Can you imagine the Times saying that earlier this year when China crushed Tibet? No, you can't. The first paragraph of the Times editorial on Gaza (who needs to read more):
Israel must defend itself. And Hamas must bear responsibility for
ending a six-month cease-fire this month with a barrage of rocket
attacks into Israeli territory. Still we fear that Israel’s response —
devastating airstrikes that represent the largest military operation in
Gaza since 1967 — is unlikely to weaken the militant Palestinian group
substantially or move things any closer to what all Israelis and all
Palestinians need: a durable peace agreement and a two-state solution.

And more than 385 Palestinians were just killed. You wonder why the internet just surpassed newspapers as an information source. You wonder why the late Arthur Hays Sulzberger was "deeply opposed to Zionism."
In other threads someone (I forget which poster – SOG? Witty?) asked why Hamas wasn't renounced by Phil and others on this site. I have found that there are far more fanatical Zionist sites that are considered in the mainstream of Zionism. There are so many of them that it would be a full time job renouncing them (if that was even considered in the 1st place).
Have a gander at the 'path to peace' as offered by the site, Samson Blinded :
"And Hamas must bear responsibility for ending a six-month cease-fire this month with a barrage of rocket attacks into Israeli territory."
Back to Looking-Glass Land, I see.
Worst of all, Lance, is that Palestinians are up against the American media. From Rachel Maddow to Arianna Huffington, and all those to their right, Palestinians find themselves in a no-win situation.
From Lance's kahanist SamsonBlinded site:
""Most Jews adhere to an exceedingly rigid code of conduct, prescribed by their Law, which prohibits immoral actions (usually) even toward gentiles."
… usually … even toward gentiles. You couldn't make this stuff up. :)
