Israël peut humilier quotidiennement des milliers de palestiniens aux checkpoints sans qu’Ethan Bronner du New York Times y trouve jamais quoi que ce soit à redire. Mais humilier une journaliste du New York Times, ça, vraiment, non.

The New York Times bureau chief in Israel, Ethan Bronner, welcomed the planned changes but said the newspaper remains shocked at the treatment Addario received and how long the investigation took.
Le « traitement » :
Israel’s Defense Ministry apologized Monday for the treatment of a pregnant American news photographer who said she was strip searched and humiliated by Israeli soldiers during a security check.
Lynsey Addario, who was on assignment for the New York Times, had requested that she not be forced to go through an X-ray machine as she entered Israel from the Gaza Strip because of concerns for her unborn baby.
Instead, she wrote in a letter to the ministry, she was forced through the machine three times as soldiers “watched and laughed from above.” She said she was then taken into a room where she was ordered by a female worker to strip down to her underwear.
La prochaine fois, peut-être qu’Ethan Bronner s’intéressera aux rapports de l’OHCR consacrés aux femmes palestiniennes qui accouchent aux checkpoints de l’armée d’occupation :
