Jewish leaders calling for a boycott of The New York Times: Three prominent Jewish leaders are calling for a boycott of the New York Times over what they feel is biased coverage against Israel in the current Middle East crisis. Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, of Kehilaph Jeshurun; Rabbi Avi Weiss at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale in the Bronx and the head of the Coalition for Jewish Concerns; and Rabbi Shmeuel Goldin of Congregation Ahavath Torah in New Jersey. The NY Post (getting in some needling) has the story.

While the suggestion in LA to boycott the LA Times for the same reason did not seem to go anywhere, this sounds like it could have legs. Stay tuned!
