NYT: Uranium Enrichment and Israeli Settlements
The New York Times has turned the topic of President Obama’s interim nuclear deal with Iran into yet another opportunity to indict Israel – this time by equating Iran’s enrichment of uranium with Israel’s settlements. Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren inanely equates the continued enrichment of uranium with the establishment of Israeli homes in the West Bank, suggesting that this somehow constitutes Israeli hypocrisy. The utter ridiculousness of the comparison highlights the Times’ readiness to forgo logic in its eagerness to put forth any kind of condemnation of Israel.
CAMERA demonstrates the absurdity of Rudoren’s article here.
