BBC still cant say "murdered" or any active language that means Israel is aggressively bad (though they surprisingly said settler)

Also you can get sued if u say he got murdered when they didn't, very unlikely but possible

Yeah, I’ve noticed the act is rarely called a murder in headlines or news articles. It’s always couched in such a way that I assumed it was to avoid lawsuits

Wouldn’t it be like “falsely” accusing whoever shot the person of committing a crime before they’re charged with murder, essentially defaming them?

Depends in this scenario I think it's we know who shot him we don't know the why it happened

Yes, the other option would be “allegedly murdered” which sounds worse to me tbh

hardly, the guy shot murdered him is sanctioned by 8 countries (formerly 9) and is a known leader of settler terrorism. the victim was involved in a documentary that exposes settler violence, pretty cut and dry. not to mention, there’s a pretty obvious reason that settlers rape and murder palestinians in the west bank. because they can.

Again if you wrong it doesn't matter, a lot of civil trials you aren't allowed to bring up past actions

When you publish thousands of articles a year if you were to assume everytime you'd be wrong at least a few

here’s the issue… this isn’t an ambiguous situation, we fucking know what happened. and also, quit that bullshit about them protecting themselves, they use emotional and accusatory language whenever something happens to white or jewish people. israelis are murdered, palestinians “die”.
