Re: 'scare quotes' in your headline
Dear Sir:
Reading recently your or some other you-name-it European cool-to-Israel medium headline, such as, Mass stabbing on Tel Aviv bus by Palestinian 'terrorist' I thought I might suggest some edits to incorporate your rancid anti-exactitude as well as benign anti-Semitism and more closely comport with your target demographic:
Generalized poking with a sharp, steely object against unworthy-to-live though innocent victims on a [nameless city because we dislike Israel so much it hurts to mention a major Israeli city, especially in our headline] moving public vehicle by a [splendid individual who happens to believe in the slaughter of innocent Jews, Christians, Hindus, Baha'i, Zoroastrians, tourists and random others as well as muslim [sic] cults other than from his own blood tribal and feudal sort - but no judgment, okay?] male person who lives on disputed land claimed belatedly by people who came late to a tiny plot of sandy earth inhabited millennia earlier and currently by [namelessly guilty and probably disreputable Jews chased out of virtually every country because it's just so much fun to hate those guys, right, especially if one is British, paranoid anti-Zionist and overall a genial bigot] and held a not-articulated but worthy beef against these interloper types who happened to get in front of his steely object, repeatedly - but is not a bad person, everyone in these editorial offices would be bound to admit, with a rueful and righteous grin.
That way, you could avoid the blasphemous and obscene scare quotes you vilely included in your headline around the consummately apt term terrorist.
Cheers.
