New York Times - Again Supporting Wrong Over Right
On September 2, its editorial titled "Turkey, Israel and the Flotilla" highlighted support for the worst Israeli crimes, saying:
"The United Nations has long pummeled Israel, and Israeli leaders initially resisted an 'independent' investigation into the" Flotilla raid.
Israel went along, of course, when UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stacked the Palmer Commission with pro-Israeli/anti-Palestinian supporters, so "accepted (its) findings" when revealed well in advance of the report's release.
The editorial blasted Turkey, saying:
"We don't blame Israel for wondering if Turkey is keeping this conflict going to burnish its standing in the Arab world."
Adding that "Israel should apologize for the deaths," it said "Turkey should stop upping the ante."
Turkey, of course, wants Israel held responsible for cold blooded murder. Yet it's willing to accept only an apology and compensation for victims' families. Hardline Israelis refuse to say they're sorry, shooting themselves in the foot in the process.
