NY Times editor who ran Tom Cotton op-ed is anti-Palestinian activist

Adam Rubenstein, the New York Times editor who signed off on Senator Tom Cotton's fascistic op-ed calling for US military troops to be deployed against protesters in American streets, is an anti-Palestinian activist.

And, if necessary, the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry-whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters. https://t.co/OnNJmnDrYM

Four years ago as a student at Kenyon College in Ohio, Rubenstein attacked Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and guest speaker Remi Kanazi.

He claimed that the presence of Kanazi, a published poet and a popular campus performer, "is part of a focus-grouped and incubated hatred, which is intellectualized, digitized and repeated ad nauseum. SJP targets you as the consumer for that hatred."

Railing against the call for Palestinian rights as an anti-Semitic plot, Rubenstein asserted that the organizers who brought Kanazi to campus were engaged in a "twisted game of delegitimizing and demonizing Israel."
