File a complaint

This article can be challenged with Haaretz (English)'s editorial-standards team.

  • Amend the headline so that the alleged harm is not relegated to a subordinate clause. A faithful alternative might read: "Israel launches defamation suit against NYT after column reports widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians by guards, soldiers and settlers."
  • Add a verification caveat in the article body making clear whether Haaretz independently assessed the substance of the allegations described as "the widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli prison guards, soldiers and settlers," or, if it did not, stating that explicitly for readers.
