NYT protects Israel on ‘live ammunition’ charge

An interesting juxtaposition (pointed out by Matt Berkman):

NY Times article on Kyrgyzstan protests: "Earlier in the day, the police used live ammunition, tear gas and stun grenades against a crowd of thousands that massed in front of the presidential office in Bishkek, according to witness accounts."

NY Times on Palestinian protests: "[Israeli] [t]roops have responded with stun grenades, rubber bullets, tear gas and arrests."

No mention of "live ammunition" in the case of Israel, despite documented evidence in two Palestinian deaths.
