Ethan Bronner and his standards

Look at this passage: "The payoff from the use of force in the struggle between Israel and the Palestinians is evident. It was only after the first Palestinian uprising in the late 1980s that Israel recognized the Palestine Liberation Organization and started to consider a two-state solution, and after the second — and very bloody — uprising that it left Gaza in 2005. Meanwhile for many Israelis, the past decade looks like a model of the primacy of military action over diplomacy." Palestinian violence is referred to as force and "bloody", while Israeli violence is referred to as "military action."
