The New York Times this week edited a November glow-up of Palestinian literature professor Refaat Alareer, adding a more than 250-word editor’s note conceding that the original version of the article failed to note that his teaching of Israeli literature includes an awful lot of, uh, antisemitism.

And by “antisemitism,” I mean he tells his students Israeli literature is “a tool of colonialism and oppression.” He also tells them it’s “in part to blame for the ethnic cleansing and destruction of Palestine.”
