The New York Times found an op—ed to publish that simultaneously castigates its two bete noirs: Israel and America. The op—ed is written by the "legal adviser" of the Palestinian Organization. This is the same organization that routinely violates laws —— even those purportedly established by them when the PA was permitted to open shop in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This group has also been behind the murder of thousands of innocent people over the years, and is thus a serial violator of international law. Yet, the Times allows him to disgrace its paper by using it to publish a clarion call against not just Israel but America!
 
Note: the paper allows him to use the inflammatory and false description of the security barrier as a "wall". The "wall portion" is less than 5% of the barrier and is erected in places where snipers have shot at innocent families and where a cement structure would actually be less obtrusive than the security fence.
 
 In the print edition this section is highlighted: "A RULING ON ISRAEL'S WALL COULD CURB US  POWER AT THE UN".
This is clearly a goal the PA and the NY Times can agree upon—the evisceration of American power.
