In passing, the New York Times report the burning of mosques by Jewish settlers

This is now a pattern: Jewish settlers are burning mosques.  Can you imagine how big the story is if Muslims are regularly burning synagogues?  I can imagine the cries of Kristallnacht in that case. Yet, this is not a story.  The New York Times report this in passing: the headline is about something else:  "Earlier in the day, a disused Jerusalem mosque was defaced and set afire. The words “price tag” were spray-painted on the mosque."
