In this scathing analysis of Israel-Palestine coverage in the US
media, Howard Friel and Richard Falk reveal the persistent ways the
New York Times has ignored principles of international law in order
to shield its readers from Israel's lawlessness. While the Times
publishes dozens of front-page stories and extensive commentary on
the killings of Israelis, it publishes very few such stories on the
killings of Palestinians, and mostly ignores the extensive
documentation of massive violations of Palestinian human rights by
the government of Israel. Furthermore, the Times regularly ignores
or under-reports a multitude of critical legal issues pertaining to
Israel's policies, including Israel's expropriation and settlement
of Palestinian land, the two-tier system of laws based on national
origin evocative of South Africa's apartheid regime, the demolition
of Palestinian homes, and use of deadly force against Palestinians.
These journalistic practices have not only shielded the extent of
Israel's transgressions from the American electorate, which is
Israel's main source of financial and military support, it has
severely diminished our understanding of the Middle East and of US
foreign policy in general.
