The New York Times described the killing this week of IDF soldier Amit Ben Yigal as follows: “A 21-year-old Israeli soldier was killed early Tuesday when he was struck in the head with a rock. Yes,
but rocks don’t target Israeli soldiers, someone must be guide their way.
In reality, the soldier was killed by a Palestine terrorist, who dropped it on an Israeli soldier.
Emanuel Miller of watchdog group HonestReporting wrote, “Journalists have a responsibility to accurately, fairly report events. Reporters have a duty to share all the facts. Rocks don’t hit people by themselves, just as car doesn’t drive into people of their own volition.”
