When the state of Israel employs a policy of oppression against Palestinians, it is not regarded as “Jewish” violence.  When Serbia committed genocide against Bosnians and other Muslims in the Balkans, it was not regarded as a “Christian” aggression.  In both examples, groups and states invoke their defense of religion and of their national identity to justify violence.  Hence, there is a double standard when reporting on violence.
