    this one's got it all: "death toll rises" -- no one was killed and no one specific party did the killing, the death toll just mysteriously "rises" "clashes" -- launders all power asymmetry "2,400 people have been injured" -- all 2,400 are Palestinian but lets go with "people"


  3. Voor het geval je het gemist hebt

    The nonviolent mass movement in , the absence of which Western media commentators have been hectoring and lecturing about for decades, has arrived. is, predictably, shooting it down. With hunting rifles.

  10. That entry appears three posts *after* this one from Amnesty: 'We are witnessing an abhorrent violation of Int law and human rights. 38 confirmed dead, including children/minors, with close to 2000 people injured in .' Are there any limits to the BBC's moral depravity?
