Israel Shelling Hits Palestinian Aid Office, Kills 5 Refugees, Injures 10

If the news story was that Israeli Shelling Hits Palestinian Aid Office, Kills 5 Refugees, Injures 10, then the institutionally anti Israel BBC would be headlining the story, the anti Israel United Nations would be proposing resolutions and the human rights groups would be screaming their disapproval and marching on Israeli embassies. 

However the story is actually that:
'Shelling from Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces hit an international humanitarian aid office in Yemen on Thursday, killing five Ethiopian refugees and wounding 10, a local official said. The news comes amid growing concern about the Saudi-led military offensive's impact on Yemen's civilians and infrastructure.'
So the BBC will mention this story very sotto voce, the United Nations will ignore and the human rights organisations will wait until Israel does anything that isn't 100% in accord with their world view.
