    Hell no. Western reporting will run headlines like “Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds”. In car crash that would be something like “During tensions between Israel and Gaza children have passed away UN inquiry finds”

      Yeah, headlines in June 2026 are different. The “Israelis are killed, Palestinians die” problem was more pronounced earlier in the genocide and there are a lot of articles about it.

      On a more individual incident level it works: Four killed in Gaza attacks as Hamas security chief abducted

        The BBC’s report was criticized by activists who considered the original headline (“Gaza man with Down’s syndrome dies lonely death”) to be obscuring the Israeli military’s responsibility in the incident; the headline was later changed to “Gaza man with Down’s syndrome attacked by IDF dog and left to die, mother tells BBC”.[10][3] The New Arab reported that the attack was not mentioned until the article’s 16th paragraph, nearly halfway through the article.[3]

        Memorable example.

        Try “Belgian driver convicted of murder over carnival car crash that killed seven people”

        Guy literally got convicted of murder and it is still just a “crash”.

        Hell you can even murder police and get a headline like: "Police sergeant dies from injuries after officials say man intentionally rammed into his motorcycle"
