Roger Cohen knows pornography much better than he knows international law

From Roger Cohen in the New York Times, referring to the weekly Gaza riots: You know pornography when you see it. You know a disproportionate military response when you see it. It’s stomach turning. Would Roger Cohen consider the killing of 16 civilians in order to silence an enemy TV station for a short time period to be "disproportionate?" Because NATO doesn't. In...

Roger Cohen (@NYTimesCohen) again shows off his ignorance

Roger Cohen weighs in on this week's meeting between Netanyahu and Trump with his characteristic lack of knowing what he is talking about. Here's the one example that proves that one simply cannot trust a New York Times columnist to say anything remotely true: Netanyahu was explicit. He wants a Jewish state that retains “the overriding security control over the entire...

Please answer this question, Roger Cohen

Roger Cohen writes in the New York Times about how awful Israel is for its policy of "occupation": There is agreement on very little in the fractious Holy Land, but on one issue there is near unanimity these days: A two-state resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is more distant than ever, so unimaginable that it appears little more than an illusion sustained...

Roger Cohen sort of compliments me

After my latest takedown of the NYT's Roger Cohen was published on Algmeiner, he sent out two tweets. One linked to Mondoweiss attacking him from the crazy Left: One take: Roger Cohen (who doesn't live there) explains the need for 'my Jewish state' http://t.co/EHJbPS7Nou — Roger Cohen (@NYTimesCohen) January 3, 2014 And the next linked to mine: Another take (involving a huge amount of research on "Palestinian Arabs") http://t.co/GzGA6C1YUG —...

Roger Cohen shows his ignorance yet again

Once again, Roger Cohen blames Israel and Israel alone for his fearless prediction that current negotiations will fail: But I am going to make one prediction for 2014. It is that, for all John Kerry’s efforts, this will be another year in which peace is not reached in the Middle East. ... Plenty of bad things have happened between Israelis and Palestinians of late. There has been a steady uptick in violence. Israel’s freeing of 26 long-serving...

Roger Cohen's malice towards Israel continues

Predictably, Roger Cohen in the New York Times praises the Iran nuclear deal in glowing terms: Let us be clear. This is the best deal that could be had. Nothing, not even sustained Israeli bombardment, can reverse the nuclear know-how Iran possesses. The objective must be to ring-fence the acquired capability so its use can only be peaceful.Given that the UN and the US had previously insisted that Iran doesn't have the right to enrich uranium,...

The editorial malpractice of Roger Cohen

In what is perhaps his most remarkable feat, Roger Cohen's latest op-ed for the New York Times - where he critiques Binyamin Netanyahu's speech to the UN last week - gets everything wrong. Even more remarkably, his main arguments are refuted by the contents of the speech itself. Which means that either Cohen didn't listen to or read the speech itself, or he consciously chose to lie about it. Op-ed writers of course have more latitude than reporters...
