The late American comedian George Carlin once asked, "Why do they call Palestinian commandos terrorists, and Israeli terrorists commandos?"
Maybe Fairfax's Middle East correspondent Jason Koutsoukis - who described the Israeli terrorists who shot dead 9 unarmed aid workers on the Mavi Marmara as "commandos"* and the Palestinian commandos who shot dead 4 illegal (and presumably armed) Jewish settlers near Hebron as "terrorists"** - needs to ask himself this question.
