More BBC bias on Israel

The BBC just cannot help themselves. This is a headline from a page in their Middle East section, the headline is "Three dead in Mid-East violence".
The story if one reads on, and remember many just scan the headlines, continues "Two Palestinians infiltrated a Jewish settlement in the West Bank and attacked students at a religious school before being shot dead, police say."
Once again that "police say" to insinuate that this is according to the Israeli police and therefore probably lies.

The article continues "Witnesses said the two men, who were disguised as Israeli soldiers, managed to stab two students in Kfar Etzion, near Bethlehem, before being killed.".
So they died after they dressed as Israeli soldiers and stabbed two students.

The article continues "In a separate attack, an Israeli border policeman was shot dead by Palestinian gunmen on the outskirts of Jerusalem. A female colleague of the officer was also wounded in the incident at a checkpoint close to the Shuafat refugee camp."
So here we have an Israeli policeman killed and another one wounded.


Let's return to examine the headline "Three dead in Mid-East violence". In fact this is not a story of tit for tat violence, it is two stories. One of two Palestinians dressing as Israeli soldiers and stabbing two students before being shot by Israeli forces and another of Palestinian gunmen shooting dead one Israeli policeman and injuring another. It seems to me that in both cases the cause was Palestinian aggression, perhaps the BBC would like to comment?


UPDATE:
I have been informed that "The two terrorists who were killed Thursday evening after breaking into a yeshiva in the settlement of Kfar Etzion were released from an Israeli prison last week, Palestinian sources in Hebron told Ynet."
