I don't think you can claim that the Reuters writers were equally pleased to see another suicide bombing or Hamas leader killed Generally, the Reuters writers are better pleased to see Hamas do a bombing than to see the Israelis kill a Hamas leader. Reports of Israel killing a Hamas leader are always disapproving, with ready quotes from Hamas promising rivers of blood and disparagement from some diplomat who calls it counterproductive. They never say, "gosh, the Israelis showed them" the way they just said it about the Hamas. The reason that I spoke of reporter's neutrality between the criminals and the police is that reporters generally don't show neutrality, being supposed to be on the side of society in general, and not on the side of psycopaths. If reporters in NZ pride themselves on being completely amoral then they are a different breed than American reporters, even if the pretenses lean the same way. There is a very serious question here, whether Hamas's techniques are to be regarded as war crimes or as perfectly legitimate. Reuters has long ago voted for 'perfectly legitimate'.
