Imagine if the Associated Press blamed the civil war in Libya on the rebels. The whole edifice of Israeli occupation is constructed on overwhelming violence yet AP sets up the sequence as Palestinian violence leading to Israeli reprisals:
Two years of relative calm have been unraveling in recent weeks with acts of violence against Israelis…
The rising wave of violence has been the fiercest since Israel went to war in Hamas-ruled Gaza more than two years ago to try to curb years of frequent rocket attacks….
The violently anti-Israel Hamas movement that rules Gaza has largely honored an unofficial truce since then.
