Among the several photos in the article, only one is accompanied by a caption giving the name of the person in the picture:
“Grant Miner, a Jewish graduate student at Columbia University, says he doesn’t feel unsafe on campus.”
Guess why not? Because he is “part of a student coalition calling on Columbia to divest from companies connected to Israel."
There is no reason for an anti-Israel Jew to feel endangered on the Columbia campus. Nor is he wearing a kippah or otherwise showing indicia of being a Jew.
One other noticeable point about this story:
None of its three authors appears to be an Arab or a Jew.
So who did the Times select to cover this story?
Luis Ferré-Sadurní, from Puerto Rico;
Colbi Edmonds, an African-American; and
Liset Cruz, “a bilingual Mexican-American journalist.”
Of course, a newspaper decides which of its journalists to assign to write a particular story.
But I do wonder why these three were selected.
