Adloyada points out that BBC calls it terror when it hits the UK

:

Now, let’s see… violent politicised Islamists are out to kidnap and kill a soldier from what they see as an occupying army…

So if it was Hamas or Islamic Jihad out to get an Israeli soldier, we could rely on the BBC to refer to “militants” “seizing” a soldier.

For example, way back last July we had:

      Cpl Gilad Shalit was seized by Palestinian militants

      in an attack on an Israeli border post on Sunday

Do read the rest. Personally, I haven’t seen enough references to terror on the BBC with regard to this deranged nutter plot, but it does indeed highlight the BBC’s double-standards elsewhere, including their long troubling description of the kidnapping and disappearance of Israeli soldiers by armed invaders as them being ‘captured’ by ‘militants’.

There was similar evidence of BBC hypocrisy over the kidnap and evil murder of Ken Bigley and his two American colleagues. On the BBC the murder of Bigley was generally reported as murder, whereas the murders of the two Americans were generally reported as ‘killings’.
