NYT Interactive Feature Used as Teaching Tool Distorts Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
A New York Times website interactive feature is currently being used as a teaching tool about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in some U.S. public schools. But it distorts the conflict. With its obsessive focus on Israeli actions that allegedly obstruct peace while concealing a Palestinian role in the conflict, it misleads the audience.
The controversy surrounding a peace award offered to Jimmy Carter by an academic journal at Benjamin M. Cardozo Law School in New York City is understandable given the former president's antipathy toward Israel.
