The Times Delineates a "Jewish Border"

The Times of London (subscription only) reports on the death of an Iranian general on Syrian territory, allegedly in an Israeli drone strike. But the story gets off to a strange start:

A state’s border, of course, cannot be defined by religion nor can they be religious. On the assumption that this is nothing more than a editorial error, we expect The Times, having been notified by HonestReporting, to correct its misleading terminology.

We do, however, wish to thank The Times for recognizing Israel’s border with Syria.

UPDATE

The Times has removed the word “Jewish” from the paragraph, which now refers simply to “the border.”
