Washington Post ads:

· (An ad with the purpose to draw attention on systemic problems in  US security policies )

· The Supreme Law of the Land  vs. Federal judges txt,   (PDF)

 

NY Times :

 

· Mr. President will you honor the Supreme Law of the Land ? May 3rd, 2006  

               (a copy of this ad was sent to the UN ambassadors of all Security Council members)

 

· The Real Nuclear Threat  June 24, 05

The above were first proposed to the NY Times. It refused to print them.  Their  main excuse for not printing the first ad (which was not pro-Israel) was that, as a matter of policy, they did not accept “reward” ads. I asked a confirmation in writing, which it gave:

 

“ I can confirm that The Times does not run "Reward" type  headlines…”

S. Jesperson of the NYTimes

 

Yet, two months later (1/30/05), it published the adjacent

 pro-Israel full-page ad.

 

The NY Times, like any other business, may chose certain policies for conducting its business. But it cannot do it in a discriminating way. If a black man goes to a car-dealership and offers $50’000 in cash to buy a car, the seller may invoke a policy of not accepting dollar bills for such an amount. But if the next day he sells a car for $50’000 in cash to a white customer, he has then engaged in a discriminating policy. It is regrettable though that the premier newspaper of this country, exercises censorship, and discrimination, so blatantly.
