The editors of the Yale Daily News have retracted a series of editors notes and corrections that claimed that reports of Hamas raping women and beheading men were"unsubstantiated."
The student newspaper had been the subject of outrage after editors removed references to the Hamas terrorist organization beheading people and raping women in an op-ed by a student that questioned whether a pro-Palestinian group on campus was a hate group. The editors did not notify the author of the article that the edits were made.
"These corrections erroneously created the impression that, as of late October, there still was not enough publicly available evidence for those horrific acts," Seth said."The News therefore retracts those editor’s notes in their entirety and without qualification. The notes have been removed from the columns, and the original text has been restored."
The editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper said that the outlet had not intended to downplay what had taken place and apologized for"any unintended consequences" the editors' notes had caused. Seth also said that campus newspaper staff had been the subject of increased threats."It was never the News’ intention to minimize the brutality of Hamas’ attack against Israel," Seth wrote.
"The News remains committed to reporting the facts and to creating a forum for free, fair and honest campus and community dialogue," she added.
