An RT article has the headline 11yo Jewish girl critically injured as firebomb hits West Bank settlers.
A caption under a phot in the article reads, "Jewish settler children walk together after leaving school in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Bat Ayin, south of Bethlehem."
After detailing the attack, the article goes on to dig up incidents of Palestinian children being hit by rubber and sponge bullets, without mentioning that the incidents took place amongst clashes between the two sides.
Two articles describing the same incident, but with two very different perspectives.
