On March 5th the NEW YORK TIMES ran a headline which reads

Suicide Bomber Kills 3 Israelis A Day After 6 Palestinians Die
by Deborah Sontag.

    Sontag begins her story after the misleading headline with the fact that ‘only’ three Israelis were killed, balanced against the unrelated fact that 6 Palestinians were killed the day before. Sontag deliberately leaves out the fact that over 70 Israelis were maimed by the Palestinian suicide bomber. Instead, she begins a defensive, damage control explanation, well-crafted to redirect the readers’ shock and anger away from the terrorist’s despicable act. Sontag launches into a plea for other Palestinians, six of whom were killed by Israelis in other areas during shootouts the day before. Sontag neglects to mention these casualties were in self-defense after Palestinian gunfire attacks against Israeli civilians. She and the NEW YORK TIMES have also never mentioned that there have been more than 3300 Palestinian attacks with gunfire, bombs and firebombs against Israelis since the Rosh HaShanah Arab Assault began. As usual, she tries to create a moral equivalency as a barrier to the readers’ fury and revulsion over the scene of decapitated heads, other amputated limbs and much blood. This suicide bomber blew himself up at a busy intersection during morning rush hour in order to kill as many Jews as possible. The amount of explosives he carried sent a nearby car flying into the air. But that's OK because 6 Palestinians were killed the day before.
