Perfidious Headline of the Week: "Three Palestinians killed in anti-Israel attack"

Jews were also killed, but who cares about them? From the "honorary-Episcopalians" at AFP:
Three Palestinian activists were killed early Sunday in an attack on an Israeli military post on the border between Israel and the south of the Gaza Strip, the group Committees of Popular Resistance announced.

Military sources in Jerusalem said several Israeli soldiers were also killed or wounded in the attack near the Sufa and Kerem Shalom crossing points.
I'm usually pretty calm when I post something--I'm not calm now.

Update: Speaking of Palestinian attacks, here is a great post from JoeSettler.

Further update: This item from Israel Matzav suggests that early reports only mentioned Israeli wounded. Perhaps the AFP writer wrote the headline, added to the article, and then neglected to update the headline. It's still telling.
