Calling It Like It Is

These are not the protesters you speak of.

I definitely didn't expect it, but it would seem that Agence France-Presse has finally discovered the subtle difference between a "protest" and a riot. (Yes, it's a topic we've covered frequently over here.)

Palestinian rioters standing behind makeshift shields throw stones at Israeli police during clashes in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Issawiya on May 13, 2011 as Palestinians began marking the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" which befell them following Israel's establishment in 1948.

Hey, what can I say? This is definitely a step in the right direction! Now all we need to do is get them to show the slightest hint of curiosity about what it was that caused this supposed "catastrophe" to happen.
