The paper just published a long indictment of what it actually called “Jewish terrorism” against Palestinians. Time after time, we’ve shown how the paper ignores violent Jewish Israeli figures, and disguises vicious unprovoked attacks by Jewish “settlers” in the occupied West Bank as “clashes,” which somehow seem to just erupt spontaneously. Very little of what is in this long Times article is new; much of the reporting is about events that happened decades ago. The protesters represented the old Israeli elite, who are losing political power to the religious far right and the increasingly powerful settler/colonists. It is this old elite that Bergman quoted at length in this long report.
