Pray tell, @NYTimes, how was this soldier "struck in the head by a heavy rock?"

Should readers not be told how it was that the rock was flying through the air? Why the passive voice?

There are not "more than seven million Palestinian refugees," @NZHerald.

Around 700,000 Palestinians were left homeless in 1948.

The children and grandchildren of refugees are not themselves refugees. Calling them refugees is quite simply false.
@nzherald A quick reminder: The world over a refugee is defined as "a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster."
@nzherald Regrettably, some may twist the definition of "refugee" for political means, weaponizing it against Israel. For them, Palestinians are in a class of their own. Rather than enabling their rehabilitation, they seek to keep Palestinians in permanent refugee status.

There is no 'moral case' against a national liberation movement, @abcnews.

Without getting into details — suffice it to say that whatever your criticism of leaders and politicians, the fact remains that Jews have as much of a right as anyone to their own state.
@abcnews This is a disgusting piece of delegitimization, aimed at making the presence of Jews in their homeland invalid. That simply won't rub.
@abcnews The piece repeatedly makes reference to European Jews, but obscures the fact that the majority of Israeli Jews are actually of Middle Eastern extract.

This week marks 19 years since Tuvia Grossman, the bloodied "Palestinian," appeared in the media, leading to the creation of HonestReporting.

On Sep 30, 2000, The @nytimes @AP and others published a photo of a bloodied young man seen below a club-wielding Israeli policeman.
@nytimes @AP The caption read, “An Israeli policeman and a Palestinian on the Temple Mount”, and the pose suggested that the Israeli policeman was responsible for the injuries of the “Palestinian” man in the foreground.
@nytimes @AP In reality, the man was not a Palestinian Arab at all, but a Jewish American yeshiva student named Tuvia Grossman. Grossman had been pulled from a taxi in Jerusalem by a mob of Arabs and severely beaten.
