The media routinely plays up civilian casualties in any Israeli air strike. But as the headlines show the game is played very differently when Islamic terrorist attacks kill children.

The New York Times keeps it ambiguous while MSNBC manages to front load claims of an “Israeli occupation” in the attack.
