Israeli terrorists and anguish

I have written about this many times before: how the word "anguish" accompany articles dealing with crimes by the Israeli army.  It is a staple of American media coverage of Israeli war crimes over the years. This invocation of the word is intended to turn the killers into victims, and it was a matter of time before the word started popping up in coverage of this war on Gaza. And what is with this anguish business? And how come Palestinians no matter what they go through they never feel anguish?  Why is it a characteristic of the Jews of the Middle East only? How come Muslims and Christians in the region don't feel anguish? Just do a google search of the word "anguish" and Israel and see the results and then combine the search with the word "Palestinians".   And did the kidnapping of hundreds of Palestinians by the Israeli terrorist army over the last several weeks provoke anguish among Palestinians?  (thanks James)
