When Hamas rockets Israel, the UK Telegraph reports it in a just-the-facts fashion:
Nine people killed by rocket attack on Haifa
That's just news, according to the Telegraph. The Telegraph isn't opposing the attacks, just reporting them. (Which in itself is shocking enough, given that the stories report that the targets were a kindergarten and other civilian locations.)
But when Israel attacks Hamas, all of a sudden the Telegraph condemns it:
The article even reports that Israel targeted Hamas soldiers, rather than civilians:
The three strikes were aimed at Hamas targets: a compound used by its bodyguards, a car carrying senior commanders and a trailer used by the Islamic group. A senior Hamas official is said to be among the dead.
The Telegraph's hypocrisy is outweighed by the evil it commits by condemning Israel for killing the soldiers who are rocketing Israeli civilians - and by not condemning Hamas for intentionally rocketing a kindergarten.
