Baltimore Sun

Headline misleads in coverage of attack in Israel

- — Jeffrey D. Silverberg, Pikesville

A terrorist enters an Israeli population center. He stabs five Jews, all private citizens, two of them fatally. He steals a car and kills another Jew by ramming into his car. As he attempts to flee, the murderer is shot and killed by an off-duty Israeli soldier. The Baltimore Sun’s headline is this: “Soldier kills Palestinia­n man after fatal attack, Israel says” (Nov. 16). Really? That’s the story, or so “Israel says?” This headline is repugnant. It is biased and misleading.
