• September 30 -- Lumping
Toddlers with Rock-Throwing Teens
A headline on a story on violence in Israel, "Children on Both Sides
Killed on Northern Border of Gaza Strip," portrays the victims as equally
young and innocent. Problem is, the Israeli terror victims were toddlers, while
two of the Palestinian "children" were 16- and 17-year-olds throwing
stones at soldiers.
• August 12 -- An
Israeli's "Unlikely Friendship" with a Terrorist
Greg Myre reports from Jerusalem on a terrorist sympathizer in "An Israeli
Uproar, and Arrest, Over an Unlikely Friendship." The
"friendship" headline definitely soft-pedals the story of an Israeli
woman's relationship with an anti-Israeli terrorist: "As she was being led
in handcuffs to a court hearing on Tuesday, [Fahima] angrily defended him. 'He
does not plan attacks,' she said. 'Even if he does, so what?'"
• March 23 -- The
"Perceived Threat" of Hamas?
Israel's assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the "spiritual
leader" of the anti-Israel terrorist group Hamas, enables the Times to call
Yassin a lot of names, among them "Icon" and "Perceived
Threat"--but not "Terrorist."
• January 1 5 -- More
Double Standards on the Gaza Strip
While Greg Myre is preoccupied with the
sex of a suicide bomber that killed four Israelis, Craig Smith's calls embattled
Jewish settlers in Gaza "flagships of extreme Zionism [that] provoke
Palestinian fury."

• October 15 -- Repositioning a
Left-Wing Peace Plan
Greg Myre tries to situate a left-wing Middle East peace plan in the
mainstream of Israeli politics, though it's so pro-Palestinian even liberal Ehud
Barak blasts it as "irresponsible and damaging to the State of Israel."
• July 8 -- Greg
Myre’s Own Mideast Road Map
The first draft of reporter Greg Myre’s article from Jerusalem falsely
asserts the Middle East peace “road map” requires Israel to release Palestinian
prisoners.
