re: #257 Killgore Trout

A lot of these idiots are going to get themselves killed and accomplish absolutely nothing, Such a shame to see them doing this again.

And how does the BBC spin this into their headline?

Israeli forces open fire at Palestinian protesters

It’s not until the 3rd line you are told what is the cause behind Israeli actions:

“Israeli forces have fired on groups of protesters at borders with the Palestinian territories, Syria and Lebanon.

Reports say that at least 12 people have died and dozens more have been injured.

In one incident, thousands of Palestinian supporters from Syria entered the Golan Heights, Israel says.
