August 30, 2019 ACTION ALERT: NYT Presents Murder of a Palestinian Boy as ‘National Trauma’—for Jewish Israelis https://fair.org/home/action-alert-nyt-presents-murder-of-a-palestinian-boy-as-national-trauma-for-jewish-israelis/ 'The New York Times (8/27/19) takes up the complaint of “some Israelis” that an HBO series “unfairly focuses on the killing of a Palestinian teen by Jews when Palestinian terrorism is more common.”' 'It was the extraordinary coldbloodedness of the murder that made it true-crime movie material in the first place…. But Our Boys, a 10-part series that started this month on HBO, is under attack in Israel largely because of that singularity. Some critics have accused the creators of skewing reality and ignoring what they say is the more common scourge of Palestinian terrorism against Israelis, creating a false equivalency between the two and tarnishing Israel’s image.' _____ The CEO of the NYT is Mark Thompson, ex DG of the BBC and a supporter of Zionist Israel. He visited Sharon with his wife, Jane Blumberg, daughter of . Baruch Samuel Blumberg, in 2005. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/7596/response/18404/attach/html/3/RFI20090237%20final%20response.pdf.html |
