The NYT like all US media is rabidly pro-Israel compared to the European news media.

>>Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers. In a rare criticism of the kingdom's powerful "mutaween" police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday. << More at: news.bbc.co.uk

The New York Times is anti-Israel? Merciful heavens, by that standard Israel can't have many friends. It doesn't. But regarding the NY Times, I would say that the Times is still in love with Oslo and is like the wife who won't see her husband's infidelities. That is why I said, a few posts back, that The NY Times continues to wish the Arabs into moderate postions that they do not actually profess. The NY Times' love affair with Oslo is causing them to falsify their coverage of all the Arab regimes, continually moderating the positions that can be moderated, and ignoring the totally immoderate positions. The Times keeps trying to put a happy face on peace-making, like today's headline "Hopes Rise for a Mideast Truce, Despite Attacks" (The Washington Post and WSJ had much less hopeful headlines). In fact, those attacks are a winning game for Arafat right now and no one expects them to stop. I don't think it's an accident that the Times has not yet reported that even as Prince Abdullah floats his little "peace plan", a professor from King Fahd university prints an article in Al Riyadh (chief government-controlled daily newspaper) explaining how the Jews use the blood of Arab teenagers for making hamentashen for Purim and the blood of young children for making Passover matzah. Reporting what actually gets printed in Saudi and other Arab media would make the chances for peace seem a lot less rosy.
