Title Purposely Misleads Readers

"Israeli Police Kill Palestinian Motorist in East Jerusalem"; By Isabel Kershner; A7

The title misleads readers, as the article reveals. On Tuesday, a motorist tried to run over three officers at a roadblock in Jerusalem, though Isabel Kershner reports that the driver "ran into" officers. 

The state of denial among East Jerusalem Arabs about this attack and a previous one, which led to a house demolition that also occurred on Tuesday, is remarkable. 

Mahmoud Atar, a witness, claims the motorist "was driving a little fast, and [the officers] opened fire." Injuries to all three officers sustained during the attack apparently escaped Atar's attention. 

The father of Hussam Dweikat, the man who murdered three Israelis last year in a driving attack, "assumed his son was in a traffic accident."

Kershner is sure to send her usual message to NYT's reading public that efforts to deter terrorism will only abet it, which leaves Israel the option of appeasement. She does so through a quote from Hussam's father at the end of the article.
