From opinionjournal.com: No Terror in Reuterville Consider this Reuters dispatch from Jerusalem: Israel pledged to leave no stone unturned to halt a "campaign of terror" against it after a suspected suicide bomber killed at least 12 people in the port city of Haifa Sunday. Why the scare quotes around campaign of terror? It's Reuters being "evenhanded" again. But can anyone really claim the Palestinian Arabs aren't waging a campaign of terror against Israel? Here's a roundup of the attacks since Friday afternoon: A bomb at an Arab-managed restaurant killed 14 in Haifa yesterday. A Palestinian terrorist blew up a coffee shop in Tel Aviv Saturday night, wounding 30. A member of Arafat's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade shot and killed an Israeli border guard in Baka al-Garbiyeh Saturday. A suicide bomber in the West Bank city of Efrat blew himself up outside an emergency room yesterday, injuring four. David Bedein notes that this attack "was directed against the medical services that Arabs receive from private Jewish funds." A Palestinian sniper in Bethlehem killed an Israeli in Jerusalem this afternoon. A car bomb hit Jerusalem this evening; details are still sketchy. Now, let's go back to that Reuters dispatch, which concludes as follows: The blast occurred as the Israeli army battled Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's security forces outside his West Bank offices and was part of a major surge in violence since a Palestinian uprising against occupation began 18 months ago. Why no quotation marks around Palestinian 'uprising against occupation'? Reuters, it seems, is evenhanded only when it is at the expense of the Jews.
