The Times of Israel posted an article titled "When Genocide Is Permissible."

224. No it's not and this was a blog post

The policy stated applies to Times of Israel bloggers which anyone can become. You will note that the text makes reference both to comments (which can only be submitted via Facebook) and to blog posts (which is what this was).

I would also point out that The Times Of Israel has not "already apologised for allowing that article to slip past their editors."

Here is their statement about it:

The Times of Israel on Friday removed an unacceptable blog post, entitled “When genocide is permissible."

This blog post, which was described by our Ops & Blogs editor as both damnable and ignorant, blatantly breached The Times of Israel’s editorial guidelines.

We have discontinued the writer’s blog.

The Times of Israel maintains an open blog platform: Once we have accepted bloggers, we allow them to post their own items. This trust has rarely been abused. We are angry and appalled that it was in this case, and will take steps to prevent a recurrence.

We will not countenance blog posts that incite to violence or criminal acts.
