James North points me to this photograph at the top of the front page of the Times today, from Hebron, and says: 
"I insist that this is unconscious bias. Why is this on the front page? You would have sympathy for her and see some faceless soldier dragging a human being away. Rather than see a colonist, who is not nearly in as much pain as other people in that area who run gauntlets of stone just to get their children to school, because of that woman's actions. And only later in the story do we read about the rampages by the settlers against Palestinians."
Compare to the Guardian's front page: "Jewish Settlers in Hebron Shoot Palestinian Men" with the B'Tselem video of the horrific shooting.
While Haaretz gets the story: It's about "pogroms" against Palestinians. Pogroms. (The word I always use).
If that woman in the picture is also an American citizen, she needs to be returned to the US and prosecuted with the same laws that sent John Walker Lindh to federal prison for twenty years. If she is not an American citizen, Israel needs to prosecute her the same way they prosecute Palesinians for protesting Israeli rule, with the exception that the Israeli authorities do not break her right hand, like the Israelis did to so many Palestinian children during the Second Intifada.
Would the New York Times ever have published a picture of a beaten-up Christian South African female landowner being dragged off by anti-apartheid soldiers/activists (probably to be raped) under the pretext that she is a colonialist on its front page? No, because selectively left-liberal Western Jewish Zionist propaganda/media want to encourage and glorify anti-Christian pogroms, and such a portrayal would have been sympathetic to Christians. But the same “liberal” media detests Jewish disunity in the Jewish nationalist sphere, and wants to encourage and sustain Jewish nationalism and apartheid in the Levant, hence it portrays the Jewish colonizer as the victim. Two-faced, with two sets of standards depending on what race/religion is the "aggressor."
Most Americans I've met know nothing about the I-P conflict (or our foreign aid parsing for that matter), although a few will spout off about
camel jockeys and how peaceful Israelis are subjected to crazy suicide bombers while eating in a jewish pizza joint.
All of them think it was right to end slavery, not be racist, and that
it was good to get rid of apartheid S Africa.
They all think you should judge people individually too.
These people are white gentiles without college, and a few with
junior college or state college degrees. None are very religious, but all view themselves as Christians; most seldom go to church.
goddam hippies.
Comment #44 to Settlers to Ethiopian troops:
Niggers don’t expel Jews, by Danny Adino Ababa, YNet
Please tell me, what is a “real jew”? One who eats gefilte fish and dresses either like a penguin or in a bizarre combination of crocs, knitted kippa, oversize american clothes from k-mart and a 9mm tucked into his back pocket? I laugh inwardly when I see fanatics — a disproportionate number of whom seem to have red hair — who believe that they are “indigenous” to this country, yet can’t shake their foreign accents in hebrew, or the fact that their pasty pink skin will peel in the judaean sun in a matter of minutes if care isn’t taken.
