AFP Headline: "Palestinian shot dead after new bulldozer rampage"

Don't headlines like this drive you crazy? I guess it could be worse. It could read "Zionism claims latest victim following operation gone horribly wrong" or "Means of flattening Rachel Corrie utilized by activist." The story informs us:
The White House urged "all parties" in the Middle East to condemn the attack if Israel determines it was an act of terrorism.

"Terrorist attacks do nothing to further the goals of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace, a goal the president has been advocating for, and that both of those countries' leaders have been working toward," said spokeswoman Dana Perino.
It would be really helpful if the victims would condemn the attack, in other words, and if maybe Nasrallah could put in a few words about how he condemns all attacks on civilians whether by Palestinians or evil bloodthirsty Zionists, that would be good too. I mean, ploughing through a bunch of people with a bulldozer does "nothing to further the goals of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace" despite the obviously misguided intentions of the driver-activist.
