NY Slimes Shills For Hamas

The NY Slimes did not see fit to publish pictures of the brutally butchered Fogel family, but makes sure it features photos of the “palestinian” civilians accidentally killed by an Israeli air strike in response to hamas rocket fire. Civilians which hamas takes cover amongst in order to use them as human shields. Hamas doesn’t need its own media propaganda outlet since it has the NY Slimes and much of the leftist western media establishment.

Backspin:
New York Times: Gaza Edition

by Yarden Frankl

A man holds the bloody body of a young boy. He was one of three young men who were playing soccer, killed along with a 60 year old grandfather by an Israeli attack gone “horribly wrong.” The caption tells us that one of the victims was only ten years old.

With pictures and details like these, we must be reading the Gaza edition of the NYT.

The headline: Israel Attack on Gaza Militants Kills Four Civilians. Right to the point, we know who attacked and who died. And we have a huge, graphic picture of a victim in case there is any doubt. I wouldn’t have a problem with their coverage if they used the same standards when reporting about attacks where Israelis are the victims.

But that’s the point. They don’t.

When a family of five Israelis are butchered in their beds, the Times uses a completely different style. No more sensational pictures. No headlines that identify the attackers. And the victims aren’t civilians, they are “settlers.”
