The Twitchy post “Kristof screws the pooch” takes up the matter of Nicholas Kristof and the alleged Israeli rape dogs at the heart of Kristof’s long New York Times column. Kristof purported to report a scandal shaming Israeli authorities. The scandal appears to be of the backfiring kind. Twitchy’s justmindy compiles a few X posts that dispute Kristof’s support for the underlying thesis of the dog rape aspect of his colummn.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo takes a look at Kristof’s back pages in “‘It’s Hamas Propaganda’: New York Times Writer Nicholas Kristof’s ‘Sexual Violence’ Column Caps a Career of Corrections, Retractions and Apologies Going Back 25 Years.”
Coincidentally, Kristof’s column was published the day before the appearance of the report of Israel’s specially appointed Civil Commission on Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children. Silenced No More set forth the commission’s findings of Hamas’s systematic use of sexual violence, rape, and “kinocide” (systematic targeting and destruction of families) during and after 10/7 attack. Kredo’s story will assist those who seek to compare and contrast Kristof’s column with the report of Israel’s civil commission. One is not a hoax.
Well wouldn’t you know it, Nick Kristof and the NYT had to get out their horseshit, Der Stürmer-worthy op-ed just before Silenced No More was published. They were right to be nervous. This is a gruesome tidal wave of verified, ice-cold, damning evidence, which painstakingly… pic.twitter.com/lvZEf8PCVw

As one of Shakespeare’s characters puts it in The Tempest, when Shakespeare had condensed his poetry into its ultimate form, What’s past is prologue. Kredo concludes with this gem:
In 2001, Kristof penned a series of columns calling on federal prosecutors to pin an anthrax attack on a subject known as “Mr. Z,” who later turned out to be Steven Hatfill, a former Army scientist who spent years being persecuted by media accounts claiming he was the culprit. Federal investigators never charged Hatfill in the attack, and he was ultimately exonerated, settling a lawsuit with the government for almost $6 million. Hatfill sued the Times and Kristof for defamation. The case was dismissed after Hatfill failed to prove that Kristof acted with “malice,” but Kristof apologized to him in 2008.
Kristof has dug himself into a deep canine hole with his tale of Israeli rape dogs. No apology will be forthcoming. It is left for us to apply Dylan’s back pages to Kristof’s heated brow: “Crimson flames tied through my ears / Rollin’ high and mighty traps…”
