"With rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear program fanning Iranian fury toward Israel..." Fanning Iranian fury toward Israel? I mean, I know that Kershner is a devoted Zionist propagandist but this is too much even by her biased standards. Who is threatening whom? Even today's editorial in the Times admits thus: "and the current saber-rattling from Israel should make everyone nervous." Is not Israel openly discussing various plans to attack Iran? By what logic can the New York Times--perhaps to preemptively justify war or military action by the Israeli usurping entity--make Israel as the victim here? Or does the New York Times go to default mode and reproduce the Zionist propaganda on the eve of the 1967 war? I sometimes wonder how decent people like Anthony Shadid work at such a lousy propaganda outlet.
