Favoring the Palestinians

I am continually amazed at the bias in so many quarters that gives the Palestinians a pass on their frequent animal behavior, while castigating Israelis if they even raise a hand to defend themselves against attack.

The whole security fence fiasco is an excellent example. But even more basic is the utter silence we hear from our media when the Palestinians execute "collaborators." That's probably the saddest thing of all: the media regale us with the tales of the innocent Israelis killed by the monsters of Hamas, Fatah, and the PLO, since blowing up buses is, to our international journalists, a suitable means of "expression" -- but we never hear of the innocent Palestinians murdered by those bold "freedom fighters," because that information might just be enough to show the world what swine the Palestinian "armed resistance" is made up of.

Power Line details the latest such episode; unfortunately, while this one may get a bit more attention, it's hardly unique.
