Not Fit to Print (part two of a continuing series)

Seems that terrorism in Israel and the occupied territories increased 54% in April, despite the "truce" that is supposedly in effect. So says the Jerusalem Post.

Yet another story the Times is ignoring, pushing instead stories that support its pro-Abbas party line. So if and when the "truce" finally comes apart at the seams, Times readers will be caught by surprise--just as they were in 2000, when the "paper of record" [sic] likewise soft-peddled Palestinian violence and preparations for same. Won't they ever learn? Ignoring Palestinian violence won't make it go away.
