Question: What is Muslim not a part of?

They tell the world that though the mass murderer was quoting from the Quran, he got the Quran wrong. Some of the gutsy ones don’t forget to add: What about your own secular mass murderers? They are suggesting that Muslim mass murderers should be treated like non-Muslim mass murderers, like those shooters on American college campuses or the invaders of Iraq. Should we thank them for striving for parity among mass killers? Did someone say peace? They say that Islam teaches us to respect all religions. They again point to the Holy Book: Look, here’s Jesus; he is our prophet, too. But they don’t explain the point of having a religion if its god and its prophet are no bigger or better or faster than yours. We are encouraged to look at Sufi Islam as a model of moderation. Yet Sufi Muslims, brandishing Rumi and whirling like couplets in a bad poem, don’t even pretend to offer any solution. When asked about Islam they say, let’s listen to some music. At least they are more honest than our spokesmen. And thank you, our spokesmen, for reminding the world that Muslims are not a race. Some of us speak Chinese, others Swahili. Some of us are gay, painters, lawyers, prostitutes, pimps or drummers, and of course mass murderers. Muslims disagree over most things, about this life and the afterlife as well. I have a household of six and can never get us to agree on anything, even though one is an infant and two are dogs.

Question: How is Rodriguez welcomed when playing on the road?

“I wasn’t sure what to expect in spring training,” Girardi said last week. “But Alex is a worker and he knows how to play the game. And he’s been a really smart player for a long period of time, so if there’s anyone who can figure it out quickly, it would be Alex.” Rodriguez’s performance has moved him into the good graces of many, but not all, Yankees fans. On the road, Rodriguez has been booed, though it often seems as if it is a matter of course. As Rodriguez noted recently, he has been a popular villain since 2001, when he signed a then-record $252 million free-agent contract with the Texas Rangers.

Question: What did many countries involved in the Holocaust acknowledge?

Third, Begley makes no mention of the many complex attempts by Polish gentiles to come to terms with the country’s responsibility, which would include the novels of Jerzy Andrzejewski and Andrzej Szczypiorski and films by Andrzej Wajda, Jerzy Kawalerowicz and Wanda Jakubowska. There is also a great deal of important historical work by Poles on the Holocaust, some of which is now available in English. Many countries involved in the Holocaust acknowledged their collective responsibility only after considerable delay: France did not begin to question its myth of heroic Resistance until the 1980s and 1990s. Poles are now “working through the past” — as Theodor Adorno put it — in a way comparable to the collective memory work of Germans since the 1960s. Last year’s opening of a Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw is only the most visible sign of this.

Question: What museum holds the wartime collaboration records?

While the city of 25,000 may remain a symbol, it may no longer be a scapegoat. Starting this week, the government will begin releasing online 200,000 wartime collaboration records, which have been held at the Police Museum in Paris and have been off limits for 75 years. By 2019, every name in those records will be available to the public. Thierry Wirth, a Vichy historian and author, said that would provide a true picture of France’s “collective involvement.” “The Vichy regime was situated here, in the free zone, but the records clearly show that the greatest numbers of collaborationists were, in fact, in the occupied zone, including Paris,” Mr. Wirth said. “Moreover, the region in which we are situated, the Auvergne, had France’s largest force of Resistance fighters, ‘Maquis du Mont Mouchet.’”

Question: What do some lawmakers say is a valid reason for not getting vaccinated?

JACKSON, Miss. —  The Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III, stood in a crowded room at the State Capitol this week and waited for a legislative verdict on the law that fostered what he regards as a public health triumph in a place that has few of them: the country’s highest immunization rate among kindergarten students. But in recent weeks, the nearly unbending nature of Mississippi’s law requiring students to be vaccinated has been in jeopardy, with two dozen lawmakers publicly supporting an exemption for “conscientious beliefs.” The debate, coming as other states grappled with a measles outbreak, turned Mississippi into one more battleground between medical experts who champion vaccinations and parents who fear the government’s role in medical decision-making.

Question: For how many years has the civil war been going on in South Sudan?

Three United Nations agencies reported Thursday that 3.9 million people in South Sudan, roughly a third of the population, now face “severe food insecurity” because of the mayhem and disruptions caused by that country’s nearly two-year-old civil war. A statement issued jointly by the agencies, Unicef, the World Food Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization, also said that at least 30,000 people in Unity State, in the north-central part of South Sudan, had fallen into the “catastrophe” phase of food insecurity — the most dire — and are “living in extreme conditions and are facing starvation and death.” Some families, the statement said, are subsisting on one meal a day of fish and water lilies. Despite a number of peace pledges made by the warring sides, fighting has persisted in South Sudan. Serge Tissot, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s representative in South Sudan, said in the statement that “livelihoods have been severely affected by high inflation rates, market disruption, conflict-related displacement and loss of livestock and agricultural production.”

Question: How many interviews did Towns give during the course of the game?

Towns’s confidence was on full display. After he connected on a 17-foot jump shot toward the end of regulation, he bowed for the crowd. His night was punctuated by four interviews: one on the court with the in-house announcer, another with the local television broadcast team, a third with NBA TV (during which he did a solid impression of Shaquille O’Neal, one of the hosts) and finally a small news conference for reporters in front of his locker. Karl Towns, his father, waited outside. He said he was extremely proud of his son, except for his two missed free throws. “He owes me 10 push-ups, and he knows it,” Karl Towns said. As the Timberwolves continue to search for an offensive rhythm, Ricky Rubio, now one of the team’s more experienced players, said he was getting a better feel for where and when Karl-Anthony Towns wanted the ball. Rubio declined to offer specifics.

Question: What other movie is Aaron Sorkin known for?

The movie “Steve Jobs” had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. It had a starry cast (Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Michael Fassbender). The screenplay was by the acclaimed writer Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote “The Social Network”). And it received rave reviews (“‘Steve Jobs’ is a rich and potent document of the times,” wrote my colleague A.O. Scott.) But the movie tanked at the box office, earning about $18 million in the seven weeks after its Oct. 9 release. Perhaps Hollywood had overestimated the public’s fascination with the man. Perhaps the film came a couple of years too late or a couple of decades too early. Or perhaps we have Steve Jobs fatigue, after all the books, movies and documentaries on the visionary Apple co-founder. But perhaps most surprising is the way in which Silicon Valley relished in, and contributed to, the film’s demise.

Question: Where is the supermax penitentiary?

The government and defense have been locked in increasingly intense battles, some voiced through objections in court, others occurring out of earshot of the jury and the news media; the contents of some of those have been made available later through transcripts. The only testimony Thursday concerned the conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face in the supermax penitentiary in Colorado, sometimes called the ADX, where he is likely to go if the jury sentenced him to life in prison. William Weinreb, the lead prosecutor, told the judge in a sidebar that the prison conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face might be the most crucial factor weighed by the jury. “The jury cares a lot about this,” Mr. Weinreb said, according to a transcript. “We’re talking about maybe the most important thing for them.”

Question: Who ended her career at 23?

But Amanda Kessel, a leading scorer for the Americans in Sochi and the college player of the year in 2013, has not played since, ending her career at Minnesota at 23 because of lingering symptoms from a concussion sustained before the Olympics. Her teammate Josephine Pucci retired over the summer at 24, cognizant of her concussion history. A concussion kept Canada’s Haley Irwin out until the Olympic tournament’s semifinals. She assisted on the tying goal in the last minute of the final, but her symptoms returned after the Olympics. Another concussion, in January, has kept her from playing professionally in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League.

Question: Where were the residents and for how long?

The funeral, which lasted just under an hour, was the brisk culmination of a day and a half of heartbreak. Residents of Midwood cloistered in their homes and synagogues during the Sabbath, from nightfall on Friday to nightfall on Saturday, recalling a band of conscientious children they had seen rushing to synagogue and building snowmen in the yard. On Sunday the mourners emerged, following the voice of a father who was away at a religious retreat when the fire broke out. Given the Sabbath prohibition on electronic communication, he did not learn what had happened until several hours later, when Police Department detectives found him at a synagogue in Manhattan.

Question: What is the name of Morgan Stanley's chairman and chief executive?

In an informal poll of the audience at The New York Times DealBook conference at the Whitney Museum on Tuesday, more than half of the respondents said Wall Street banks were no more or less trustworthy than they were in 2008, when the financial crisis erupted, sending the global financial markets in to a tailspin. There remains an illusion — on Wall Street and beyond — that only a small pool of talent is capable of working on Wall Street, said James P. Gorman, Morgan Stanley’s chairman and chief executive, who spoke in the morning at the conference about the future of finance.

Question: which friends were at the social gathering?

Imagine a day in the life of the Pope family at Hill-Stead, their 33,000-square-foot, white clapboard, Colonial Revival-style home perched on a hilltop in Farmington. Perhaps they served lunch in their expansive dining room to a gathering of friends that included James McNeill Whistler, Mary Cassatt, Henry James, Edith Wharton and President Theodore Roosevelt. Maybe they retired to the drawing room, where, surrounded by Impressionist masterpieces, they enjoyed a concert performed on a custom-designed, six-legged Steinway grand piano. After that, they might have headed out for a round of golf on the six-hole course on the grounds, or taken a stroll along one of the paths that meandered through the picturesque farmland and vistas of the Litchfield Hills.

Perhaps they served lunch in their expansive dining room to a gathering of friends that included <hl> James McNeill Whistler <hl> , Mary Cassatt, Henry James, Edith Wharton and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Question: Which round of the draft was Tyus Jones eventually taken in?

Even before last season, the notion that Krzyzewski eschewed one-and-dones for upperclassmen was obviously untrue. But whatever was left of it was interred by the 2014-15 Blue Devils, who won a national title on the backs of four freshmen, three of whom — Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones — promptly declared for the N.B.A. draft and were selected in its first round. In the title game, they and Grayson Allen, then a freshman, scored 60 of Duke’s 68 points, including all 37 in the second half. “The ability to adapt is key in everything,” Krzyzewski said immediately after that victory. “I think I’ve adapted well.”

Question: When did she flee Europe?

A friend of mine inherited a Bavarian coffee set from her maternal great-grandmother, a woman who fled Europe in the late 1930s, carrying little more than the purpose-built, velvet-lined case that still holds it. That family is scattered across the globe and the way of life the coffee set embodied has vanished, but the dainty china pot and matching cups remain flawless. Porcelain is like that. We all know that the sweep of a careless elbow can shatter it into unmendable bits. But take some basic precautions and in a hundred years it will look as good as new — its colors undimmed, its whites snowy — after you and your children are dead and gone. It is fragile, and it is strong.

Question: Who writes about the Pakistanis?

At the same time, Mr. Hamid points out, he’s made “an attempt at optimism,” however forced and possibly misguided — so fervent is his belief that “Pakistan is a test bed for pluralism on a globalizing planet that desperately needs more pluralism.” Although he writes that Pakistanis have often been their “own worst enemies,” he says that he’s never believed the role the country frequently “plays as a villain on news shows”: “The Pakistan I knew was the out-of-character Pakistan, Pakistan without its makeup and plastic fangs, a working actor with worn-out shoes, a close family and a hearty laugh.” Despite its inclusion on lists of failing states, he goes on, Pakistan is “not a basket case,” arguing in one essay that “it has well-established political parties, noisy private media, and an independent-minded supreme court.”

Question: Who does Mr. Rylance have two current film projects with?

Mr. Rylance, who has won three Tony Awards, has done relatively little film or television work and isn’t well-known to a broader audience. (That might change after “Wolf Hall” and two current film projects with Steven Spielberg — “The BFG” and “Bridge of Spies.”) But Mr. Callender and his fellow producers weren’t deterred. “Most actors can do one or two things at the same time; great actors can do several things at the same time; Mark Rylance can do hundreds of things at the same time,” he said. “He has one of those faces that can tell a thousand stories.” So sure was Mr. Callender that Mr. Rylance was the right choice that he persuaded the BBC to wait a year while the actor performed in repertory productions of “Twelfth Night” and “Richard III” that played in the West End and on Broadway.

Question: Why do some players hide concussion symptoms?

Head injuries can also occur through unintended collisions, which were the leading cause of concussions in the I.I.H.F. study. During a practice drill in 2010, Minnesota goalie Alyssa Grogan dived for a poke check, and a player fell and kneed her in the forehead while another landed on the back of her head. It was her first concussion, but she was forced to retire and missed three semesters at the university. Even after multiple concussions, leaving the game can be difficult. Despite new professional opportunities, options are limited after college. Participation in the Olympics can lead to thousands of dollars in performance bonuses. Some players hide symptoms to prolong their careers.

Question: What did the report say made little sense?

Jason Hill, who studies bioenergy at the University of Minnesota, was not involved in the World Resources Institute report, but reviewed it at the request of The Times. He endorsed some of its conclusions, particularly the idea that turning food crops into fuel makes little sense. “It’s true that our first-generation biofuels have not lived up to their promise,” Dr. Hill said. “We’ve found they do not offer the environmental benefits they were purported to have, and they have a substantial negative impact on the food system.” However, Dr. Hill was more bullish than Mr. Searchinger on the potential for newer types of biofuels made from crops planted specifically for that purpose. Their potential environmental and economic benefits are not yet clear, and governments would be acting prematurely if they were to abandon research on them, Dr. Hill said, though he also doubted that they could ever supply any large fraction of global fuel demand.

Question: Where does Clinton's patient spending cap require that drug makers allot some of their profit?

While Republican candidates for the White House want to repeal the Affordable Care Act and generally oppose interfering with the drug industry, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders are competing fiercely with each other to press for greater competition and new regulations to rein in pharmaceutical companies. Mrs. Clinton announced her patient spending cap as part of a plan that includes requiring most drug makers to spend a defined portion of their profits on research and development, ending tax breaks for pharmaceutical advertising and allowing Americans to import lower-priced drugs from other countries. “It has gotten to the point where people are being asked to pay not just hundreds but thousands of dollars for a single pill,” said Mrs. Clinton, who laid out her proposals at a forum in Iowa, where she and Mr. Sanders are running closely in opinion polls for the first-in-the-nation caucuses. “That is not the way the market is supposed to work. That is bad actors making a fortune off of people’s misfortune.” Even before Mrs. Clinton spoke, Mr. Sanders issued a statement reiterating his proposals, made early this month, including letting people buy drugs from Canada and allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies over prices (which is also in her plan). He also noted that he has backed medication purchases from Canada since 1999, before Mrs. Clinton joined the Senate.

Question: Who is seizing on the trend of Adult coloring books?

Major publishers are seizing on the trend. This year, Little, Brown will release four illustrated coloring books for adults, all subtitled “Color Your Way to Calm.” The books, “Splendid Cities” by the British artists Rosie Goodwin and Alice Chadwick and three titles by the French illustrator Zoé de Las Cases, feature detailed cityscapes with famous landmarks, cafes and street life. Promotional materials for the books emphasize the health benefits of “mindful coloring,” noting that the activity “has been shown to be a stress reliever for adults.”

Question: Who is quoted as saying "I have never wanted to write about anybody who did not want to be written about?"

Ross has said she writes only about people she likes. In her introduction to “Reporting Always,” she elaborates on this reportorial ethos: “I have never wanted to write about anybody who did not want to be written about.” She writes “only what can be observed, what I see and hear and never what the subject might be ‘thinking.’ ” Ross’s respect and fondness for her subjects does not drain her profiles of acuity. A default tone of light irony offers a built-in distance. And naturally a point of view is implicit in Ross’s choice of focus and her selection of details. She has a knack for locating the peripheral actor — the bartender at a gathering of Beat writers, the balloon salesman at a society function — who makes a tableau snap into focus. But where exactly Ross stands in relation to her material is generally impossible to confirm. Hemingway loved her article on him, even though others told him he ought to have been offended by the way Ross captured his stagy sportsman’s shtick.

Question: What is located in Dallas?

Black-and-white images depict daily life — families around the breakfast table, a mother holding an infant, men and women heading off to work — as Mrs. Clinton reminds voters they are “not just electing a president, but a commander in chief.” Photos show her flanked by military officers, and descending alone from her Air Force jet as secretary of state, as she can be heard, as a candidate, emphasizing the need to be “both secure at home and leading the world.” Only when she is finally shown delivering the speech, at Mountain View College in Dallas in mid-November, does the black-and-white give way to full color.

Question: How much space does the center have available?

Mark Lubell, the center’s executive director, said architects would soon begin remaking the space, which has more than 5,000 square feet for exhibitions on two floors, into raw, airy galleries with a continuous glass front along the Bowery. He said he believes the connection to the street — along with a cafe and screens beaming out images from the center’s programming — will telegraph the institution’s intention to become a hub for conversations about the increasingly complex way pictures circulate and function in the digital age. “It’s going to be a big challenge to think about what an exhibition will even mean in that context,” Mr. Lubell said. By New York museum standards, the turnaround time for the new space is whiplash fast, but Mr. Lubell said that he hoped the center would become known for such nimbleness. “We don’t know everything yet, which is a little discomforting for some people,” he said, “but we’re figuring it out together.”

Question: What do banks still need to do?

Banks still need to shrink, though. Some European groups need to cut gross assets. And regulators may introduce floors for risk weighting, pushing up demands for equity. So assume that capital allocated to investment banking rises about 5 percent a year. That leaves costs. Though compliance expenses are still rising, banks should be able to trim more fat elsewhere. Cutting operating expenses by 2 percent a year should be possible for most banks. Steering clear of new legal entanglements may be beyond some firms. Volatile markets could also leave some nursing unexpected losses. It’s also true that most banks keep extra capital at the group level, which can flatter the true state of divisional return on equity. Even so, a bit of discipline could help investment banks pay their way again –— and not before time.

Answer: shrink

Banks still need to shrink , though.

<hl> Banks still need to shrink , though. <hl> Some European groups need to cut gross assets. And regulators may introduce floors for risk weighting, pushing up demands for equity. So assume that capital allocated to investment banking rises about 5 percent a year. That leaves costs. Though compliance expenses are still rising, banks should be able to trim more fat elsewhere. Cutting operating expenses by 2 percent a year should be possible for most banks. Steering clear of new legal entanglements may be beyond some firms. Volatile markets could also leave some nursing unexpected losses. It’s also true that most banks keep extra capital at the group level, which can flatter the true state of divisional return on equity. Even so, a bit of discipline could help investment banks pay their way again –— and not before time.

Question: Which 3 department studies does David J. Leonard act as professor and chairman?

David J. Leonard, an associate professor and chairman of the department of critical culture, gender and race studies at Washington State University, said that despite highly publicized cases like the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, many questionable deaths of minorities still received little attention. “There are countless other cases involving African-Americans in the past year that have not received coverage anywhere near the level of Zachary Hammond,” Professor Leonard said. Yet he said much of the attention the Hammond case received on Twitter was spurred by Black Lives Matter activists.

Question: Who is the president of the New York real estate board?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G. Skelos, the Republican majority leader in the Senate. Both the 44-year-old 421-a housing program and the rent stabilization law, which governs rents for one million apartments in New York City, are set to expire on June 15.

Question: where is the location with the highest accident prediction avenue?

The location with the highest accident prediction value in the country is in Ashdown, Ark. — a freight railroad crossing that has been the site of 19 accidents since 1975. There are no warning lights or gates at the crossing. The site of the Metro-North crash, a less traveled crossing in Valhalla, N.Y., where the last accident was a fatal collision in 1984, is rated nowhere near as dangerous but is still in the top fifth of the most potentially hazardous crossings in the New York City region. Several factors make the mix of trains and humans in the region more dangerous than elsewhere. Commuter trains travel through densely populated areas at speeds as high as 80 miles per hour. The freight trains that dominate the tracks in other parts of the country travel much slower through towns, often just 10 m.p.h. The commuter rail lines in the region bear more trains each day than many freight train crossings elsewhere see in a month. But some of the crossings The Times examined have problems that safety experts say can increase the chances of a collision, like roads and tracks meeting at harsh angles and traffic signals in proximity that, in heavy traffic, can contribute to drivers’ getting stuck on the tracks.

Question: Who visited Washington to solidify the new relationship?

WASHINGTON — After more than two years of perceived slights and supposed snubs, the new contours of a revitalized but evolving partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia are beginning to take shape. This month’s visit to Washington by King Salman solidified the defense and security aspects of this new version of an old relationship. The Saudis are also strongly pushing an economic agenda as the centerpiece of what King Salman identified as a “new strategic alliance for the 21st century.” Last May, when President Obama hosted leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council for a summit meeting at Camp David, the Saudi monarch was conspicuously absent. The talk then of a “snub” missed two crucial points. First, the Saudis were trying to ensure that the Camp David meeting was the beginning, not the end, of a new conversation. Second, King Salman did not want to share center stage in his first major trip abroad as king with figures like the deputy prime minister of Oman.

Question: Where did they have protests?

And yet the tragedy here is too vast, too diffuse, to be coated with a hard shell of spending. Look out Brookfield’s front window and see, clumped together across the street, One World Trade Center, which one recent afternoon was half-cloaked in spooky fog, eerily telegraphing impermanence; Santiago Calatrava’s bird, which would look majestic were it not beset at each side by new development; and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. It is a chaos of remembrance, competitive and dense. And magnetic to visitors, or marks waiting to be pickpocketed the late-capitalist way: a mall. Even if you view Brookfield Place ahistorically, it is a shrugworthy set of stores, not much more inspiring than what you would find in Terminal 4 at Kennedy Airport. The product mix leans heavily on shoes, handbags and other accessories: luxury purchase as trauma-porn memento. Mostly it exists as an argument that capitalism is the safest space. As long as we protect it, almost any pain can be shouted down. (Any doubts about the mall as a site of political meaning need look no further than recent Black Lives Matter protests that have targeted shopping centers.)

Question: How is spiritual striving expressed?

The routines are all out of shape, truncated where they should be developed further, extended way past where they should end. The performers’ impressive specialty steps — the flips, the windmills, the head spins and backspins — are sprinkled indiscriminately, losing the force they might have had. Even the dancers’ smiles are clumsy. At first I thought their bizarrely clownish grins were some comment on falsity or cultural assimilation; then I decided they were actually a misguided effort to play to the children. The show is a string of unrealized ideas. Spiritual striving is expressed not through dance but through slow-motion walking toward a video backdrop of heavenly clouds. A snatch of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” teases with a hint of nostalgic pleasure; what follows instead are performers in fright masks doing power moves in front of images of war and of the twin towers burning. Hip-hop dance can successfully address such heavy subject matter, but not like this.

Question: Where did Amelie Wisniak move to after Paris?

After Amelie Wisniak moved to Manhattan from Paris four years ago, a friend told her, “Never leave the island” — Manhattan was the epicenter. At first Ms. Wisniak, an entrepreneur and a founder of SportChaser, a search engine that connects sports fans to bars, heeded that advice — “I never went to Brooklyn,” she said. But she and her boyfriend, Pascal Greilich, a software developer, could not afford to buy the kind of apartment they wanted in Manhattan and grew tired of spending $2,250 a month on rent for a one-bedroom in Hell’s Kitchen. So the couple expanded their horizons, specifically to Clinton Hill, in north-central Brooklyn. They paid $995,000 for a two-bedroom two-bath condominium built in 2007.

Question: Where does Avner Pinchuk work?

Mr. Shalabi’s lawyer, Tariq Bargouth, said the basis for the conviction and punishment never established that Mr. Shalabi’s posts had encouraged any specific militant attack. There have been a series of so-called lone-wolf attacks in Jerusalem, in which Palestinian men, without any political backing or leadership, attack Israeli civilians or security officers. Avner Pinchuk, a lawyer with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, which follows freedom of speech cases, said it was the first time he had heard that “incitement to terror in social media concluded in jail.” Majd Kayyal, the media coordinator for Adalah, an organization that pursues the legal rights of Palestinians in Israel, accused security services of a double standard, saying they had not cracked down on Israeli Jews for incitement to violence online. He said his organization had tracked officials from the police and ambulance services who had encouraged violence against Palestinians on their Facebook pages, without punishment. Mr. Kayyal said he also feared government officials were using the word “incitement” too loosely, saying they had to “prove a relation between what was written, and an incident that happened in reality.”
