The IDF has stated that its forces did not fire directly upon Palestinians in Rafah today. Palestinians dispute this. Whose side in this dispute have these ostensibly neutral news outlets adopted, as illustrated by their headlines?
Guardian: ‘Israelis Fire on Rafah Protest’
AFP: ’10 Palestinians killed as Israeli army fires on protest against bloody raid’
Reuters: ‘Israeli Forces Fire on Crowd in Gaza, Killing 10’
BBC: ‘Israelis Fire on Crowds in Gaza’
MSNBC: ‘Israelis Fire on Protestors; 10 Reported Dead’
Washington Post: ‘Israeli Attack on Gaza Protest Kills at Least 12’
Australian Broadcasting Network: ‘Israelis Fire on Crowds in Gaza’ (ABC headline to wire service story)
