The latter headlines portray the recent Gaza bombing by two different sources; one from the Arab region and one from Israel. The bias in the word choice of the headlines and the headline itself is clear since in the 1st headline, there is an emphasis on the ‘no injuries’ aspect of the event while in the second one there’s emphasis on Israel initiating the attack, yet later on in the article they mentioned that there are ‘no casualities’.
Moreover, as publicly known the Israeli journalists portray palestinians as the ‘common enemy’ therefore the selection was biased towards writing about the attack launched by ‘Hamas’; on the other hand, Arab news has shed light on the attack launched by ‘Israeli warplanes’. Bias by selection, common enemy and placement
