Bigotry: Washington Post, on Muslims’ anti-vax, choose pic of Jews

It was absolute stupidity and the photos were taken down from the website within hours and never appeared in the print addition the next morning. That doesn’t excuse the episode and WAPOS’s frequent use of stock photos of Jewish scenes with stereotype tropes to illustrate articles having little to do with Jews.

Not to defend, but to explain:

Famous “man bites dog” bias? Who would be surprised that some uneducated refugees from Africa are afraid of needles? Nobody in DC is going to take their clue from these poor souls. It may be worth mentioning as this could cause an outbreak, but not deserving a picture.

Same behavior from members of “am chacham venavon” who spend their lives learning intricate machlokes of Abaye ve Rava surely deserves attention and an interest in understanding their position. And a picture for those who would not believe this unless they saw it.

What is notable here is the persistence of Jewish anti-vaccinism.

Chugi: As others have noted, your repetitive childish playground name-calling is more appropriate for a kindergarten blog.

Separately, WAPO under Bezos is slightly better than under the Grahams but still takes consistently “progressive” anti-Israeli positions on legitimate security responses by EY to terrorist attacks, dangerous and naive compromises on Iran Agreement and “two-state solution” etc. They are actually supportive of Yidden on issues related to domestic security for Jewish mosdos, dangers of right wing flirtations with white power/Nazi oriented racist groups etc.
