The executive director of StopAntisemitism has claimed that a Washington Post 'smear' piece against her group shows the outlet has anti-Israel sympathies.
A nonprofit dedicated to combating antisemitism on Wednesday rebuked a Washington Post story that claimed the group had 'upended' the lives of anti-Israel figures. Calling the story both 'disturbing and ironic,' StopAntisemitism executive director Liora Rez suggested that The Washington Post often voices support for those who expose rhetoric critical of marginalized groups but has now become sympathetic to Hamas apologists and those who push Jewish conspiracy theories.
Celine Khalife, a 25-year-old Palestinian-American, was similarly fired from her job as a therapist after StopAntisemitism posted a video of her tearing down a poster of Israeli hostages. She also pushed a conspiracy theory that Israel had kidnapped its own civilians in an effort to blame Hamas. Khalife told The Washington Post she misspoke in the video and tore down the poster because it contained the words 'Hamas terrorism.
The Washington Post piece quoted an expert who suggested the work of StopAntisemitism could be considered a form of doxxing. Rez noted that Verma, the Washington Post reporter who wrote the story, had previously claimed that tracking planes of high-profile figures like Elon Musk, wasn't doxxing because it relied on public data. 'StopAntisemitism never publishes anybody's personal address, personal phone numbers, date of birth, so on and so forth.
She also suggested that The Washington Post reporter and his editors' decision to focus on money led them wittingly or unwittingly to push Jewish stereotypes. 'Jews today refuse to be intimidated by hatred. We have the right to defend ourselves like every other marginalized group, and we will not allow this particular reporter and his editors in The Washington Post to ever attempt to intimidate us,' Rez said.
