Democracy Now! speaks to award-winning writers Jazmine Hughes and Jamie Lauren Keiles in their first broadcast interview since being forced out of _The New York Times Magazine_ for signing an open letter condemning Israel’s siege on Gaza. The magazine’s editor Jake Silverstein said the letter violated the outlet’s policy on public protest, but Keiles says there are no clear guidelines, especially for contributing writers. He explains he signed on to the letter due to his disappointment in the journalistic standards missing from mainstream coverage of the war in Gaza, saying “this is an industrywide question.” Both writers say their former institution’s scrutiny of pro-Palestinian activism is a double standard that indicates tacit support for Israel.

Yet your people are facing genocide in Darfur
Those people are not right you are wrong , if you don’t get them out it will not stop,
Two brave and sincere journalists refusing to buckle under the Israelis propaganda machine
When you asked to lie about the facts this what happens American history and world history to different histories
Deep down inside every human is a conscious. that conscious is what guides us to the truth and ultimately connects us all as human and to stand up to injustice.
You are antisemitic
All planet Terra’s people are God’s people.
Damn, they just made the biggest mistakes of their lives… This war will be out of the media in a month or two and these two idiots will still be unemployed…
They got fired for singing a letter. Why report that they resigned? The newspaper said that Keiles' actions were a "violation of The Times’s policy on public protest"
Not all hero’s wear capes!
etanyahu figures he’s on his way out might as well get as many innocent civilians as possible. He’s no different than the worst of the nazi guards when the Allie’s landed. His hatred has been exposed for the world to see and almost every statement or release by the IDF and Israeli govt is a lie. It’s unreal.
Zionist already conquered NY.
God is in control. And if you can't see what he is doing then you are lost and blind. God is breaking evil everywhere
Freedom of speech. What a joke
WE TIRED OF BEING LIED TO ABOUT EVERYTHING. NO ONE TELLS THE TRUTH. ABOUT ANYTHING. SO GOD WILK SHOW YOU
It's only considered "public protests" when you are against small 🎩
Which do you think would have a greater life expectancy – a transgender religiously observant Jew in Gaza City, or a snowflake in Hell?
Fire the black woman, but keep the Jewish person who did the same thing. This is not a Jew problem, this is a racism problem. The problem with Israel and Gaza, is not a Jew problem it is a problem of racism. European Jews in Isreal, colonizing and trying to take land from defenseless people. It's the same old white European violent expansionism. I wish the would stop calling it Isreal or Palestine and call it what it is INDIGENOUS ERASURE BY EUROPEAN COLONIZERS. There is nothing religious about this you have brown people that have something white people want and the white people are using violence to just take it, they way they have done ALL OVER THE WORLD to other non white peoples.
Echoes of what Chris Hedges did when he resigned from his position of being the head of the NY Times Middle East Bureau because he didn't support our invasion of Iraq.
Boycott the times !!!
Lol Jazmine Hughes won 3 awards which she basically admits were given to her based on her 'identity'. This is what happens when we throw away meritocracy.
We are all sure they will not be missed.
One of them sounds lost and the other one looks like he is just there to simp on the lost one. So this is what the Grey Lady hires nowadays? No need to wonder any longer.
Thank you for also speaking to “The labor conditions of the industry at large “ also, as this is how all “glamorous” industries are run- as gigs with no job security or rights or protections. Very low investment in the talent it runs on.
I applaud their bravery but this was a relatively weak discussion of a Massively Important subject.
There won't be a place on this earth where a western journalist will be able to go. They have literally given up any and all journalistic professionalism in aiding and assisting genocide and siding with such oppression of a people…
Little anorexic white grinning girl with the camara man over your shoulder. You're going to be beheaded in a foreign land…this is by far no threat. This is a warning. I'm just saying what I witnessed in the 80's & 90's but at a much smaller scale than what is coming…you guys threw everything away for ISRAEL THE BLOODTHIRSTY MONSTERS WHO STOLE LAND…
NYT is the propaganda wing of the MIC.
I just had some banana bread for a snack
The NY Times and Washington Post seem to be shills for Israel.
I really hope the Palestinians get their 2nd independent state, after the 1st Palestinian state that is east of the River. That one was created in 1921. Why not have a state on both sides?
I hope the Palestinians agree to establish such a peaceful prosperous state, with their own borders. That would be lovely.
