The New York Times, Wrong Again

I admit that this is a horrendous comparison, but here goes:

Anyone who knows anything about Twentieth Century European History will tell you that you can't start with the rise of Nazism and ignore  World War I and its aftermath.  History is a process, a series of events.

There's a pathetically misleading editorial about the problems between Israel and Turkey based on the easy to research fallacy that everything was hunky-dory between the two countries until Israel inspected the flotilla, discovered armed, aggressive mercenaries and in self-defence killed some of them.

This is an easy one.  If everything was fine prior to the flotilla, why had Turkey sent those armed mercenaries to Israel?  Yes, to Israel, because it was 100% clear that Israel would be inspecting the boat. Those Turkish mercenaries attacked the Israeli inspectors.

This was far from the first anti-Israel policies by Turkey recently.  I'm just a blogger who doesn't get paid.  The NY Times has paid journalists to research.  I expect accurate, well-researched articles from a newspaper like the NY Times.
