I’m in the US.

I haven’t discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.

I’ve seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven’t determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.

Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.

    I don’t really know how you came to the conclusion that I somehow endorse the killing. I’m just a realist and Hamas gave Israel these options:

    • pretend nothing happened, let Hamas repeat such attacks and kill more civilians
    • hide among civilians to force Israel to kill civilians if they want to target Hamas, which will (understandably) piss off just about anyone

    I’m just saying that’s kinda easy decision on Israel’s side, I’m not saying “fuck it, just kill 'em”.
