Why blame Israel

I would like to draw your attention to the article Israel shoots dead five Palestinians; clashes in W. Bank (Feb 16).

I would like to draw your attention to the article Israel shoots dead five Palestinians; clashes in W. Bank (Feb 16). The article itself clearly mentions four different attacks of Palestinians against Israelis: Two 15-year-olds attacked an Israeli patrol with rocks and later opened fire on the patrol; a Palestinian tried to stab an Israeli border policeman next to Bethlehem; a young Palestinian tried to stab Israeli border policeman in Hebron; two armed Palestinians attacked Israeli police outside Old Jerusalem. Four different events in which Palestinians attacked Israelis are mentioned, yet the bizarre and unexplainable headline portrayed the terrorists in each and every one of these attacks as the victims. It neglected to mention in the headline those acts of terror that they conducted or the aim of those acts.
