The BBC just spew bias

A suicide bomber blows themselves and an Israeli up whilst a second bomber is shot dead before he could explode himself. So what's the BBC headline? Take a look here and you will see that it is "Rare suicide bombing hits Israel". Where does the word "rare" come from? Why is the word "rare" used here? What are the BBC trying to suggest, that this is so unusual because most of Hamas and Fatah just want to live peacefully with Israel.



The BBC article ends "Israel was pummelled by series of suicide bombings in the 1990s and 2000s, peaking after the Palestinian intifada or uprising broke out in 2000.

However, there were only two such attacks between April 2006 and now, the last being in January 2007 when a bomber blew himself up in a bakery in Eilat, killing three people.

Monday's blast is also the first since renewed efforts to come to an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal were launched with US support last November.

Israel argues that its blockade of about four million Palestinians in Gaza and large parts of the occupied West Bank is necessary to prevent such attacks. "


I wonder why the number of successful suicide bombers is down, could it be to be with the installation of the barrier between Israel and Gaza? The wall that the BBC do their best to vilify whilst ignoring, until they had to recognise it, the barrier between Egypt and Gaza.
