u201d \u201cfaggots,\u201d incest kids\u201d while also labeling them future school shooters and telling an African-American student that they would harvest his organs.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead, the piece, written by John Eligon, presents a sympathetic picture of the group, allowing one of its members to characterize what they do as \u201ctough love\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n In reality, in addition to the racist and homophobic slurs the group was caught on camera hurling at children, members are known to hold overtly disgusting views.<\/span><\/p>\n Even the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center lists the organization as a hate group, warning that members \u201cbelieve that Jews are devilish impostors and \u2026 openly condemn whites as evil personified, deserving only death or slavery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the odious nature of the group, the NY Times piece gives them a cultural cache by noting that they were \u201cname-checked by Kendrick Lamar in a rap called \u201cYah\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n The article also serves as a platform for the group to justify their actions, with several members quoted at length without being challenged.<\/span><\/p>\n One wonders whether a white supremacist group would have been treated with such kid gloves.<\/span><\/p>\n National Journal editor Josh Kraushaar denounced the article in a series of tweets, arguing that \u201cthe Black Israelites get a more sympathetic hearing than the Covington High students.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n when the Black Israelites get a more sympathetic hearing than the Covington High students…<\/p>\n — Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) January 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
