A sample of the mainstream Western press bias

.
From a friend's email:

"Here's a tiny snippet, emblematic of the larger issue of how pressure from the pro-Israel lobby constantly, and subtly, intimidates the mainstream Western press.

"Pre-state Jewish activist known for assassination

Yehoshua Zettler was one of the founding members of a violent pre-state Jewish movement and mastermind of the assassination of a top United Nations envoy in 1948.
....
He was most known for planning the assassination of UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in Jerusalem in September 1948, who had angered Jewish radicals by suggesting that the boundaries of a 1947 UN partition plan be revised to put Jerusalem under UN control and hand Israel's Negev desert to Jordan".

Note how he is described as an "activist".

Let me ask you -- if for example, as in the tragic case of Mr. Sergio Vieria De Mello, with anyone else deliberately staging the assassination of a U.N. official in the Middle East, because that side in a regional conflict didn't like the position that they thought he had recommended to the United Nations; what, do you suppose, the Western mainstream newspapers would call him?

Let me give you some help : they'd call him a "te_ro_is_". (Fill in the blanks yourself.)

But I guess if he's a member of the Stern Gang and he murders U.N. officials, well, then, he's just an "activist"... right?"
