Mavi Marmara in the New York Times

You can search it: this is the standard reference to the Israeli terrorist attack on civilians on Mavi Marmara in the New York Times:  "Nine activists were killed as Israeli commandos met with violent resistance as they landed on the deck."  Violent resistance.  Imagine if a family were to resist an attack on their home by a group of terrorists, would the New York Times write: A Family Violently resisted an attack by armed robbers on their home.
