The New York Times Covers (up) Israeli crimes. As Israel increases its killing in Gaza, the New York Times has this headline: "Violence Dips." And to justify the statement of an Israeli official who threatened Palestinians with a holocaust, the New York Times says this: "Israel and Hamas Sharpen Words." And then the New York Times reports that there was: "considerably less violence and death than over the previous two days, when more than 30 Palestinians died, five of them children, and one Israeli died in the border town of Sderot." But the New York Times terms the Israeli killing rampage: "An Israeli military operation aimed at rocket-launching squads."
