The missile didn't just land there, Israel shot it at him. Stop using passive voice to describe Israeli war crimes.

I agree, this is not my title, but the title from BBC.

It's the BBC mouthpiece.

And risk upsetting Israel? That'll get you arrested on a good day, missiles shot at you on a bad one.

Over 6,000,000 Jews were placed into protective custody during world war 2.

That's an "interesting" way to frame the holocaust, I guess, but I'm struggling to understand the relevancy?

I think, and praying I'm correct, that they are showing how passive language can be used to excuse the worst behaviors of humanity.

Yeah, now that I've thought about it, you're probably right. I guess my hackles just get raised when people start talking about "jews" when you criticize Israel.
