Jerusalem has suffered another terror attack. In similar fashion to a previous attack, a Palestinian has driven a car into a crowd of Israeli pedestrians before being shot dead by police. At the time of writing, one person has been killed and 14 more injured in the incident which took place late Wednesday morning at a light rail station on the seam-line between the west and east of the city.
And like in previous incidents of this nature, the BBC has produced an appalling headline:
That the BBC has apportioned blame to an anonymous “driver” rather than an inanimate vehicle hardly constitutes any improvement on its previous efforts. Just when will the BBC learn?
UPDATE
The BBC has updated its headline:
The BBC usually refers to “East Jerusalem” when it wishes to portray that part of the city as Arab or Palestinian. Therefore the headline now implies the pedestrians involved in this attack are most likely Palestinians, which is certainly not the case.
UPDATE 2
And so it continues:
Is the BBC asking to be ridiculed? Draw your own conclusions.
