COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JAMES NORTH IN MONDOWEISS
“The ‘NY Times’ should stop calling the Netanyahu/Trump proposal a ‘peace plan,’ without quotation marks”
Yes, indeed.
Do readers know, however, that the New York Times, some while back, confirmed an old suspicion of critics?
All of its articles concerning Israel are submitted to the Official Israeli Censor before publication.
Some independent journalism.
Some regard for fairness.

Response to a comment, saying, “There is no other way to interpret Trump’s message to Israel: Continue to be an Apartheid state of war crimes, crimes against humanity and human rights violations and we blame the Palestinians for not embracing peacefully what you are.
But remember the words of General Dayan after the 1967 War to the effect that it would be necessary to make the Palestinians miserable enough to want to leave the captured territories.
That has been Israel’s consistent, if unspoken, policy for half a century.
