AP's Biased Headline on Terror Attack in Jerusalem

Hat tip Algemeiner and Frontpage Magazine

Here is a classic example of how the international media covers the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yesterday, a Palestinian drove his vehicle deliberately into a crowd of pedestrians in Jerusalem injuring 8 and killing a 3-month-old baby. Guess what the original headline read.

"Israeli police shoot man in East Jerusalem".

Algemeiner has the story.

And you wonder why so much world opinion is against Israel.

At least AP did not call the killer a "heroic martyr". That was left to one of Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas' advisors.

And get a load of the spin that Seattle-based Israel hater Richard Silverstein puts on it ("chickens coming home to roost") on his dopey blog.

Of course, Silverstein condemns terrorism, but.....
