Palestinian Terrorists Murder Jewish Civilian

It was a Palestinian killing an Israeli. That is how WaPo and the MSM continue to frame the debate in their headlines.

It's only as you read the story that you realize that:

a) two terror organizations claim the attack
b) the attack deliberately targetted civilians, no apologies
c) one of the organizations is part of the ruling party of Palestine

When the Isralis hit civilians

a) it is usually on accident
b) sometimes it is because those civilians really aren't civilians, or they are acting as human shields for terrorists
c) in either case, the Israelis apologize

Equivocation.

WaPo:

A Palestinian rocket fired from Gaza exploded near the home of Israel's defense minister on Wednesday, killing one woman and raising the prospect of a new Israeli military offensive against militant rocket squads.

Militants affiliated with the Palestinians' ruling Hamas group and Islamic Jihad both claimed responsibility for the first deadly rocket attack from Gaza since Israel withdrew in September 2005. They said the rocket fire was meant to avenge the deaths of 19 civilians killed last week in an Israeli shelling in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun.

Verbal caricature quips:
I’m giving Reuters, AP, and AFP 2 days to come up with 17 photos (300 divided by 18) of the funeral and the damage caused by the rocket.
UPDATE: What he said:
the press is never interested in covering the suffering of Israelis, as it doesn't jibe with their pre-canned, completely idiotic "David vs. Goliath" storyline.
