My Second Ode to the New York Times
(My second apology to John Keats)
The NYTimes
Is in a tizzy,
Over a fashion queen
Named Hoda Katebi.
She loves to hate
The Jewish State
Using BDS
To annihilate.
Ms. Katebi promotes
Iranian fashion
The Ayatollah’s laws
Have her positive reaction.
Terrorist theocracy
Is a big win
But democratic Israel
A terrible sin.
No questions, no follow ups
To the law student’s views,
Her pro BDS stance
Is a plus for the paper’s news.
Yet the Times does shows fairness
In its Israel reports
Because the bias is shared
Among all the cohorts.
From food, to movies
Business and fashion
The pieces have a common
Hate Israel passion.
Consistency is there
For all to see
Israel is covered
Without accuracy.
So Hoda Katebi,
Writer and speaker
A future lawyer
Whose goal
Is to make Israel weaker.
Is the kind of person
The paper admires
That its journalists promotes
That its editors aspires.
