Recall @PatrickKingsley of #SadSadIsrael saga? Touring Israel, @nytimes journo found only sad citizens in overwhelming happy country. Well, things took a strange turn this weekend when a *million* Israelis were sadly forced into shelters, fleeing from Islamic Jihad rockets (1/4)
Suddenly, Kingsley couldn't find most of those 1 million Israelis sadly hiding out in bomb shelters! Instead, he reported that only "thousands" fled, erasing the vast majority of the threatened Israeli citizens. tinyurl.com/yjcd86d4 (2/4) 
While @AP and @Reuters both commendably corrected hours after underreporting "tens of thousands" Israelis fled for safety -- still wrong, but more accurate than @nytimes' "thousands" -- "Paper of Record" has still failed to correct after 3 days tinyurl.com/mrytewn4 (3/4)
The NYT view of "what it means to be Israeli today: “tensions," "inequities,” “divisions,” “unrest,” “fury,” “ambivalence,” “illegitimacy,” “alienation,” “injustice,” “discrimination,” “bias,” “abuse,” misfortune, “slums” & “shabby” “tired” “garish” towns. camera.org/article/ny-tim…
2/ Israel is consistently ranked among the very happiest in the world. It is home to what Time Out says is the "funnest" city in the world.
No wonder the guy in Time Out's photo looks so sad. #SadSadIsrael

3/ A few years ago I had the misfortune of randomly stumbling upon this parade of sadness in the Druze town of Dalyat al Karmel. #SadSadIsrael
