(CAMERA) Ricki Hollander and Tamar Sternthal - Anat Biletzki charged in the New York Times Opinionator blog on May 11 that after last summer's kidnapping of three Israeli teens, before their bodies were discovered: "During those three weeks, Israeli leaders openly called for retribution, with Prime Minister Netanyahu openly quoting the national poet Haim Nacham Bialik's 'Vengeance like this, for the blood of a child, Satan has yet to devise.'" In fact, Netanyahu did not call for retaliation. Bialik's lines, and Netanyahu's quotation of them, are a call for heavenly justice and a rejection of human vengeance for a heinous crime. The full, relevant quotation from the poem in question, penned by Bialik in response to the Kishinev pogrom, is: "And cursed is the man who says: Avenge! No such revenge - revenge for the blood of a little child - has yet been devised by Satan." By including Biletzki's false implied charge against Netanyahu - that he had called for vengeance - under its imprimatur, the New York Times is willfully deceiving its readers.2015-05-15 00:00:00Full Article
