New York Times removed reminder of senators Jewish roots

Newspaper The New York Times edited materialdedicated to voting in the Senate on Iran’s nuclear program. The original version of the article contained tables with information about Democratic Congressmen opposing the agreement, and a separate column said whether they were Jews.

Subsequently, without any explanation in the material, the tables were edited, and the column on the Jewish origin of each of the congressmen who opposed the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program was removed. Also, the tables provided information on what region congressmen represent and what percentage of Jews in this region are among the population. This column in the edited article remained.
