This is another classic headline from the Washington Post: "Mideast Deaths Mount as Attacks Intensify." Notice how the victims of Israeli bombing are made to be unidentified. They are just generally "Mideast". They could be Arab, or they could be Israeli, or they could be equally Arab and Israeli as the US media imply. This is like the that dreaded term "cycle of violence." And notice that this term is never used when Arabs commit an act of violence, but is exclusively used when Israel commits acts of violence in order to switch the blame.
