In my post this morning on the Times, I failed to mention the main reason that many political people I know don't lament the Times's collapse– because it foolishly promoted the Iraq war and has ignored the destruction of Palestinian human rights. Writes a Jewish activist friend:
The man who was murdered yesterday in Bil'in was protesting the
expansion of a settlement 30% built by Lev Leviev, built on land
swiped with fraudulent papers from Bil'in by the Leviev-supported Land
Redemption Fund.
Has NYT mentioned anything negative about Leviev, ever reported UNICEF rejecting him? The UK gov't refusing to rent its embassy from him? Even the NY Post covered the campaign against Lev twice.
No; but they've run ads for his blood diamond store on their oped page more than a dozen times. As I said, not suitable for wrapping fish.
