Different terrorists

Re the Oct. 2 article Israel sends troops after settler couple killed in West Bank: Palestinian terrorists attacked and killed parents, leaving four orphaned children.

This hardly makes the news or causes world condemnation. Yet, ISIS is universally called out as an evil entity that must be destroyed. I don’t get the incongruous response to Palestinian and ISIS terror against the most innocent of society.

Perhaps, if ISIS focused its attack on Israel and Jews, it would also be seen as a group of mere freedom fighters or radicals, and hence ignored by headline news.
