A Fox News opinion piece condemns masked settlers who ambushed an NBC News crew and Palestinians in the West Bank village of Jalud, calling it an indefensible criminal act, while arguing that global media coverage of such incidents is disproportionate and fuels anti-Israel sentiment. The author contends that as the Gaza war has wound down, international newsrooms have shifted focus to the West Bank, giving extensive attention to isolated acts of extremist violence by a small fringe while ignoring far greater violence against Palestinians and Israelis alike, distorting public perception and feeding hostility towards Jews generally.

The piece notes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the Jalud attack as a "criminal act of violence" by "a handful of rioters," with security forces confiscating three vehicles and opening an investigation. It cites US Ambassador Mike Huckabee's term "unsettlers" for such extremists, stresses they represent a tiny fraction of the more than 500,000 Jewish residents of the West Bank, and points to an under-reported stabbing of a 24-year-old Israeli near Auja last week as an example of violence against Israelis that receives little media attention.
