NYT Justifying the Killing of Palestinians
"But in some ways the elections have made it impossible for officials like Mr. Barak not to react, because the public has grown anxious and angry over the rocket fire, which while causing no recent deaths and few injuries is deeply disturbing for those living near Gaza." Look at that language? "Made it impossible...not to react"? Can you not say the same about the Palestinians in Gaza? That the siege and starvation made it impossible for them not to react and that the people have been angry over the killings and hunger? The New York Times operate according to standards that refuse to see the Palestinians as equal to Israelis. The New York Times vomits insults against the Palestinians on regular bases.
