Flawed headline lets Jerusalem killers off the hook

Your front-page article about the attack on a Jerusalem synagogue by Palestinian militants was reasonably well balanced except for the headline ("Jerusalem synagogue attack leaves four rabbis dead," Nov. 18).

Note the incredible passivity of this headline. It reads as if the synagogue itself were somehow responsible for the attack.

The correct headline should have been "Palestinian terrorists murder four rabbis praying and one policeman."

Please let the truth trump lame attempts at political correctness.
