Very nice the way the BBC puts sneer quotes around the word killed in this article:

Israeli barrier guards 'killed'

Two Israeli security guards have been shot dead at the controversial security barrier being constructed by the Jewish state, medical sources say.

Given that the actual reportage says they were shot dead, one would assume that they were actually killed instead of "killed". Perhaps they think that Jews, like vampires, can't actually be "killed".

Hat Tip to Little Green Footballs.

UPDATE: It's been changed - they took away the quotation marks.
