[A] masterpiece of editorializing masked as news reporting
The entirety of the AP article excerpted below is a masterpiece of editorializing masked as news reporting, and is a viciously biased, one-sided recounting of historical and recent events so as to demonize Israel. The essential facts here are that two “Palestinian” jihadis, the “teenagers” below, were killed, and another jihadi killed a soldier and injured three other people in retaliation.

It was the latest bloodshed in the deadliest round of fighting in the area in seven years. It also came less than 24 hours before Israel was to begin celebrating the weeklong Sukkot holiday, a time when tens of thousands of Jews visit the holy city.
Saturday night’s shooting occurred at a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem. Police said the assailant got out of a car and opened fire, seriously wounding the female soldier and a security guard before running into the camp. The army announced early Sunday that the woman, who was 19, had died.
Police said two members of the paramilitary border police unit were lightly wounded by shrapnel.
Police said they were searching for the attacker, with special forces and a helicopter involved in the search. Police said early Sunday that they arrested one person on suspicion of involvement in the attack, but were continuing the manhunt….
