Further to the end of this complaint I note that in this Today excerpt the BBC refer to the people who killed seven Israeli civilians as 'attackers'. Oddly in the accompanying audio Mark Regev clearly calls them what they are - 'terrorists'.
I also note that the BBC simply state that the 'attackers...killed seven people'. I wonder if these had been Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers if the BBC might have worded it rather differently bearing in mind the age of some of the dead?
It is interesting to note that Hamas themselves view the dead as 'six Israeli soldiers' killed by 'militants'. This is before the death toll rose.
I then turned to the latest BBC article about the attacks and found no description of the Israeli dead. I am sure that if Palestinian civilians had been killed by Israeli soldiers then the BBC report would include the ages of the dead, their names and details of the grieving relatives. But as these are just Jewish Israelis who have been killed the BBC just don't even pretend to care.
