Notice how this map ignores, except for Bet-El (which, it is true, is mentioned in the story), any Jewish community in the geographical area.
That's the NYTimes for you.

As a YESHA supported, I don't believe the general coverage of the New York Times regarding YESHA is that bad. They don't demonize the Jews living there to the extent that the mainline Israeli media does. The article mentions that Shehada's father was murdered under mysterious (i.e. political) circumstances, they mention that the by-pass roads were built as a result of Arab violence and they mention that Shehada himself came under prolonged fire from his brother Palestinian policemen. They also say he has encountered suspicious armed Jews but one can conclude that they have reason to be suspicious of unidentified Arabs wandering around. I say be thankful for small favors.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

Points taken but with all that, type in NYTimes at my blog search when you have some spare time
