UPDATE
Thanks to the many of you who registered your complaints with Time, the offending headline has now been changed:
* * *
A rocket fired from Gaza hit southern Israel on Tuesday night, landing near the town of Gan Yavne, outside the coastal city of Ashdod. While there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, this was nonetheless a serious and unacceptable incident.
It appears that internal fighting within the Islamic Jihad terror organization led to the rocket fire. Israel launched limited air strikes on Gazan terrorist infrastructure in response.
Most of the international media’s headlines, while leading with the air strikes, did include mention that these followed a Palestinian rocket attack. Not Time magazine however, which ran this chronologically inverted headline:
Time follows a familiar pattern whereby the emphasis placed on Israeli responses to Palestinian terror create the impression of Israel as an aggressor deploying “disproportionate force.”
