The day-by-day account on the BBC website makes clear their total sympathy for the terrorists….

But compare both the Pakistani military response and the media response to it. No pussy footing around like the Israelis to ensure no-one was killed. A massive assault with tanks and multiple bombs resulting in many dozens dead despite many women and children being in the compound. And the media reaction? Total sympathy with the Pakistani military action such as on the very same BBC news website.

Anyone for a double standard?

Imagine the headlines if Israel had actually stormed the Bethlehem church and killed 50 fugitives.
