Why is the BBC putting words in the mouths of Palestinians? Could it be that Alan Johnston couldn’t find anyone to express the usual lines about the way “Israel grossly over-reacts” to rocket attacks? We have to wonder which horse’s mouth this snippet came from:
And all Palestinians would argue that Israel grossly over-reacts to the missile attacks from Gaza.
The crudely made rockets often cause panic and minor injury, but they very rarely kill.
How hard should it be to find one Palestinian accusing Israel of over-reacting?
