The Issue: New York magazine’s problem that included a declare of “Israeli genocide.”
New York magazine’s cowl calling New York “Habibi City” is one other highly effective instance of the rampant unfold of anti-Jewish vitriol ensuing within the terrifying rise of antisemitic hate crimes beneath Mayor Mamdani (“ ‘Jew hating’ NY magazine,” Aug. 13).
How a lot money did the magazine get to sell its soul and run this hateful article about Jews and Israel?

New York magazine was once a great magazine: attention-grabbing articles, great visuals and enjoyable puzzles. Over the years it’s turn out to be just like the New York Times — unreadable and crammed with hate in opposition to Jews and Israel.
It’s arduous to think about any first rate and fair-minded individual choosing up that rag.

After that “hit piece” on Israel and Jews beneath the guise of celebrating Arab and Muslim tradition in New York City, I’d not maintain my breath for New York magazine to actually cowl the plight of the estimated 850,000 Jews who had been pressured to flee Arab and Muslim international locations after 1948.
While most of these Jews fled to Israel, some of their descendants characterize half of the multicultural tapestry of the Big Apple. I suppose it doesn’t match the biased magazine’s narrative.
