They are certainly reporting it as just another territorial conflict between tribes. It's as legitimate as the Twin Towers destruction; I don't know how Reuters reported that

I don't remember Reuters specifically then. Generally, Reuters has been rather admiring of the jihadis, certainly more admiring than disparaging.

The maddening thing is that to report on the Israeli/Pal conflict as just a conflict between tribes, one no different than the other, as Reuters does, is to ignore the civilized self-restraint (and make no mistake, it is chiefly self-restraint) that prevents the Israelis doing to the Palestinians what the Palestinians would do to the Israelis in a New York minute if the power positions were reversed.
