A father and son became the latest Israeli victims of Palestinian terrorism when a gunman (terrorist) opened fire on them at a carwash close to the West Bank town of Huwara on Saturday afternoon. Both the BBC and AFP failed to include the fact that Shai and Aviad Nigreker were both residents of the southern Israeli city of Ashdod and were not — as both news reports suggest — settlers living in a West Bank settlement. Note: all the reports I've read seem to excuse the Palestinian murder of these two men because they might have been "settlers." The LA Times and Reuters take it further with their headline implying that there's doubt that the shooter was Palestinian!
