Protesters descended on the New York Times headquarters in Manhattan Thursday to make their feelings plain about the “Israeli dogs rape Arab prisoners” libel the paper of record published Sunday, alleging widespread and systemic sexual abuse of Arab detainees in Israeli prisons based on unverified testimony and unreliable sources.

Demonstrators held up signs that read “Der Stürmer,” a reference to the Nazi propaganda newspaper published by the notorious Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher, a comparison many Jewish advocates made in the wake of the article’s publication.

Other signs read “Antizionism gets Jews killed” and “J’accuse,” a reference to the famous French journalist Émile Zola’s eponymous 19th-century article blasting the French establishment for its imprisonment and exile of Alfred Dreyfus, a French army officer, over false allegations of treason that turned out to be motivated by Jew hatred. 

The crowd, representing such Jewish groups as Hineni and End Jew Hatred, chanted, “New York Times, shame on you,” “We will not be silent” and “Bankrupt the Times.” They accused The Times of blood libel and shouted “Fire Kristof,” the author of the piece.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause when Zachary Sage Fox, a famous actor and Zionist activist, arrived, carried on a protester’s shoulders.

“I am standing on the shoulders of my fellow Jews. That is a metaphor, and I’m also actually doing it,” he joked. Highlighting a consistent pattern on the part of The New York Times, he pointed to its World War II coverage, when it downplayed Hitler’s mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust.

The crowd also chanted, “Am Yisrael Chai.”
