Last week, I wrote about how the New York Times caved to Israel-haters like Glenn Greenwald, Salon magazine, and later Mondoweiss, wh0 accused it of “pro-Israel bias” because it put the word “occupation” in scare quotes here:
Two of the senator’s appointees to the party’s platform drafting committee, Cornel West and James Zogby, on Wednesday denounced Israel’s “occupation” of the West Bank and Gaza and said they believed that rank-and-file Democrats no longer hewed to the party’s staunch support of the Israeli government.
The scare quotes were entirely appropriate, I pointed out, because Gaza cannot be considered occupied by any reasonable interpretation of international law. (I could argue about Judea and Samaria as well, but one has to choose one’s battles.)
After I wrote my critique of the NYT’s silent removal of the scare quotes, it removed the words “and Gaza” from the article and added a correction.
