This is John Simpson, a BBC journalist. According to John "Hamas killed" and Israelis "were raped or killed" but when it comes to Palestinians, they were just "dead". Apparently, nobody killed them but they were just "dead". Don't be like John. Use your verbs properly.
On this day in 2004, British journalist and photographer Tom Hurndall died of his wounds after being shot by an Israeli sniper in the Gaza Strip while attempting to save Palestinian children from Israeli army gunfire.
