Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, has strongly criticized The New York Times, accusing its editors of paving the way for future genocides against Jews. Speaking at a convention of Chabad emissaries in New Jersey, Leiter recounted a meeting with 21 of the newspaper's editors. He stated that during this meeting, they accused Israel of genocide and starving the residents of Gaza. Leiter felt that the editors were acting as "the judge, the jury, and the firing squad." He drew a parallel between their conduct and the antisemitic incitement that preceded the Holocaust, asserting, "The reason they accuse us of genocide is to prepare the next genocide against us. Hitler did not grow in a vacuum. He was preceded by decades of demonization and delegitimization of Jews."
