James sent me this: "Don't know if you've seen the reporting the NYT about the zionist
colonialists' attack on the Grand Mosque at Jabaa yet, but there's some real
(ugly) gems in the reporting (as usual for the NYT on Occupied
Palestine).
In particular is Netanyahu's reaction to the terrorist attack: "Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately condemned the attack as “the work of
intolerant, irresponsible lawbreakers,” adding, “We will act quickly in order to
bring them to justice.”" Hey, Bibi, aren't these the same
people who are in government with you?!
Also revealing about the NYT's bias in support of the illegal colonial
occupation is the characterization of attacks on Palestinians by Zionist
colonizer as "vandalism" and not terrorism, which is of course precisely what it
is:
"A West Bank mosque was burned and vandalized early on
Tuesday, with graffiti warning in Hebrew of a “war” over the impending
evacuation of the Jewish settlement of Ulpana.
Police officials said it was the fourth attack on a
mosque in the last 18 months and part of a recent uptick in so-called “price
tag” incidents by radical settlers." and that "Dan
Halutz, a former chief of staff of the Israeli Army, said that the authorities
did not do enough to crack down on “price tag” vandalism, which he called
“counterterrorism.”"".
