On Jerusalem stabbings,The New York Times' Jodi Rudoren buries the evidence and facts under a pile of competing Israeli and Palestinian claims. She ignores MSNBC footage which confirms the Israeli account and completely belies the Palestinian "narrative." 
Prime Minister Netanyahu is being criticized for saying in a speech that the first Palestinian leader, Haj Amin el-Husseini, known as the Grand Mufti, had given Hitler the idea of exterminating the Jews. But the criticism can't erase the facts: the Mufti was a Nazi war criminal who got away with mass murder. 
The New York Times incorrectly identifies the Western Wall as Judaism's holiest site. The Temple Mount holds that distinction. It also wrongly states four Palestinians were killed in clashes. Of the four Palestinian fatalities, three died attacking Israelis. 
After CAMERA informed editors that the newspaper incorrectly characterized the Western Wall, and not the Temple Mount, as the holiest site in Judaism, the newspaper published a correction. 
Jodi Rudoren's "East Jerusalem, Bubbling Over With Despair" is yet another tiresome example of the New York Times whitewashing Palestinian terrorism, omitting material facts, and just generally getting the story wrong about Israel and about the Palestinians. 
As terror attacks continue to shake Israel, journalists and headline writers seem to be doing their best to obscure the reality of the Palestinian stabbings, and even to cast attackers as victims of arbitrary Israeli violence. After correspondence between CAMERA staff and New York Times journalists, the newspaper corrected an inaccurate passage claiming Israel's presence in the Golan Heights and West Bank is an "illegal" occupation. After deadly Palestinian attacks against Israelis triggered by false claims that Israel is threatening the al-Aqsa Mosque, the New York Times published a mostly mangled history of the situation and of the Temple Mount, relying in part on an "expert" who is also an outspoken supporter of boycotting Israel.
