| 0:00.0 | This is Aiton Weinstein. |
| 0:01.7 | And I'm Na Or Meninger, and you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys. |
| 0:26.6 | The New York Times has never been a great friend of the Jewish people. 80 years ago, for example, during the Holocaust, what was arguably the most important American news outlet |
| 0:32.6 | didn't do much to expose its readers to the atrocities that led to the Holocaust, nor to the atrocity |
| 0:39.7 | of the Holocaust itself. What's even more amazing is that the publisher of the New York Times |
| 0:44.6 | during that period was a Jew, Arthur Hayes Salzberger. In modern times, it seems like the |
| 0:50.2 | Times constantly takes the pro-Palestinian angle, even when it means spreading actual fake |
| 0:56.1 | news. Only a year ago in a list of the child victims of the war in Gaza, the New York Times |
| 1:01.1 | included a photo of a kid who died seven years prior in Ramallah. That is why our guest today, |

| 1:33.2 | Thank you for inviting me. I'm glad to be here. |
| 1:35.9 | So how did it start this endeavor? |
| 1:37.9 | Well, the truth is it actually started about 20 years ago, maybe even 22. |
| 1:44.9 | During the second Intifada, I took some time off work then. |
| 1:49.1 | I had two little girls at home. |
| 1:51.6 | And I was on the internet a lot. |
| 1:55.1 | It was actually the beginning of internet, really, that we didn't really do that before. |
| 2:00.7 | And suddenly, you know, you could read the New York Times from Israel. |
