Ethan Bronner of the NYT writes from Gaza: “And rockets and mortar shells fly daily from here into Israel, as Israeli troops carry out brief raids.”
But it doesn’t add up as later he writes: “Since September, when Israel and the Palestinian Authority started peace talks, there have been 20 to 30 rockets and mortar shells shot monthly into Israel, double the rate for the first part of the year.”
CAMERA has gone after this “daily” language and prompted corrections. See here (notwithstanding Siegman’s “virtually”):
Will The New York Times correct Bronner? It didn’t correct Isabel Kershner when she recently put the Golan Heights in Israel.
Speaking of violence, look at how Bronner characterizes the violence on the Mavi Marmara and who initiated it during the nighttime boarding of a boat in international waters by helicopter-dropped commandos on May 31.
“The change started over the summer after a Turkish flotilla tried to break the Israeli siege by sailing to Gaza. Israeli commandos, meeting violent resistance aboard one of the ships, killed nine men.”
