Will the media show you this photo?

Remember during the London Olympics, we brought you the story about how the BBC portrayed Israel on its country profile pages? Click here to remind yourself.

Well, with the Daily Mail making a gaffe while attempting to demonise Israel this week too, it's broadly accept amongst mainstream media types that reporting on the Middle East conflict should come along with a standard "Israeli solider being aggressive" image. 

But for every incident of aggression from Israeli soldiers, you could easily find several provocations or instances of aggression from the other side. Yet these are rarely displayed. 

In fact, the image below doesn't seem to come up on any websites in the world when we ran it through the TinEye image search engine. But photos like this one display seven pages worth of results.

Interesting, isn't it?

So again the question must be asked: Will the media show you this photo?

We won't hold our breath, but this Israeli solider probably has to, as many try to provoke him into a reaction, cameras at the ready.
