New York Times and the Egyptian protesters: they got the Israeli marching orders

"A demonstration that brought tens of thousands to this city’s central Tahrir Square turned violent on Friday, when thousands of people — led by a heavy contingent of soccer fans — tore down a protective wall around the Israeli Embassy, while others defaced the headquarters of the Egyptian Interior Ministry."  First, the paper copy of the times in my hand included this sentence but WITHOUT the sentence "led by a heavy contingent of soccer fans".  Clearly, the Israeli propaganda marching orders is to render the protesters "soccer hooligans".  And notice that they are described as "violent" when they merely attacked a...wall.  Is violence against walls really violence?  And when 3 protesters were killed and 1000 were injured--according to Aljazeera--who is violent? The regime or the protesters?  And if the protesters had stormed the Iranian embassy, would the New York Times and other Zionist media not treated them as heroes to be glorified?
