"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

No bias here. The AP is reporting on the standoff at the Church of Nativity. There is not one mention of the fact that there are known terrorists holding people hostage in the Church. The Israelis are apprently beseiging about 100 Palestinian 'policemen' and a bunch of civlians.
The Palestinians...believed the church was the safest place from Israeli fire : but no need to fear of the indiscrimiate fire of armed terrorists taking over the Church.
...the darkest moments came when two Palestinian policemen were shot and killed. In the first instance, a policeman had helped extinguish a fire in part of the compound that was caused by Israeli stun grenades and was shot in the head as he was crossing a yard to return to the basilica, Abu Surour said. The second policeman to die was shot by an Israeli sniper after he ran an electrical cord into the adjacent Casanova Hotel : no mention of wether the 'policemen' were running these missions of 'mercy' while armed.
