Notice how the NY Times carefully sanitizes the story to make Israel look better: Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a faction linked to the Fatah movement of Yasir Arafat, claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying it was revenge for recent Israeli raids in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In those Israeli raids, a pregnant woman was shot, and a teenage girl and 4 others were killed, but we needn't bother Americans with such pesky details. Early Monday, Israeli armored vehicles pushed into the Gaza Strip to demolish what the army called militant gun posts, Reuters reported. Palestinian medics said a man was killed when his house was knocked down in the raid, near Khan Yunis. Again, a detail is intentionally omitted: The victim was a 70-year old handicapped man. Also, when the Palestinian is killed, it reported as "Palestinian medics said...". When the Israeli is killed, it is not reported as "Israeli medic said...". In that case, it is just reported as fact. Tom Message 20302665
