Abandoning?

This headline got me wondering:

Isolated by winter storm, thousands of Jewish settlers abandon their homes
Settlers have left both prefab homes and permanent housing, aided by the Israel Defense Forces and volunteers.
By Yair Ettinger and Jack Khoury

After all, the two esteemed journalists could have written:

Abandoned by essential services, Jewish residents of hill-country seek temporary relief 

After all, we're not like the Arabs who fled in 1948 and became ... refugees.



P.S.

Ha-Ha-Haaretz has abandone us years ago.
