No matter what, the New York Times will never just simply state: Israeli soldiers shot Palestinians.

New York Times now has a policy: they never ever just state the simple facts that Israeli soldiers shoot and kills Palestinians. They have to bury the facts behind layers of contexts, distortions, explanations, and fabrication.  Look at this headline: "2 Palestinians Killed in West Bank Clashes".  If this was in Syria or Russia or in any country that is not an ally of the US, the headline would simply be: Israeli soldiers shot and killed Palestinians. For some reason, when Palestinians demonstrate, their demonstrations become "clashes" in order to justify Israeli shooting of them.  Also, in Gaza, all Israeli murders are blamed on Hamas, what about Israeli murders in West Bank? Who will they be blamed on? Hizbullah?
