Read this Reuters article about the family of the Palestinian woman who murdered two Israeli men in a suicide terror attack. Here's how it begins:
Relatives of Zeinab Abu Salem had little time to absorb the shock after the 18-year-old blew herself up in a suicide attack in Jerusalem.They rushed instead to empty the family home in the Palestinian refugee camp of Askar near the West Bank city of Nablus, expecting Israeli bulldozers to soon come to demolish it.
Reading the entire article, one would conclude that the woman came from a poverty-stricken family (thus supporting the myth that poverty breeds terror). However, as it turns out, Zeinab Abu Salem's family is quite wealthy: she was the hostess of a children's program at a TV station owned by her family.
You'd never know that by reading Reuters dispatches, though. And, as Best of the Web observes, Reuters can't spare any sympathy for the families of the two murdered men.
