Greg Myre

2004

• 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.
