The word is misused.


Is that all? Gee sorry...You would think the point I was trying to make would be far more important that misusing a word...But thank you.

I think calling the Kurds insurgents completely negates the point you were trying to make.

Teaching the Kurds to defend themselves is somehow more newsworthy than teaching someone to plant a roadside bomb or blow up a restaraunt. That is a bit more of a point.

Of course, the real fear is that Israel will actually start getting along with someone outside of their border and prove most of Europe wrong about certain causes and effects in Israel.

The content of the article being accurate is irrelevant. The fact that it was presented in such a manner is relevant. Israel actually training Kurds to better defend themselves (weather an Israeli or the IDN) is not news worthy as a scandal. The information is not presented in a provocative manner, but rather a provoking one. That's pretty sad.
