Hebron - a Volatile City

"Israeli Minister Struggles to Form a Government"
By Ethan Bronner

Nearly the entire article is informative and neutral. The first sentence of the last paragraph, however, is a swipe at Jewish residents of Hebron - a group that has drawn the ire of many who are against the settlement enterprise.

Bronner writes, "Hebron’s volatile Jewish settlers have complained about the Palestinian deployment..."

Indeed, calling the Jews of Hebron "volatile" is not unjustified, but that adjective could also be applied to the Palestinian residents of Hebron. Perhaps a remark that referred to both Jews and Arabs in Hebron as volatile, or referring to Hebron itself as a volatile city, would have been more appropriate.
