The recent terror attacks in the US escalated as the war against Iran and Hezbollah came home to America. The attacks occurred at a college in Virginia and a synagogue in Michigan, where both attackers were Muslim immigrants who had previously served seven years in federal prison for their suspected ties to Islamic State terrorists. The only fatality at the Michigan synagogue was the attacker, Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, who had been on law enforcement's radar since 2019 for possible connections to Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. The New York Times's coverage of the synagogue attack was criticized as bias and misleads the reader about a possible motive. The Times's focus is on the war being waged by America and Israel, which is seen as a failure.
