"Violence erupts" - all by itself!

When the media uses the passive voice concerning violence in Israel, you can be sure that the violence wasn't started by the Israelis:

Clashes in Jerusalem Mark Rising Tensions
US envoy halts trip as violence erupts over Jerusalem flats

Palestinian Arabs don't riot. They are just passive bystanders as "violence erupts." And rocks just happen to crash through car windows, all by themselves.
