Sunday Times Adds the Missing Word

An otherwise solid story in The Sunday Times on Scottish Jewish community plans to have an official stall at the Scottish National Party (SNP) annual conference included the following paragraph:

We wrote to The Sunday Times and the journalist responsible for the article pointing out that it was unacceptable to refer to Israeli “atrocities” as if they were an undeniable fact.

Thanks to The Sunday Times for agreeing with us. The article now includes the single yet extremely important word “alleged” in that paragraph.
