Disturbing food for thought:
A New York Times article by Jerusalem bureau chief and former deputy foreign editor, Ethan Bronner, dated June 6, 2009, sets out "parallels" between "Hamas militants" and "settler extremists". http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/07/weekinreview/07bronner.html
"There are striking parallels between the hard-core opponents of a peace deal on each side," explains Bronner, giving various examples, such as: "They are generally driven by a belief in a law higher than any created by human legislatures".
The New York Times has done a terrible thing.
* It is absolutely unacceptable to write about "parallels" between those Israelis (about one-half) who oppose Palestinian state and the Hamas. Doing so is not only a vicious denigration of Israelis -- it is a public relations boon of the first order for one of the worst terror groups in the world.
* Yes, any two groups of people have things in common. But when the New York Times chooses to write about what two specific groups have in common -- that gives a message. In this case -- the wrong message. Example: There are "parallels" between Ethan Bronner and Bin-Laden, for example. Both have a last name that begins with B, both are male, and both have issues with Israeli "settlers". But if someone were to write this in a mass-circulated newspaper, even though it is true, it would be an abomination. The only reasonable thing that can be said about Mr. Bronner and arch-terrorist Bin-Laden is that they have nothing significant in common. Similarly, a respectable opinion-setter like the New York Times should be the first to stand up and say that the Israeli "settlers" and "peace deal opponents" have nothing significant in common with the Hamas, because the trademark of Hamas is their concerted effort to slaughter men, women and children in the name of hate. So, the Hamas can be compared to other terror groups, and to organized crime groups. They cannot be compared to hundreds of thousands of Israelis - in many cases, ironically, themselves victims of Hamas.
