The headline of this Reuters story is Palestinians in Hebron Kill Suspected Collaborators. Note that there are no quote marks on the word “collaborators.” They probably ran out, after using them all up on the word “terrorist.”
Unlike terrorists, there’s no danger that anyone might equate collaborators with freedom fighters, I guess.

Three Armenian priests in the Church of the Nativity, (you know, the ones who “weren’t hostages”?), escaped last night.
The priests told of “shocking sights” inside the church, including the beating by terrorists of some Christian clergy last night.
Nawwww, no hostages there. Just a little friendly S&M.
Of the many instances of one-sided reporting in this war, this particular incident is one that I find the most inexplicable. I’m still having trouble finding anyone who will criticize the Palestinians for taking over the church–all the blame for the standoff still seems to be levied on the Israelis.
Jonathan Last is shocked to discover that gun owners are not only human, but they’re, well…good people.
