Ethan Bronner: the Servitor of Israeli propaganda

"Because Hamas booby-traps schools, apartment buildings and the zoo, and its fighters hide among civilians, it is Hamas that is viewed here as responsible for the civilian toll." Look at that sentence. He continues to justify Israeli killing of civilians. Notice that he did not even say who told him that Hamas was doing that. It becomes a fact. Imagine if a New York Times reporter were to state without sources that Israel targets civlians. If his sources are the Israeli military--which it is--he needs to state that. If a Palestinian group were to attack a civilian Israeli target in the futre, would Bronner state: ...and Israeli soliders mingle among citivilans in Israel?
