Israel to take more Palestinian land

This is an intriguing way to report a war crime, courtesy of the BBC. It begins with the headline:

The Israeli government has announced plans to build nearly 900 new housing units in a part of East Jerusalem that is considered occupied territory.

Which is a nice way of saying that Palestinians are being evicted to make room for Jews who could be from anywhere in the world. The balance of the report is actually on Israel PM Olmert's trouble over corruption charges the land confiscation story is not mentioned any further. This is the BBC method of propaganda. Frame the story from an Israeli persepective (leader embattled, talks coming up with the Palestinians, etc). Report crimes committed against the Palestinians as though they were something happening in the periphery.
