This long New York Times article on the wave of violence in Israel and Palestine describes many Palestinian attacks but says not one word about settler violence.

The entire article is from the Israeli Jewish perspective. Right at the start we are told this is “a country in a grim mood on the eve of a Jewish holiday,” and then the catalog of violence is all Palestinian:

Mr. Netanyahu and others in his rightist government have accused President Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority of inciting violence and giving tacit support to terrorism, not least by failing to promptly condemn the gun and knife attacks that claimed the lives of four Israelis in the West Bank and the Old City of Jerusalem over the last few days. Violence struck again at around 4 a.m. on Sunday when a Palestinian from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya stabbed and wounded a 15-year-old Jewish boy on a road outside the Old City, according to the police.

More:

Two Israeli men stabbed to death by a Palestinian teenager in the Old City on Saturday night were buried in Jerusalem on Sunday.

There is not a word here of the settler attacks that Allison Deger reports from Ramallah, or that the Israeli website +972 has from across Palestine:

Israeli settlers carried out dozens of violent attacks across the West Bank over the past two days in the wake of the murders of four Israeli civilians by Palestinians.

The Times just can’t go there. It can’t relate the settler “pricetag” attacks of six days ago that Deger reports, or the arson attack by settlers on the Dawabshe family in Duma two months ago that killed three, or the killing of a Palestinian medic, Diaa al-Talahmeh two weeks ago (which Deger reports motivated alleged Palestinian killer Mohannad Halabi), or the “extrajudicial execution” by Israeli soldiers of Hadil al-Hashlamoun in occupied Hebron ten days ago.

All are surely factors in the latest wave of unrest.

In the Times‘s distortion of the truth, this isn’t even a cycle of violence. It’s all Palestinian attacks aimed at Israelis. The arrogance is epitomized by this observation:

Israelis debated whether the string of recent attacks by Palestinians, which appeared to lack any orchestrating group, amounted to a third intifada, or uprising.

You’d think if there were a Palestinian uprising, Palestinians would announce it. Not in the pages of the New York Times.

Update: And Haaretz has this story. Which the Times refuses to cover:
