In response to our efforts, AP has now modified their story!

AP has now added the following information to their story:

"Israel, which annexed east Jerusalem after captured it [sic] in the 1967 Middle East War, differentiates between districts like Gilo, which have been incorporated into its city limits, and the settlements it has constructed in the West Bank.

"Palestinians and most of the international community reject that distinction, and consider East Jerusalem neighborhoods settlements."

In addition, they have also removed the mention of how many Israelis have been killed and injured since July... perhaps because they did not wish to reveal how many more Palestinians, including children, have been killed and injured during this period...

Therefore, while the AP report is still highly Israeli-centric (for example, the lead paragraph is still highly misleading and nowhere do they report that settlements are illegal), we feel there is less need to continue to contact them on this particular news report.

Thank you for your help in achieving this change!

Police: Palestinian man fatally stabs Israeli

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A Palestinian stabbed two Israelis in east Jerusalem on Thursday, killing an 86-year-old man and wounding a police officer in what authorities called a "terror incident."

Police shot and seriously wounded the man.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the attack erupted when two police officers stopped to question an Arab man during a patrol in the Jewish residential neighborhood of Gilo. The man pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the officers, who then managed to shoot him.

Israel, which annexed east Jerusalem after captured it in the 1967 Middle East War, differentiates between districts like Gilo, which have been incorporated into its city limits, and the settlements it has constructed in the West Bank.

Palestinians and most of the international community reject that distinction, and consider East Jerusalem neighborhoods settlements.

The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state.

Rosenfeld said the wounded attacker then grabbed a passer-by and stabbed him before being overpowered. The 86-year-old civilian was dead on arrival at the emergency room, said Shoham Ruvio, spokeswoman at the city's Shaarei Tzedek hospital.

Medics described the policeman's wounds as "moderate."

The assailant was captured by a civilian as he tried to flee up a steep staircase leading to a hilltop neighborhood.

"He was shot but he kept running," Yoav Mizrahi told Israel's Army Radio. "After a while he got tired and I caught up with him. I ran after him and caught him, wrestled him to the ground and twisted his arm behind his back."

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the stabbing.

The Israeli military later searched the West Bank home of the attacker, identified by neighbors as Mohammed Albaden, in the village of Tekoa, near Bethlehem. Witnesses said two of Albaden's friends were taken away in military jeeps.

Witnesses said about 100 local teenagers hurled rocks at the soldiers, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. Palestinian medics said three Palestinians were lightly injured. The army said a soldier was also lightly wounded, but gave no further details.

The attack was the second in a month in Jerusalem and the fourth since July.
