BBC versus the JPost

Reporting the actions of passengers in a sherut to apprehend the 23 year old terrorist-murderer who was busy stabbing them:

The Jerusalem Post describes the scene:
Eli Haziza, 64, who works at the Caniel Israel Can Company factory next door, took a big wooden stick and smacked the terrorist in the leg, sending the knife flying. Three passersby then surrounded the stabber and restrained him.
The BBC version:
People grabbed him and started to beat him up.

Poor little Palestinian murderer, those big bad Israelis won't leave him alone! How brutal of them! Moreover, we should be multiculturtal - in his culture it is acceptable, even comendable to kill Jews. Who are we to judge the Palestinian murderer? Jdging that would be culturally insensitive. We wouldn't want that, would we? Better to end up with a severed threat than to insult cultural sensitivity.

Here I give an example for what Ha'aretz typically is:

1. Phrase from Ha'aretz regading AEL, the Belgian Islamic organization:

"The AEL espouses nonviolence, but has gained a reputation for extremist views and opposes Muslims integrating with non-Muslims."

@. Reaction from a Belgian reader on the Ha'aretz website:

"Title: Background information for HAARETZ journalists and readers 1
Name: Pieter the Belgian
City: State:

"The AEL espouses nonviolence". This is absolutely false. The AEL is known as an organisation fomenting trouble and violence in Belgium. In the past, the AEL has staged anti-Israeli protests without permission from the authorities, at which Arabs chanted support for Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the city centre of Antwerp, burning Jewish effigies in public, beating up passers by, smashing shop windows, and attacking the police protecting the streets. AEL was also involved in other violent demonstrations, against society at large. Belgium`s Prime Minister described the AEL in Parliament as a kind of militia, wanting to take control over the streets instead of the police, in order to conduct criminal activities."
