Imagine the Headlines
The LA Times reports the latest horror from Gaza. Imagine the headlines if Israel were responsible for an attack like this:
Three young sons of a senior Palestinian intelligence officer and their driver were killed today by gunmen on a street crowded with schoolchildren in an attack that could ignite fighting between Palestinian factions.
Witnesses said at least two gunmen emerged from a car and opened fire with Kalashnikov rifles after blocking the vehicle carrying the children of intelligence officer Baha Balousheh, a loyalist of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The boys, ages 6, 7 and 9, died along with their 25-year-old driver. At least four bystanders were wounded in the 6:15 a.m. attack, hospital officials said.
As shots rang out, children on the street, which is lined with several schools, dropped to the ground or fled screaming, witnesses said.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when there are casualties due to an IDF operation the news is usually plastered with images of bload-soaked bodies, guided tours of the hospitals/morgues.....I don't see that in this instance (print media).
