On the contrary, I think AP is showing some progress. Usually I would have expected something like this:

“Abdul ibn Houri, a sensitive, educated, almost poetical young Arab, driven beyond his wits by the brutal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, stabbed some Jew.”

And yes, the Israeli spokesman called it a “terror incident.” In the same spirit, I am calling water “wet.”

I love the characterization of Gilo as “east Jerusalem.” In what part of Jerusalem is Gilo located?

The south.

You’ll see the same sort of politicized geography regarding Ramot, which is located in the north of Jerusalem.

He stabbed an 86-year-old man. Gee, what a brave man. What a hero.

What a disgusting creep. I wish they’d killed him, too.
