Family loses 7 boys because they were firing mortars into Israel. In another example of New York Times bias, the story buries the reasons why they died, and fails to talk about the real tragedy.
The Israeli army targets, with one tank shell, a group who are launching mortars from a field in Gaza into Israel. Seven boys from one family died. This is tragic. What is even more tragic is that these boys were allowed to be anywhere near the mortar installation.
This write up by Steven Erlanger of the New York Times focuses much detail on the family’s anguish, but fails to ask why the boys were launching mortars in the first place, who allowed them to get close to the equipment, and what sort of society it is that allows children to launch mortars against another nation.
How reliable the New York Times is when it comes to biasing a story about Israel.
