The New York Times feigns care about the Palestinians. You see the New York Times is sensitive to Palestinian victims when their victimizers are not Israeli. "Al Haq, a Palestinian rights group based in the West Bank city of Ramallah, released a report on Monday on what it called a “horrifying and blatantly illegal trend” of arbitrary arrests, torture and other cruel or degrading treatment against individuals in the West Bank and Gaza by “various Palestinian security or military agencies and personnel.” Al Haq said the maltreatment had resulted in three deaths in Gaza and one in the West Bank since June 2007. Human Rights Watch is to release a report on Wednesday documenting abuses by Hamas against Fatah in Gaza, and by Fatah against Hamas in the West Bank, in the past year."
