Reading A Map

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.

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