Pal. News: A Question of Illegality

Here's how Ma'an Agency reported the terror attack tonight:

Bethlehem - Ma'an - Two Israeli police officers were killed on Sunday evening near the illegal Masu'a settlement in the West Bank.

They were apparently shot to death, according to Israeli news reports.

...An Israeli police spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing, but that there is a working assumption the two were killed by Palestinians.

"The two had been killed by gunshots and the main suspicion points to a nationalistic motive," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld reportedly said, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The illegal settlement of Masu'a is in the Jordan Valley, southeast of Nablus and near the other illegal West Bank settlement of Ariel.


Does three mentions of "illegal" make the killings "legal" in Pal. eyes?

No. But it doesn't make the illegal settlements legal either.

if i am reading correctly, it's only assumption that it was done by Palestinians and you are jumping on it accusing and labeling it as "Pal.terror".

Galia, you're amazing (no sexism here; it's your brains I'm referring to). I guess, to be judicial, one must assume. Of course, it could be a bunch of Thailand foreign workers or some International Solidarity activists who have given up nonviolence.

Galia, you can be be on my site pro-Pal. Just don't be silly.

Or it could be a simple homocide case.
One is innocent until proven guilty, is it different in Israel?
