Actor Michael Rapaport criticized The New York Times, questioning the newspaper’s reliability following claims of biased reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Rapaport expressed his disdain for the publication, stating that it lacks credibility and should cease its operations.

A study conducted by Yale professor Edieal Pinker, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, revealed that the Times’ coverage of the war tended to generate empathy towards the Palestinian population.

A New York Times spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement, “This latest report joins a long list of studies from across the spectrum of ideological positions on the war in the Middle East. Our coverage is a vast, empathetic, and independent body of work, researched and written by world-class journalists and edited to our exacting editorial standards.”

Rapaport has been outspoken about his pro-Israel stance since the Oct. 7 attacks.

Despite being a notable Trump critic, he has also said he was open to the president’s plans for Gaza.

Rapaport slammed attempts to broker peace between Israel and the people of Gaza in the modern era, saying “nothing’s worked,” in a video posted to X. He added that people should be open to Trump’s plan because it’s at least something different.

“We’ve tried with the peace accords, the normalizations, the two-state solutions, the this, that, and the third. Every f—ing idea has been tried, discussed,” he said.

“If you’re more offended by the idea of the United States taking over Gaza than what you have seen with your own eyes, for decade after decade, from October 7, even now — sometimes you have to learn the f—ing hard way,” the comedian said, concluding his clip.

The actor denounced Democrats comparing Trump to Hitler ahead of the election in a post on social media, “[K]eep HITLER’S name out of your mouth unless you’re referring to HITLER!!! It’s insulting.”

“S— stain Donald Trump, pig d— Donald Trump, call him whatever you want, I’ve given you gem after gem for years, but stop with the Hitler s—. Stop with the Hitler s—. Do not refer to Hitler and the Holocaust – the actual greatest slaughter and actual genocide of the Jewish people – for attention and political gain,” he said.
