    Absolutely HATE the passive voice and I do think the title is terrible and avoids blame.

    But the headline isn’t TOTALLY without merit. The provided total of dead and injured weren’t solely killed by Israeli military. Apparently many were killed or injured when the aid trucks decided to get the hell out of there and ran over a bunch of Palestinians to escape.

    Still 100% Israel’s fault, but it technically couldn’t say “killed by Israeli gunfire”.

      “Killed in Israeli attack on aid trucks” would work.

      If someone deliberately set fire to a theater and 10 people died from being trampled, you would still say they died in the arsonist’s attack, even though they didn’t die from the arsonist’s attack.

        Yep, or “IDF causes muderous mayhem in unprovoked slaughter of more than 100 innocent civilians waiting for humanitarian aid.” Even a bit of alliteration, news outlets love that.

    The fella in the suit looks a bit like hitler (or is that the joke? Not sure if it’s that or the “chaotic incident” wording)
