Correcting the New York Times
CAMERA http://www.camera.org/ is commenting the The New York Times prides itself on presenting "All the News that's Fit to Print," but their pages routinely omit coverage of statements and actions by the Palestinian Authority and its officials which clearly communicate refusal to coexist in peace with Israel. Failure to tell the full facts about the Palestinian position misleads readers and policymakers alike.
CAMERA is requesting that as many people as possible write letters asking the New York Times to cover the full facts about the Palestinians. You can use any of these examples:
a) The PLO chose Latifa Abu Hmeid as the face of their U.N. statehood campaign even while she is celebrated as the mother of sons involved in terrorist murders of Israelis.
b) Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Abdullah Abdullah said the creation of a Palestinian state will not mean an "end of the conflict."
c) PLO diplomat Maen Rashid Areikat stated that "absolutely" no Jews could remain in a future Palestinian state.
d) A poll by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion, sponsored by The Israel Project, showed that 61% of Palestinians reject a two-state solution, 72% support denial of Jewish history in Jerusalem and 53% support teaching Palestinian schoolchildren to hate Jews.
e) Fatah Central Committee Member Abbas Zaki asserted, "If we say that we want to wipe Israel out...C'mon it's too difficult. It's not [acceptable] policy to say so. Don't say these things to the world. Keep it to yourself."
f) And Mahmoud Abbas told an interviewer, "I will never recognize the Jewishness of the state, or a 'Jewish state.'" He also said that the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit was "a good thing."
