NY Times ignored Abbas "genocide" reference and State Dept. criticism

All the news that's fit to print?

The New York Times has a single article about Mahmoud Abbas' speech to the UN, and the entire article centers on whether he will try to bring a case against Israel to the International Criminal Court.

It doesn't say a word about his sickening characterization of an Israeli war against rockets as "genocide" - which was in the very first paragraph of his speech.

In this year, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Israel has chosen to make it a year of a new war of genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people.

Other news services highlighted it, but the NYT doesn't want to make Abbas look like anything but statesmanlike.

Moreover, the Times didn't say anything about the State Department's denunciation of the speech. (Although it does not appear to be on the State Department website either.)
