There’s a bit of a dustup over at the Times of Israel - someone wrote - and the Times inexplicably published - an op-ed article using the name of a fairly well-known attorney and writer that openly advocated the genocide of Palestinians. Needless to say, he is none too happy about this.

Attorney Responds To Times Of Israel Genocide Post: ‘I Didn’t Write That S**t’

Lawyer and writer Josh Bornstein demanded an explanation from The Times of Israel on Thursday after the site published an op-ed under his name that advocated genocide of Palestinians.

The post, which sparked outrage across social media and was quickly taken down by the site, called Palestinians “cockroaches” and said that Israel should “exterminate them.”

The Times of Israel tweeted that it was “looking into” the post and noted that it did not endorse its content. The article ran under the byline of Bornstein, though several people noted that it looked nothing like anything else he had ever published.

At about 6 p.m.. EDT, Bornstein took to Twitter from his home of Australia to clarify that not only had he not written the “racist” pro-genocide post, but that he had never started an account at the Times in the first place.

“I didn’t write that shit,” he said. He noted he was a “secular atheist,” contrary to the religious tone of the piece. He later added that he suspected the site was hacked.

Bornstein said he wanted an explanation from the Times of Israel.

If you have the stomach, the archive of the piece can be found here, as the original article has been pulled from the Times’ website:

I will warn you, again - it is an extremely vile piece - I have seen the contents before quoted verbatim in anti-Semitic and white nationalist literature.
