Media Biased Ideology Rewrite

Originial Source: New security measures considered amid continuing violence in Israel 
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/13/middleeast/israeli-palestinian-violence/

The original source contains some biased view regarding the violence within Israel and also further criticizes the violence in Middle East Region as a whole. The news is representing in a way that lead the audience toward one-sided view to understand that Israel will use forces to reduce and end the violence. It [the new agency] also interviewed a man who involved in the conflict, and later implies that the Palestinian [attackers] had tried to negotiate but it didn't work. Although CNN did interview, they interviewed "a youth" who might not able to comprehend things as adult. So his/her notion or ideology might only follow the majority of Palestinians who take part in a violence.

Furthermore the claims made by Israel authorities to Palestinians are mostly describes as "terrorist" which provides a negative perspective from the Israel's side. The negative words such as "bloody, terrorism" are used quite a lot within the article. This and other aspect used to describe the situation potentially makes the aspect of the news to be in a negative side as a whole.

Pastiche: 
So what I'm trying to create here is to rewrite similar news article but biased to Israel side. I will try to write in a way that what Israel is tring to do is to create peace negotiation and to reduce the tension in Jerusalem as well as to settle through dispute diplomatically. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges negotiations for peace in Jerusalem violence


Although there were many clashes between Israeli police forces and Palestinian that injured dozens of people, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu is showing clear sign that he is willing to move toward peace amid questions from people "when, how, or will the violence stop?"

Mr Netayahu has urged Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to hold negotiations to settle the conflict that led to deadly violence. He said he was "perfectly open" to a meeting that might be potentially "useful"

Tensions between Isarelis and Palestinians have been gradually increased after several attackers - mostly Palestinians - had been wounded recently. However Mr Netanyahu clarifies that a security deployment in Jerusalem to cope with the assault carried by Palestinians was to calm the tensions between the two sides and control a situation within Jerusalem. 

"Right now as we can speak, we can meet - I have no problem with that - and we shall stop immediately this wave of incitement and attacks against Israel," Mr Netanyahu told a news conference. 

Furthermore the Israeli leader said he was also willing to meet US Secretary of State John Kerry and Jordan's King Abdullah for diplomatic talks to defuse and seduce the tension. In this case the White House and US state department confirmed that Seretary of State John Kerry would travel to the region soon.

Some critics have also suggested that the violence is the consequence of the absence of any progress toward peace. Mr Mahmoud Abbas, a Palestinian President, likewise accused Israel of using unnecessary force against Palestinians that resulted in the death of 13-year-old and 15-year-old boy killed. He said Israel was carring out "execution of our children in cold blood". 

However Mr Netanyahu rejected this as a "new big lies" in the news conference saying that the police was merely trying to end an act of violence. He said the two boys were carrying a knift and had stabbed two Israeli policemen already. 

Israeli authority said new measures, such as homes of attackers would be demolished and families would be expelled from Jerusarem, have also been implemented to penalize those who use violence

Though Human Rights authorities comdemned the new measures, Mr Netanyahu emphasized that such measures need to be implemented to deal with "people wielding knives, meat cleavers, axes, trying to kill people on the street".

  1. I found it interesting to read your re write of the original article. I agree after reading your original source that there are many examples and instances of bias included. I found it interesting to learn about your perspective on this matter. Good Job and keep up the good work.

  2. I think this article was changed very effectively, omitting the word 'terrorist.' Also, it was good in portraying certain actions as negative and those to correct them as more just. Quotes were good but I get the feeling that they were overused and might lower the credibility.

  3. You make a good use of the quotations in your revision. This was an interesting article to read and I was able to identify clear moments of bias towards Israel such as in the 4th to last paragraph where you talk about the Palestinian president accusing Israel.
