Kerry blames 'Palestinian' incitement for Har Nof attack, NY Times fails to report it

Poor John Kerry. He finally does the right thing and unequivocally places the blame for a terror attack on the 'Palestinians'... and the New York Times won't even report it.

The New York Times is being criticized for failing to report on some versions of its stories, on Secretary of State John Kerry’s unusually unequivocal statement saying that Palestinian incitement was directly responsible for the Jerusalem massacre. He said that the murders were “a pure result of incitement” by Palestinian Authority leaders during the days before, to attack Israelis.

This was one of the most blunt statements made in recent years by a senior U.S. official against the Palestinian leadership. But according to reports in the U.S., the domestic American edition of the New York Times, which devotes so much space day after day criticizing Israel, decided to omit it from its print report the day after the massacre, and remove it from its website stories during the day of the massacre having initially posted it.

Kerry said “people who had come to worship God in the sanctuary of a synagogue were hatcheted and hacked and murdered in that holy place in an act of pure terror and senseless brutality and murder. I call on the Palestinian leadership at every single level to condemn this in the most powerful terms… this kind of act, which is a pure result of incitement of calls for days of rage, of just an irresponsibility, is unacceptable.”

Kerry is right. Here's an example that was posted on the internet on Tuesday - the day of the Har Nof attack. 

Let's go to the videotape.


The Times should be condemned as a facilitator of terrorism. Where is the outrage?
