Let's stop for a moment and analyse this frankly irresponsible reporting from @SheeraF of the @NYTimes.

The Times didn't post any such article about the Arab mobs that attacked Jews in Israeli cities, pelting vehicles and cars with rocks.

Nor did it document the wave of Palestinian attacks on Jews for viral TikTok videos that presaged the current violence.

To post this kind of one-sided nonsense while it is a well-documented fact that both Arab and Jewish extremists formed groups of this type is irresponsible, and is not going to help any kind of effort to calm the streets.

Of course, the majority of deaths and destruction of property were caused by the Arab rioters. Focusing on the Jewish extremists alone constitutes insanely imbalanced reporting, an utter distortion of reality.

At the moment, Jewish and Arab medical staff in various hospitals around the country have been calling for calm and sharing photos on social media holding signs in Hebrew and Arabic reading “Peace”, “Continuing Together”, “All Together” and “Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself”.

Israeli Arabs and Jews - especially women - are standing together to calm the violence in the streets. Together, they have pushed the extremists to leave their neighbourhoods. Muslim and Jewish religious and political leaders have called for an end to the violence on both sides.

Just yesterday, Cellcom, one of Israel's largest phone networks, encouraged its Arab and Jewish workers to take part in a one-hour protest in the name of "co-existence, fraternity, and peace."

Also just yesterday, an Israeli Arab woman received a kidney transplanted from the body of Yigal Yehoshua, the 56-year-old Israeli who died of his wounds after being stoned by an Israeli Arab mob in Lod.

All this, at a time when Jews are being intimidated by spate of attacks in the UK, America, Germany, and elsewhere.

Jewish leaders have warned that “geopolitical events 3,000 miles away” are being used as a pretext for vicious attacks on Jews.

There is so much going on, but by focusing on this one negative element alone, the NYTimes is fanning the flames, and feeding the wave of hatred of Israel and Jews.

Thanks, @NYTimes, for helping perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and for using our lives as clickbait.
