UPDATES:


Dear Reuters, You Must Be Kidding  -Jeffrey Goldberg

A Reuters story on Wednesday's Jerusalem bombing reported: "Police said it was a 'terrorist attack' - Israel's term for a Palestinian strike."

Those Israelis and their crazy terms! I mean, referring to a fatal bombing of civilians as a "terrorist attack"?

Who are they kidding? Everyone knows that a fatal bombing of Israeli civilians should be referred to as a "teachable moment." Or as a "venting of certain frustrations." Or as "an understandable reaction to Jewish perfidy."

I suppose Reuters will mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by referring to the attacks as "an exercise in urban renewal."
