How did this get in?

Category: Middle East, Terrorism

Israeli forces reoccupied all the West Bank in 2002 after a spate of suicide bombings. Correspondents say their raids, checkpoints and travel restrictions have crippled Palestinian social and economic life.

Whilst underplaying the horrors of suicide bombs against civilians of the politically- sponsored and internationally funded intafada, in the same breath the link between attacks on Israel leading to restrictions on Palestinians is made. None but the most primitive and/or blinkered troglodyte could miss the implication: That the Palestinians have brought their situation on themselves.

Some copy editor must have been asleep for this to have been published by the BBC.
