Backlash over NY Magazine's Habibi City cover accused of antisemitic erasure
New York Magazine is facing sharp backlash for its Habibi City cover, accused of erasing Jewish identity while praising SWANA Arab culture and framing Israel/Palestine politics in a way critics say minimizes the Oct. 7 attacks; Jewish groups and pro-Israel advocates condemn the piece as antisemitic and erasing Jewish history, prompting reader cancellations and strong public rebuke as the debate over representation in media intensifies.
