Peace Talks

• December 2 -- An Officially Unofficial Middle East Peace Deal
James Bennet's story on a "peace deal" touted by left-wing Israelis is accompanied by this photo caption: "Palestinian protesters yesterday tried to stop an unidentified delegate from going to Geneva to meet Israeli delegates and sign an official truce." But the treaty is unofficial--neither government is involved.

• December 2 -- Propping Up Prospects for a Left-Wing "Peace" Deal
Elaine Sciolino calls an unofficial left-wing Israeli peace deal a rebuke to "hard-line" Ariel Sharon, and indulges in moral equivalency.

• June 17 -- The Times’ Muddled Middle East Morality
A front-page story by Greg Myre and Ian Fisher again shifts the blame for the failure of the Middle East “peace process” to the Israeli government, rather than the Palestinian terror group Hamas. The Times also attempts to position Israel and Hamas at two extremes--with the PLO as a voice of moderation.

• June 11 -- Israel Targeting of a Terrorist “Damages” Peace Talks
Middle East correspondent Greg Myre again puts the entire burden for the success of the “peace process” on Israel, saying its retaliation against a terror attack “further damaged an already fragile Middle East peace plan.”
