Please have the decency to admit that you jumped the gun and proclaimed as fact that the deaths were caused by an Israeli shell, errant or not. Yes, so did many others, but they wait like cats to pounce on every opportunity to make the Israeli military seem overly aggressive, despite the truth to the contrary. Your readers are entitled to a headlined retraction, and a promise that before removing words like "alleged" you will be sure. And you should be embarrassed trying to wiggle out of the quotated use of the word "errant." If you were quoting a news outlet, then provide the reference. If not, then your readers will assume you were being sarcastic. The sentence was fine without the quotation around the word. In fact, removing the quotation changes the sentence to more fairly describe the shell as truly errant, without suspicion. Your use of the highlight was uncalled for and puts you in a class not unlike the National Enquirer. Finally, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Civilian death to you seems to matter most when it can make Israel look bad. I searched your archives and could not find the name Wultz anywhere.
