...there is something troubling about Reuters's usage. A quick Internet check reveals that, to date, Reuters's news articles have used the expression "ultranationalist Israeli" 4,020 times and "ultranationalist Jew" 839 times, while not using "ultranationalist Palestinian" even once. Can this be called anything but biased?

But perhaps, you might object, Reuters uses other "ultra"-terms for Palestinian extremists. What about them?

Indeed, what about them? For example, Reuters likes to call Palestinians who kill Israelis "militants." Are there any Palestinian "ultramilitants" in Reuters?

Not one.

Perhaps, then, "Palestinian ultra-Islamists"?

Not one, although there are plenty of "Taliban ultra-Islamists" and a smattering of "ultra-Islamists" from Chechnya and other places, too.

Maybe just "Palestinian ultras"?

Not one.

For Reuters, it seems, only Jews can be "ultra" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That's pretty ultra itself. Ultra-anti-Israeli, in fact.
