Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Which says exactly this and no more:
"Murder of Palestinian teen was no 'honor killing,' says his family
16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir's kidnap-murder set off rioting in East Jerusalem throughout Wednesday."
What the **** is an "honor killing" - gang warfare, an irate father... it certainly isn't the "revenge killing" that is under discussion.
No explanation, no 'dysfunctional family" - no "criminal act" just a an unqualified headline.
Today, at the funeral, the parents were still blaming the killing on Israeli extremists and a article discussing CCTV footage of the kidnap was still heralding it as a revenge killing.
There are no press or news reports tonight to claim otherwise - I have little doubt if any contrary information has been forthcoming Gatestone, et al would be crowing it from the rooftops - it is still being treated as a "revenge killing" both on the news and on the net.
